I have two wb bodies one on its original chassis but cracked badly , the other on a hz chassis so must have been cracked bad also but it's been wrecked with a sunroof and the fuel has been 180'ed to the inside of tray ! But my other question to hk is my 06 ve ss has been built at the hsv factory as I wanted a sunroof , pedal change, stripes ,leather wheel and shifter in red and black( same as outside) it has the hsvi plate on it so what have I got if not a Holden ? You are the guru but I've got a bit of both .

Do you mean HBD or HSV? The car is branded a Holden and had 3rd party work done to it, same as A9X's. It is still a Holden branded car.

So what are all the imported cars Holden are going to be selling in the future? If HSV is not Holden then none of their imports are either?

Why will the imports not be a Holden? They are now, they are branded as a Holden vehicle. A Holden Colorado is a Holden, doesn't matter where they came from. Unlike the Chevrolet cars and trucks and Bedfords which are not total imports, many were assembled here some with GMH engines and transmissions, but they are not a Holden as they are branded otherwise.

Yep ordered it in Dubbo when they first came out with sunroof , stripes 20" super sports DVD leather hsv wheel and shift knob got it three months later they said it had to go down hsv line cause it had a sunroof and they got all of the first order with the sunroof , but yes it has an extra tag with hsvi and the option codes

HSVi is the newer name/or take over of HBD (Holden By Design). They are production Holden's that get "touched" by HSV. Based on Byron's theory there not Holden's or HSV's.

Hey Byron or Dr Terry and all other gurus what do you guys think about my VH SL/E top 30?? I know its a bit hard as its so rare really and its an unknown commodity.... But My Torana is almost on the road and i still have the HZ sandy, but ive also just scored a 1970 ford capri V6 Gt and another for spares. (yep crossed to the dark side) Cos the mrs has always wanted one...

So just askin as Im now running out of shed space and Im thinkin I should stop putting Ks on the VH so im thinking of getting a sensible daily and selling the commy. Not sure if I want to yet cos I do really love driving it as it goes like the clappers, but do you think its something that will become quite valuable down the track with Holden moving offshore? Its a bit of a rare beast so im in two minds. Could i live with myself if i sell the VH to do up a ford!

I've heard of those SL/E's but never paid much attention to them. No idea if it is worth keeping or not, but if it is an L31 car it'd be worth keeping if you can afford the space and to maintain it.

I used to own one of those VH Top 30 SL/Es, it was the Tony Packard one from memory. Basically a special build VH SL/E, fully optioned with a Shadowtone-like paint scheme & a Brock Group 3 engine. As always I now regret selling it !

V6 GT Capri would have to be getting pretty rare these days, nice score.
