- VL V8 COMMODORE 1988 MODEL
(Information taken from Magazine – Holden in Australia –Feb/08 – Brock Commodores)
A new homologated Holden was produced to comply with FISA (the world governing body of Motor sport) as the standard car on which Holden’s Group A racing car could be based. 500 examples were built and sold for racing purposes.
As well as these 500 Group A Commodores fitted with homologated engines, another 500 were required to be built and sold in other model Commodores to satisfy the FISA 1000-cars-sold rule.
So Commodores and Calais were fitted with these engines and their owners didn’t even know it!
Can anyone shed some light on this please? Are there any identifying marks etc, to establish the above? – eg: engine numbers etc.?
