Hey guys, ive spent enough money on my car and I cant really afford to keep doing it, so im considering letting it go. Its a 1987 VL Calais RB30 auto. Colour is Morning Blue/Asteroid Silver 138,000 original Km's Mods: Pacemaker extractors, High flow cat converter, 2.5" exhaust with lukey muffler, Reconditioned cylinder head (2000km's old), K&n panel filter, Gearbox has been rebuilt 20,000kms ago (had its service last week), Monroe GT gas shockies all round, Lowered front springs and ultralow rear king springs, Has 18" chrome Kaotik rims but would be sold with calais rims, MTX 4" dash speakers and Alpine Type S 6.5" rear speakers, 35% tint 2 weeks old Good points: - Drives absolutely perfect, really smooth revving and gear changes - Interior is immaculate, no stains/rips, always have seat cover, floor mats - Has near new brake pads, rotors, wheel bearings, iridium plugs, leads, CAS, K&N filter, battery, thermostat, head gasket - 90% of the paint looks like it is brand new and is very straight Bad Points: - Roof is in need of a respray soon, small area of paint has started to chip off - Front bumper is cracked (I will give a spare one with the car) - Air con/heater works but the vacuum lines have come loose from behind the switches (happened on the weekend) I'm asking 7500 for it. I know some people will think this is very overpriced but this car owes me about 15k (I have reciepts for everything!) Contact me by PM or [phone removed] Pics:

Matt ..! ..You're a douche! As soon as you get a new car you'll see VL's everywhere and miss having one and being part of the VL love! (Speaking from experience!) PS. Is a beautiful example of a Calais nonetheless..
