[clubsport_replica]

Yeah it's genuine, only things missing from it being 'complete' (from what I can see) are:

Front calais grille with international badge,
Steering wheel
VQ Caprice rims with International centrecaps.

Apart from that mate, bit of TLC and she'll be beautiful

its also missing the rear spoiler, so it has insulation tape over the holes already there for it.

yeh fingers crossed it down take too much to get back up to scratch.

nice. Get rid of that pod though, put it on the to get rid of list"

Paint looks ok in the photos, Group A buldge ftw.

[clubsport_replica]

yeh pod filter is deff going. paint is all original from what i can see, and it is in fairly good condition but is in desperate need of a good clean n polish.

also love the grp a buldge...

looks good mate ive always been a fan of the VP International's dont see many white ones around

[STEALTHY™]

Nice score for 2500. MORE pics, can never have too many pics. GL finding the parts you need tho, grills are the hardest to find (the lip should be easy tho)

Can you get me a pic of the boot, always wondered where the holes were for the spoiler.
Also can you get me a pic of the compliance plates? Never seen one that early before (with N year code instead of P) Earliest VIN i have is L591556, yours is almost 7000 bodies earlier....

[clubsport_replica]

heres the pics of the tags, once camera is recharged ill try n get one showing the holes in the bootlid..

[STEALTHY™]

Thanks mate, your a champ. To anyone who was doubting it was original, you can't fake the A8X option (2nd pic).....

You have one of the first ones made (maybe even the first.....)

[Renno]

Guy on here owned one, but has sold it now.

Do you mean the one Chirs used to own Nath?

If so, we saw it the other day, looks like the new owner is taking alright care of it

[ducker85]

Tuff man, white 1's seen rare for some reason and grey 1's are everywhere.

good luck finding the parts you need.

should just chase up a stock calais grill n colour code it

[clubsport_replica]

yeh white might be abit plain n boring but it does seem to be fewer on them around from my searching on net.., slowly slowly gathering parts for it mainly just replacing faulty items atm though..

[ducker85]

Just needa get some tuff loking 17 or 18 nich mags on her n cruise it, i'll keep an eye on your progress

[STEALTHY™]

I've seen more white ones in Sa, but know of more black ones interstate. Not a fan of white personally, too much of the one colour. I'd buy one only to have the pair tho

[clubsport_replica]

there all one colour so it would be too much of either colour..., id have a black/grey one if it had new paint, white always looks good haha no mater how old it is...

ive never seen one of these cars till i bought one.
