    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

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.

    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.
