hi i have a vn 1991 executive limited edition, it has limited edition on the body of the car i was wondering why and wats the difference between the normal model thanks to any1 that can help.
Front what i remember, the LE only got colour coded hub caps (yes hubcaps, not alloys) and bodykit pieces. Not totally sure tho....
Copied from Squarearches.com lots of info. I also added info on a couple of other "special" VN excecs
I wonder if there was another "LE" as I don't rember it been related to the Sydney Opera House when it came out
