Hi guys , Just wondering are Manual Vl calais worth more then automatic Vl calais? And are they rare ? if i can get my hands on one should i be interested as i already have an auto ? How do i know if its genuine manual is it on the tag in the engine bay ? Any help would be great .. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yes theyre more rare so i would say so. Supposedly there was fewer manual VLCT's made then walkys.... Ive never seen a facotry non turbo manual calais. The compliance plate code for a turbo 5 speed box is MX7 Turbo engine is LW5

I have seen factory manual n/a Calais. Eng. LF1 Trans. MF5 Factory manual I'd say a little more worth but less if converted.

Factory manual: Rare Converted: Not so rare

factory manual vlct. now that can be sometimes as rare as a genuine absyinth yellow bt1

The maroon VL V8 [H8 LAG] was originally a VLCT S2 factory manual with a sun roof factory....

Factory 5 lt sl sedans are also very rare

I have an original 87 non turbo manual calais, they'd wanna be rare that's good for later on!

I didn't think they existed. Non turbo calais manuals? Show me a build plate ---------- Post added 11-03-13 at 10:56 ---------- http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/archiv.../t-173093.html (http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/archive/index.php/t-173093.html) No such thing, maybe dealers took special orders, but still none from factory with mf5 on the tag.

Yea i thought there was no such thing. I was thinking why would they build a luxury car with a non luxury option unless the owner optioned it.but then it would be a dealer option?
