G'day, My mate has picked up a SV Calais and we are trying to get some info on what it may be...
I have seen this car now and its quite interesting....its a two-tone Alpine White Calais, with that Pinky coloured lower half/bumpers.
It has the 200KW SV5000 Engine im pretty sure due to Maroon/Red covers etc, and CAI the same as SV5000i too also the Engine no indicates a 200KW SV engine as it is # VE590452 . It has the SV5000 Guard extensions (spats) on the front guards also.
It only has Std VN Silver Calais Interior fitted, it has SV5000 wheels and going by the Wheel placard these were original to the car.
The car also has the twin piston Corvette Brakes and bigger dia. discs fitted.
It has has an SV ID plate..
Build No.: 016 E1
Model: SV CC
Date: 4-5-90
The VIN is 6H8VNX19ULL426762
The HSV authenticate site agrees its a HSV but has no Model or Tag listed for it.
The guy has a HSV 1988-1991 book and it shows a reference to 4 VL Berlina Company Cars from HSV that had serious mods too that Were 'CC' Models meaning Company cars, but his book didnt mention them being released again for VN's.
So there ya go, can anyone shed any further light to what this car is for me???
I suspect this may be a bit of a rare bird!

Ring HSV direct and they will give you the exact details. Thats what I did when I got my car.
I'd say the one you are talking about would be one of the rarest enhancement packs around.
I didnt probably get that out exactly, right...I had been through that list (which is the V6 one) plus a different sheet for the V8 Calais/Berlina 110-200 packs and it does have some of the stuff from a few different packs but does not exactly line up with any particular one exactly.
So I was asking where Could I find out about that specific pack fitted (I guess the answer is ring HSV direct!)
Thanks for the info though I do appreciate the help!
Only Milk and Juice comes in 2.0 Litres!!!
It doesn't have a pack tho, so you'd never find that info. HSV might have kept records of what was fitted, but it would have just been selected options that the guy wanted when he got it.

They will tell you exactly what they did to the car. They sent me a letter for free stating my car was genuine with the list of following enhancements etc etc. Even came with a HSV letter head, so I didn't even need to pay the $50 to get an official letter and all that crap.
From my phone conversation, they do keep records, but don't keep build numbers of enhanced cars, only approximate totals for the entire range.
