Full trip computer (ovespeed, distance remaining, fuel instance, fuel average, average speed, trip time, fuel used, digital voltmeter & speedo), cruise control, power arial, power windows, remote central locking with key boot release and immboliser and alarm, 16 inch wheels, two tone paint.
Smaller diameter, higher quality steering wheel, much more velour trim all round, nicer quality velour bucket seats & rear seats with descreet headrests, retracting centre seatbelt (rear) more velour and felt trim on door panels and roof.
Reading lights above both rear passengers as well as two map lights for the front (as well as the Dome), red door lights (to alert other motorists when car door is open) green lights under all footwells (drivers, passengers and rear) to help see the ground at night, cigarette lighter and air flow vents on centre console (for rear passnegers), auto head lights off (delay), wiper intermdiate speed adjustment, dimmer slide control (rather than button), multi length footrest, bonnet-support gas assists, different grill, different pattern over rear lights, different badging, climate control system, BCM (allows power windows to be adjusted when car igntion is off) and auto dome light off (as well as other features). Handbrake warning chime, overspeed warning chime, misc other warning chimes (ie, coolant temp overheating, low fuel).

Okay i am trying to summarise some notes from a holden workshop manual that has differences between an Exec and Calais. This is from VP manual thow, VN would be very similar, maybe not as much security and i dont think there are footwell lights or IRS.

I have some photos but they are rather large, your better off just searching the net for pics of VN's at fan & sales sites (eg, carpoint.com.au) They're heaps around.

Anywhere here's the rest
Standard options also were: Demister auto shut off (after 20 mins), Auto dome shut off after remote locking, auto dome on after remote unlocking, Viatronic power-steering (variable speed pump), Premium stereo, 16" Alloy wheels, & a passenger side sun shield mirror.

Options are V8, Leather interior, digital clock (?), HSVV8, bigger stereo, towbar options, leather steering wheel and boot spoiler.

Again thank you so much. I'm not to sure about the footwell lights but I know the Vn did not have IRS or the alarm/immobiliser package. Thank you again, cheers.
