Looking at the pics I don't think its series 5 VS as such. It looks to be a special order arranged through the dealer. There was a bloke on here who IIRC has a dealer pack HSV Stato, similar thing to yours has a different dash emblem.

It's the Opera House Series of Holdens. There was an Opera house release back in VL so obviously there are a few other releases after that and VS was Series 5 in the sequence.
Hope this gives a bit more light on this topic.
One thing I can't get my head around is Power Windows on the Passenger side only and not the drivers ?????, sure that this isn't just a tight wad way of not fixing an electric window and retro fitting a manual winder back in place ?
Check the following thread out !

BTW VP was Series IV (4) of the instalment.

The various codes mention NMG = NSW DMG CAR. (NSW dealer managed CAR ?)
The Opera House outline badge could mean a Sydney metro dealer, but I doubt whether any dealer would have current staff with memories that long.
(I replied the same time as vs lover, his explanation is better)

Hi FJ,
I fell across this site some years ago and have it bookmarked on my PC. The link that I put up in the other thread from which you've copied it from still works as it should.
Certainly understand you still having the build plates from your HJ as I found my lovely Kimberly Bronze 87 VL Berlina that got smacked up the a#@s by of all things a Toyota Yaris and wrote it off while it was in the hands of a subsequent owner after me in U-Pull-it. It made me cry on the spot as I wished I hadn't sold the thing. I removed it's build plates and a few other mementos from it and have the plates in with it's original books which I never let go when I sold her.
