VN SV3800 Question

[coolngroovy]

Hi guys,
I know these came out in Dorward blue, but were they released in other colors later on?
A m8 of mine has what we think is a SV3800, but it is Pheonix red.
Cheers, Col.

I've seen them in silver aswell, so quite possibly they come in red aswell.

Ringing hsv and checking the Vin will give you an exact answer, anyone can buy the badges on ebay....

It has the HSV build plate.
If it has been resprayed, they have done a thorough job.

Airstrike would know the paint code if you get that off the build plate.

^^^^^ Doooooo it. People can do really good jobs on building up a fake SV of any kind, all they need to do is keep their eyes out for people wrecking SV's and gather up all the extra's off those SV's and once they fit them all to a stock standard VN etc with a slight kit, they can sometimes make alot more money than hey spent if they have the right contacts.

As Stealthy said, ring HSV. You can fart ass around looking for the extra's this car may or may not have, or you can ring up HSV for the cost of a call and get a spot on correct answer. Hope it pans out well!!

Cheers guys.
My local holden dealer was happy to supply a build sheet for my statey.

I just asked the Q because i have the old magazine article from 'Wheels' 88' states the only color was blue.
I was just wondering if the colour chart was expanded for the later cars.

I think the answer is 'yes'.
