Just a VN with a few tacked on bits. I remember riding in and driving a few of these as a young adult. While being quite well refined at low revs with good low down torque, that 3.8 sounded and felt like a wheezing asthmatic at higher revs. The handling relied on a decent set of tyres, as the rear end was always trying overtake the front end. Yes, you could use the throttle to balance the handling, at it's limit, but it always felt like it was just a pot hole or a wet road away from trying to kill you.
I had a HSV VP Wagon...it had a little Pressure gauge in the pocket below the stereo for the rear AIR Shocks....to this day I've NEVER EVER seen another one...only had it for about 18mths. Can't remember what I paid for it New but is was HEAVILY discounted as VP's were coming to the end of the series
Yep I ordered my SS manual in white from the dealer in 1992 and have only driven it 30k It still looks like I picked it up from the dealer with no marks or chips on the paint The rear seats have only been used a few times that’s all and only the second set of tyres Yes they need changing lol the engine purrs really sweet too.. It’s been covered up in the garage since 2004 and hasn’t seen light I should take it out and see what it’s worth $$$
I love this car! I'm getting one for my first car. This yr :D

Take it back to the dealer and get a refund 😂
Probably "Worth" about $4000...but some cashed up Bogan will pay a lot more
Safer????? that car scored worst for crash safety test in 1993, that forced Holden to introduce VR Commodore with airbag.
Finally Holden made a great car and it was the VP, they are still great cars today.
I drive a 1993 VP
The VN's looked better
