Love the SV88, wouldn't hesitate to own one if I could afford to. Oh well, I have a 5L Calais, that's about as close as I'll ever get.

Good thread, Im going to SV88 badge mine soon, there are so many calais replicas out there. These were probably the first holdens to be optioned with fax machines and brick mobile phones. Do you know what radio they got smoked?

Also found 120 of 150 (pictured left) which has been converted into a Walkinshaw Replica: ---------- Post added 17-06-10 at 06:47 ---------- Radio wise, Corsa would know more. If its the same as the F20 it was the 'SV' Dot Matrix Eurovox... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Holden had the Mobile Phone pictured in the Aug 87 Calais brochure and there were a few HDT's that had them prior to HSV starting up. SV88 would have been first with Fax machine. Be interesting to know just how many portable fax machines ever got sold for any type of car. Eurovox 8280 is the radio that the SV88 had. From what i have heard there are quite a few SV88 owners chasing them. Corsa

I'd be asking to see a build plate pic on that one. Could be another variation on an SV CC but the Calais rims wouldn't be likely original. Corsa
