i can get the specs of the Holden 48 - 215 and onwards until the vx if u want?(not including the toranas)

Ah i didnt think to check the Southgate site.

I got my number from the unofficial holden commodore archive, but I guess it was wrong.

215,000 it is then....so that brings it back to 293,000?

Thanks Adam, Very helpful. That put the start serial number for the VN at around 293,439 less what ever the number produced after my 91 VN built on the 28/05/91. If they made around 5000 a month that would put the first at the 278,500 mark! And that would put my 88 VN wagon in the first 30,000 made.

Ummm isnt that backwards? Its 293,439 PLUS what ever the number produced after your 91 VN on the 28/05/91

 

[88GreenVN]

Dislexic me!! The s/n must start around the 293439 + what was made after the 28 May 91 (508619). When did the VP start production?

 

[88GreenVN]

That also puts the 88 Wagon in the first 13,000 VN's produced! AND the 91 V8 in the last 13,000 produced.

I'll have to check mine tomorrow when I can actually see outside, but since it was 'built' 26th AUGUST 1988 (keep in mind they were released in September), it should be nice and low. AND it's a factory manual!

 

[88GreenVN]

Look forward to your S/N - May make the picture a little clearer. The Wagon I have was a exec 5 speed. Now Calais auto (new loom with electric windows mirrors and dash).
