3. commodore VN GTS 3.8 V6 navy blue or vivid white, had electric windows ss interior, vn ss body kit with different spoiler, facory color coded alloys with machined lip, gts badges etc, only 500 avaliable in nz i believe, if you search commodore gts on trademe you will probably find a few for sale,

4.commodore VP GTS 3.8 V6 but not an hsv version, these vps are usually maroon in colour have an ss kit electrics ss interior etc, i believe only 50 avaliable in nz? very rare gts

6.Holden VL royale, basically a vl calais without pop up headlights,

7. holden VN royale, a very rare vn made mostlyt for the singapore market i believe, these were a vn calais bases car except for a 2.0 4 cyl vectra engine,

8.holden berlina vn, wagon and sedan, over here in nz these were only avaliable in 2.0 4 cyl. and were the aussie executive spec in trim and interior, and all our executives were aussie spec berlinas, weird eh! you can check this out on whikipedia has heaps about weird nz holdens,

9. holden calais VP 2.6 opel dual ram straight six

10, Vr/S commodore royale, basically a calais with the front end of a statesman caprice (grill bumper lights etc) and the 2.6 opel dual ram straight six,

11. VT/X commodore royale this was the last commodore to be badged as a royale basically an aussie calais with a name change,

12. VB/vh/vc/vk 1.9 4 cyl starfire, i had one of these and these engines are just **** i must say,

13.holden VL commodore RB20 2.0 nissan straight six

14.VN Commodore LS HSV, 3.8 v6 sedan and s/wagon i dont know if these were avaliable in aus or not it was a genuine HSV limited edition, numbered dash badges, usually blue over silver, with a unusual lip boot spoiler, side skirts, slot grill front spoiler and hsv interior, all electric winows etc, was a genuine HSV

Some of the VY Monaro's had a Super6 in them, being the V2 Series.

Interesting the UC had Starfires then they skipped VB but decided to fit the 4cyl again in the VC right up to some VK.

The 1.9 Ltr VC Commodore was a Lemon, look exactly like a Blue Six Cylinders with the back 2 cylinder guillotined off.
That's when they had more Blue Motors 6's and 8's, and then the Black Motors, and the VK's were Holdens first injected motor, and to how it has evolved to the V6's we have today.
And I must say the VT, VX & VY models would have to be one of the reliable cars that were around, and as you know, there is a lot still on the road today.

@SL/ENUT, I see you have a VC SL/E,
I had a VC SL/E, As they were always an Auto, but swapped it to a Manual, OEM Aussie 4 Speed, donor car was a VC SL at a Wreckers,
and did it professionally with the manual floor cover and leather boot shift boot,
When I sold it, In stead of people trying to low ball me, they ended up bidding for it, and got about a $1000 more then I was asking.
It was so weird. but it was as great car.
