VL Walkinshaw naked?

My understanding on the matter is that several buyers wanted the performance but with out the flares etc and optioned the car as such. It was common with the old HDT cars too at the time - especially the VK Directors and VH/VC cars. The VK/VL HDT's had very few options (wheel color was one that I know of on the VK GPA).

Also to add to that, back in the day you could order just about any configuration of available options. Maybe dealers ordered the cars minus the kit but didn't actually sell them as a Walky.

I should add that they all had the bonnet monstrosity due to the ttb manifold.

really if you can find that issue and post some more info that'd be great man, my Dad has a few but not many 'older' issue's i'll check them soon

Its one of the early issues, like number 1 or 3 or something.

I'll have a look when I get home.

its true. some were sold without parts of the body kit.

Its in Issue 1 of AMC, pages 40 - 46.

Don't have a scanner on me but I quote Joe Kenwright:

"The lower section of the aero kit was supplied in boxes as they contravened minimum ground clearance requirements for registration".

"There were a handful of official Group A sleepers featuring stock VL Calais exteriors and selected Group A body parts over full-house Group A mechanicals"

As above, there still a genuine VL Group A SS, when they were new they got the bodykit in boxes (some even have the WHOLE kit in boxes,and had Calais door moulds).

All 500 of the first batch were identical tho (as per group A rules), the last 250 they could do what they wanted with them.

As was said tho, you wouldn't buy one in this form, most people buy a walky to have a walky.....
