The A9Q = Dealer Marketing Group May 88 - so yep looks like the real deal going by the build plate.

198? Opera House Edition VL would not be on many peoples list of fakers to build so I think your safe in claiming the real deal.

Your title is misleading mate, i was expecting a limited edition v8 badge with a big black woman with an affro in the middle.

I know Oprah has her fingers in a lot of pies but surely not HOLDEN!
