I just had this delivered last night after purchasing the car on Saturday. A 2005 Holden Statesman.

Having previously come from the Soarer community, and after that, being landed with a Miata, this is the upgrade I was looking for. I spent 12 months looking for this exact car -- big, black, low, tidy, good kms, and tight as a drum.
It's also spec'd with black leather and Caprice alloys.

Some photos after my first drive with it - very pleased! Needs a wash and a detail but I'll get 'round to that on the weekend.

You might notice it doesn't have a headunit - well, I bought it off an old Brethren couple. They can't listen to music inside their cars. Fine by me - I'm purchasing a Blaupunkt 830 for this girl!

The leather is a lovely charcoal grey.

I was replacing this:

Enjoy!

Nice ride you got :)

+1 for leather interior

Pitty the lower body skirt isn't black, but still the stato is a good car regardless.

As for the lower skirts -- it's on the boards.

(sorry, this post sounds a bit off -- the one I posted with images above is still awaiting approval)

I had a mini stalk and did see that! Awesome big barges. Makes my old Soarer seem small.

Well, I bought it off a Brethran couple, and they had that (factory) fitted sheet put over the car. Apparently Holden make that fitting for military vehicles as well.
