I can't really inform you about your mates mates car inparticular, however you mate is right and there were only 12 of these babies ever built. They've got a 223kw HDT built V8 in them, and probably one of the most extensive bodykit's around - 21 pieces. They also have IRS fitted as standard as well. Seeing as you posted this in the "For Sale" section - does that mean his Director is for sale?

i don't think all of them had IRS..... have a look here for some more info http://www.brockcommodores.com/Fact%...vldirector.htm (http://www.brockcommodores.com/Fact%20Files/vldirector.htm)

Maybe so. The article says IRS was featured as an "option". But if you were spending the $80,000 or so back when they were released, I'd dare say you'd be ticking the IRS check-box as well.

Can you confirm a built number of some sought? Or pictures of it?

Thread moved.

as far as ive read only one ever came with IRS??? its that red one thats been in mags, awesome car.

yeh thats what ive heard to the irs is the same as used in an opel senator isnt it???

The motors used in the VL Directors were the same spec as what was in th VL Group 3 Signature Series 5L - 187kw 5.6L Stroker - 231kw

The red one (HDTIRS) has IRS, as does the original Ice green one. These are the only two with IRS apart from the original "World Test" Directors which actually wore LE bodykits. Some Calais Sport's also received IRS, along with some Bathurst Aero's, but it was not standard and was an $11500 option at the time. As someone said, it was sourced from the Opal Senator.

if you were to import an opel senator from Europe, how hard would it be to adapt the IRS into a VL???

I hate the Director body kit no offense I think they look like sh*t but still a awesome VL.

Very unique VL.....I like them.

here are soem pics of the Brock Commodores DVD film shoot events in Melbourne (we are producing a DVD on 25 years of HDT, due out September). Plenty more pics than that to go up on the site, but you will notice one of them is of the Ice Green Director. http://www.brockcommodores.com/phpBB...pic.php?t=1931 (http://www.brockcommodores.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1931)
