    Wow this thing sounds good! Old enough to remember when these were new and this is definitely a huge upgrade! You are right, they are super comfortable - I did a road trip in the back seat in one back in the early 90's and I slept most of the way, the backseat was basically a bed!

    I once owned a 1988 Holden VL Commodore Turbo BT1, the most fun car I ever owned, and I miss it so much since I sold it way back in 2005, I have a Kia Stinger GT now for 5 years, but the VL turbo was still more fun too drive.

    Nice review Ross. What a nice car and lovely owner. This is clearly a car she uses and enjoys, so good to see it not locked away for "investment" or some other silly reason. Our car season is over in the UK, winter has bitten, may get the odd dry day... so jealous of your weather.

    VL's were great cars with the Nissan engine. I had the VL Calais station wagon selling it for about $7k AUD in tbe late 1990's , very comfortable car, but scary in the wet. I knew someone who had the VL turbo, that was a rare car even when new.

    I think you would regret repainting the car back to original, the colour it is now (looks like Kimberley bronze) is a way better look compared to the original colour. Awesome car!

    • @deevizm8035
      @deevizm8035 ปีที่แล้ว

      She probably will miss the current colour, but her goal is to make it the original colour so it’s unsuspecting, not make it look nice.

      @@deevizm8035unsuspecting?!? It’s a series 200 VL that was an N/A 6 cylinder and now has a V8, it will never be unsuspecting.
      The car is already modified beyond being a series 200 anyway so why spend the money on changing the colour back to original? The colour the car is now is better than original.

      @@danriley1980 because when it’s sitting there turned off, it will look original. Then when she turns the key you will recognise that it’s not a slow ass na rb30. If you don’t like it, that’s ok, but it’s her car and that’s what she wants. I like it because that’s how I built my crown athlete v. Looks like a standard crown but once I turn the key and you hear it, you recognise it’s far from standard.

    30 plus year old car and you don't want to break it? Mate, the bits that make it go are not 30 years old! Got 2 VLs in my shed. A wagon with 1,380,000km on the clock. I used it as a pilot vehicle escorting oversize loads all over Australia for years. More than 200 trips across the Nullarbor! And a '88 SL sedan with 715,000 km on it. Of which I've driven at least 400,000. Both manuals. Both still have their original RB30 engines. Never been rebuilt. Obviously I live in the country and anywhere you want to go is a long way from here haha. Still reckon nothing drives as nice as a vl.
