Well according to Wikipedia, "it is not known whether there were any commercial exports of the VG Utility."

Maybe yours is a private import?

Would wager Holden probably didn't consider NZ an "export country" in the traditional sense, just more Australia that's further away than Tasmania given how long they were selling there for. Ford too in terms of the Falcon.

There were quite a few imported to NZ, but they were not all registered exactly the same. For example.

1991 holden utility (That's how mine is)

1991 holden vg utility

1991 holden utility auto
