If its a 98 like you name indicates its a series 1 they updated to series 2 in 99

Looking at your your car I'd guess Series 2, but it could very well be a modified Series 1. I think the VIN number is your best bet.

The only thing that gives me real pause is 1) you say it is a 98 and 2) the side skirt appears to be an aftermarket one and thus it may have been modified beyond that.

I understand your confusion it REALLY looks like a Series 2.

Is there any documentation that came with the car, a service history? Might give you some clues.

if its a berlina the series II will have the traction button opposite the power button near the shifter, as well as some other trip options. but like you have mentioned anybody can change these. best bet is the VIN!

i'd give your local holden dealer a ring and find out for sure, its not that hard to make a s1 look like an s2, its only taillights, side repeaters and a badge

What date was your car manufactured? Check the stamp under the hood (near passenger headlight I think) and it will tell you a month and year, then we can base it from there

Check the tare weight on the rego too, the Berlina S2 was 1555kg. I don't know what the series 1 Berlina weighed, but in the executive, the series 2 was 39kg''s lighter.

^^ the H and S in the VIN is the engine type. H = the V6 and S = Super Charged engine.

Year of M/F

97 = V
98 = W
99 = X
00 = Y
01 = 1
