hey does anyone have a rough estimate on how many calais turbo manual wagon there are around as i have been looking in Sydney for 8 month and have found **** all ???? there just seems to be heaps of berlina turbo wagons?

i saw a VL Calais Turbo Wagon in the QLD trading post for $6900... i thought that was a bit low for it - might have been trashed for that price... i think they normally go for about $10 - $15k (just a few grand more than a sedan calais turbo, simply because they are rarer).

There's something about calais turbo wagons in the for sale section

Theyre rare as cause i think they were only made in 88. Not 100% but i think the calais wagons are berlinas but calais optioned.

the one insane vl is taing about is in coomera ql and i will be seeing it on the weekend and will report back on the condition for you guys (provided i dont buy it), seems very cheap, $6900, auto though

there were only 200 calais turbo wagons made - not sure how many of them were turbo, V8 or n\a.

the two I predeliverd were V8 and ive seen plenty RB n/a company reps models. special order all options.someting about belina seats due to the rear bench. the V8 were plated improved but i cant remember by brock or HSV

my brother has a V8 calais wagon and the interior is group A, was like that from the factory i think???

Quote: there were only 200 calais turbo wagons made - not sure how many of them were turbo, that doesn't make sense my friend Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Im not suprised that there are so few CT wagons, but I'm suprised that they are limited and sought after. Isn't the wagon bit the same as the one on the VC? The big chunky back end kinda doesn't go with the sleek front on the VL Calais. So were they actually limited or was it just that not many people wanted em?

i think you find turbo wagons were limited as there not tow vehicles or rep/company exec's cars market. sold lots of vacationer type models in a wagon.

yeah - stuffed up there were 200 calais wagons made!!!!! they were a limited edition. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hehe calais turbo wagon = quick f$#k :twisted:

i have a calais turbo wagon!!! it gets looks like you wouldnt belive and im not boasting or no shi# i think the hks air filta helps as well.. every one wants a race and a lot of ppl dont expect it to be a turbo...good sleeper cops wouldnt know..even tho its been lowered and mags and no rear muff... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

all of the calais turbo wagons were auto also. forget how many were made, not allot ie <200 as mentioned. i gota factory manual berlina wagon. suprises everyone when they here the turbo whine. Ive tried to find build numbers and even asked holden and they said they dont keep records from back then??? I would like to know the number of calas turbo wagons made and manual berlina wagons made? if anyone knows or knows where to get the info from it would be good. cheers

there was only 200 calais wagons but only 50 or less were turbos. the rest were v8s and n/a (i think)

All the Calais Wagons were built in 88. This was because Holden were approaching the new VN model, and still had a good 500-odd Wagon shells that no-one wanted. So released a limited version Calais Wagon to sell off the brand new wagon shells that they wouldnt have otherwise sold. Came in all 3 engine types - n/a 6, turbo 6, and v8. Auto was standard, but Manual was an option (like on any calais). I think there were about 10 Manual Calais Turbo Wagons made from factory - about 50 Calais Turbo Wagons (man and auto), most were n/a (100 odd ?) and about 50 v8's..

there is one around the corner from my place, and i have seen another one getting around town quite a bit lately..

QIKFIX Did you have a look at the wagon in Coomera???? What was it like?

A mate of mine has a VL Calais Turbo manual wagon. He converted it to manual a while ago. Its for sale in WA now. If anyone is interested, PM me.
