interesing,thats alot ofvls off the road

Jeez you must have been bored! The old VLs suffer quite badly from cancer, so that would've claimed a few, and seeing as they're not the strongest of cars, it would be really easy to write one off in an accident. Anyways, there were 151,801 VLs built, and who knows how many made it to NZ, but looks like you still have a few number plates to go!

Not that I know of...but obviously you know something I don't...

A certain someone that loves yellow bt1s another thought is how many have we (as in us CT boys) wrecked for parts I've done 3 I know Dave has done a sh1tload Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

wrecked 4 owned total of 10ish

Quote: there were 151,801 VLs built In Australia......Local Production isnt counted. we built VL's until 1989, alongside the VN, and well into the VN's production run.

Hmmm, a BT1 lover, I wonder who that could be... I didn't realise that build number didn't include NZ built cars, I just found it in one of my myriad Commodore bibles! It would be interesting to know how many VLs were left on NZ roads though.

hey mike the wagon situation didnt look good aye 8 left out of 38 in that lot

Many may have been reregistered too. Like mine... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

lol yeah getting a good little collection of wag parts now -just the rear doors back is all I need thats different to sedan

i've wrecked 2 - both milk bottles and my dad is threatening to have a berlina rolling body towed. i wonder if holden could tell you how many were sold in nz? was the 5.0L manufactured locally or all imported?

All imported, We have only ever assembled sixes and fours, apart from the 30 VH Benson and Hedges cars.

that SL turbo is going to live again soon........what me and a friend are doing is naughty LOL but hes keeping it anyway....and painting it yellow......

i thought it was written off
