Flushed the brakes and found the original headlight protectors in the back of the garage. Gave them a good clean up, replaced the little silicone pads with new ones.

I’ve looked at the pictures of this car over the last few years and always wondered if you would ever sell?
It’s been something of a dream of mine to own an Enhanced Calais

I'm posting up a new thread as the old one was lost.

Model - 1991 VP HSV Enhanced Calais
Colour - Imperial Blue
Odometer - 138,000km
Transmission - Auto
Exhaust - Twin cat 2.5" system into 3", no resonator
HSV Enhancements:

• 5L 180kW engine pack
• HSV 16 x 8 Family wheels
• HSV Suspension kit
• HSV Body kit
• Momo steering wheel

Also has electric sunroof and stereo (JVC Exad hu, Focal splits, Pioneer sub and amp, Alpine V12 amp).

Here are some pics. The first pic was when I first bought it in 2003, it had 103,000km on it.

The rest of the pics are from my mobile and the car is filthy, hasn't been washed in 6 months and has spent the last 4 years living outside

Will post up new pics with digital camera and when the car has been fully detailed soon.

Just bought a new house so its going to go into the garage where I can spend some time bringing it back to mint condition like it was when I first bought it.

What a shame you let it go! I always loved the VP Calais. It looked the goods!!

Ive always dreamt of owning one as well! The closest I got was a VP Executive with the V8 option

Sorry guys, can't see myself letting this go anytime soon, despite monthly threats from the better half!

I found some older pics when it first came out of the shed around 2016 when I tried to have a go at getting it going. Lost motivation after trying to strip window tint, in a shed, in Brisbane summer haha.

Will be booking it in soon for auto service, sort the cold start issue I have, replace fuel tank breather hoses and get the aircon fixed.
