    It is a VN SV3800. I copied the following text off another forum:

    From the HSV website:

    HISTORY: 491built

    The model was discontinued on 30th May, 1990.

    BUILD: HSV Dealer Model

    PRICE ON RELEASE: $39,000

    WHEELS: HSV cast alloy by ROH, 16 x 7.05

    ENGINE: V6 - 132kw/292Nm

    CAPACITY: 3791cc

    This model was the first VN by HSV and is based on the Berlina.

    It was produced before the re-release of the VN V8 series. As this is the first ongoing production model by HSV based on the VN, the SV3800 received it's name from the size of the engine as opposed to the year of it's release.

    The SV3800 continues the luxurious characteristics of the SV88 and was originally finished on Dorward Blue (named after Ian Dorward who was a Walkinshaw staff member).

    Early models were equipped with the black four spoke Calais steering wheel until February 1989.

    After this time the more sensual SV Momo steering wheel gained ADR approval.

    The clock in the standard VN Commodore was displayed in the stereo system. In the HSV version, a separate clock was added to the top of the console which is separate from the stereo.

    It was the only model by HSV with this feature.
