Info about this vehicle:

1986 Holden VL Calais Sedan - Blue - 109,788km - Turbocharged 3.0L Inline 6, 4-Speed AutomaticThe VL Calais represents a significant chapter in Australian automotive history. Launched in 1986, the VL was Holden's response to the modern family sedan market, bringing contemporary styling and engineering to the local market. The Calais variant positioned itself as the premium offering within the VL range, targeting buyers who wanted refinement and presence. This particular example is powered by the turbocharged 3.0-litre inline 6-cylinder engine, a potent combination that delivered genuine performance for the era whilst maintaining the reliability Holden buyers expected.The vehicle presents in blue with a two-tone interior scheme typical of the period. The exterior paint holds reasonable gloss across all visible panels, with minor stone chipping evident on the bonnet leading edge, consistent with highway use and age. Panel gaps are even and body lines remain straight with no obvious evidence of accident repair. The four-door sedan body is clean and presentable, with the characteristic VL proportions and chrome detailing intact. The interior shows wear consistent with the vehicle's age and 109,788 kilometres on the odometer. Seat upholstery displays the expected patina of a 38-year-old vehicle, whilst the dashboard and trim remain largely original. The steering wheel shows typical wear from use. All four windows operate, and the original heating and ventilation systems are present. The spare wheel well shows minor surface corrosion typical of vehicles of this vintage.At the heart of this Calais sits the turbocharged 3.0-litre inline 6-cylinder engine, which delivers the performance and character that made the VL Turbo a genuine driver's car. The 4-speed automatic transmission provides smooth power delivery, whilst the rear-wheel-drive configuration offers the engaging driving dynamics that enthusiasts of the era appreciated. The engine bay presents with original components and shows evidence of age-appropriate patina. Vendor documentation indicates the vehicle is unregistered and sold as-is. For the collector or enthusiast seeking an authentic example of 1980s Australian motoring, this VL Calais offers genuine period appeal and the turbocharged performance that defined the model's reputation. This vehicle has been fully restored, original condition, newly trimmed genuine interior, refreshed engine, security system, gps tracker with remote immobilisationFeatures* Turbocharged 3.0-litre inline 6-cylinder petrol engine* 4-speed automatic transmission* Rear-wheel-drive configuration* Four-door sedan body* Five-seat capacity* Right-hand drive* Original two-tone interior scheme* Heating and ventilation systems* Chrome exterior detailing* Two keys suppliedCondition Notes* Minor
