I'm in Hamilton. I had a VL 3 litre Calais when I joined Just Commodores, hence the username. Bloody good car, very sweet engine, owned it for about 11 years and did well over 250,000 km in it. I've had Commodores from 1979 starting with a VB SL , then a VC SL both new then the VL second hand, a VY S second hand Gold Certified, it's done well over 400,000 and I still have it and finally the ZB RSV which was new.
The VL Walkinshaw is a very cool looking car. Bit wild for its time, certainly a collectors car.
I'd have kept the VL when I bought the VY but had nowhere to store it at the time.
