Top 30 dealers were offered a special version of SV5000 as a 1991 version of the SV T30, they were finished in Imperial Blue. At least 1 was released with full SV5000 items but called a T-30.

For the people that have one of the SV5000 half your luck.

Not a lot of info but given the 200kW's I'd say the engine's the same spec as the SV5000 but with 4 bolt mains.

Woudn't that be the Group A? I didn't think any of them came out with Twin TB? Did the Group A?

P.S. This was posted in the 'My Ride' section first, thats why it was moved.

iirc vn hsv le wagons and i think some vp clubsports, and was also an option wheel through holden spare parts. possably some more. you can tell the difference from the out side of the wheel with the 8" wheel the centre badge sat flush with the wheel and the 7" centre badge sat proud of the wheel.
