HZ donor car

I saw a green one once, with the green/charcoal combo on the wheels and it was bloody awful. I remember thinking "what sort of idiot would do that?" and found out later it was GMH.

...and found out later it was GMH.

Yeah, I have seen them in yellow and also light blue. Not to my liking, that's for sure.

The wheels worked for the SLE Commodore at the time , but not the Statesman , it was a bit of a spare parts car , like the LE Monaro but at what the Monaro's are worth now.. I liked the SLE Statesman , but have to agree about the wheels , then again if you want it original !!!

I rather liked the SL/E Statesman grill with the larger box look, although it would have been nicer with stainless surround.
Hated the alloy rims with a passion. Nothing uglier every made. More Gemini, UC Sunturd, Commodore influence. YUK!

I agree...those grilles look cool!!

I see this SL/E at a few car shows in Vic and the grille is what sets it apart and makes the whole package look great .... especially with the over riders on the front bar



And lets not discuss those alloys ever again....major fail GMH

Not sure what you mean by LE and SL/E being spare parts cars? Both of them especially the LE have maybe the most unique parts or features of any car in their respective series? The rest of the cars simply use bits pulled from the options lists.

They are an affective look, but look very cheap when up close as the chromed plastic is obvious. HX Statesman grille is classier, whether it be in HX or HZ paint. SL/E do have nice interior and some pretty cool paint though. The HZ SL/E is more of an LE (as in limited edition) than it is the luxury Statesman as that was the Caprice's job. It truly was simply a limited edition Statesman.
