Update should be tomorrow. ---------- Post added 11-04-14 at 18:27 ---------- Ok, so 12 years ago in the Palmerston North kmart car park I spied a Vl berlina turbo. Intrigued I went and had a chat to the bloke, really nice bloke who let me swoon all over his car. I mentioned to him I would like to buy it but his price was way out of my range. A few years passed and I tracked him down again and offered again to buy it. No was the answer as he was going to do it up as his dad was the original owner in Aussy (sentimental value) more years past an I found him again. The car had been left in a container for 6 years untouched. Unfortunately there is a bit of rust in hard to get areas but as Aaron will tell you that is no excuse. I offered some coin for the car and he regretfully said yes. Handed the cash today and trailered her home. The car is a berlina turbo will full factory electrics.(berlina power pack) untouched and completely original - albeit stripped and in rather poor condition. Nothing thy time and effort can't fix. I don't know how to put photos up but Aaron will no doubt be happy to. And yes the homo knew about this one too. More to come. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Well done! just shows persistence pays off. seen the pic on FB CT looks good have you got any more pics of car? whats the plans ? bring her back to origional state or you got other plans ?

That's awesome Man, another one saved and in safe hands What colour is it? Maybe I'll just wait for the pics Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Cheers boys, yep in safe hands here. Colour is marlin blue. I'll chuck some more pics up when I take them. Plans are a factory resto.

Ahhhhhhhhh Marlin Blue is such a sweet colour I remember seeing a Power Pack Marlin Blue Berlina Sedan awhile back here on CT......just imagine your car looking like this Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Pics please

That car is my inspiration. Love the colour. I'll get some photos on here soon. Raining atm.

Leave it Blue,Nothing worse than painting it a colour it should not be,Ther are enough fake yellow ones out there.Good luck with the resto,and good on you for doing it. Cheers Marty

Cheers Marty Thanks Marty. Yep original colour is marlin blue and that's the way it's staying. Cheers mate.

Original Colour FTW. When I got my red vlt I wasn't overly keen on the colour but it has completely grown on me and now i get excited when ever i see tidy maranello over mx grey vls.

I'm still waiting for pics of this new beast Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
