Covers off the basics of the VN Commodore and overview of some of the models including the VG ute and some HSV models. Doesn’t include the VQ Statesman.
I knew 2 families had SV 5000, another person who had gold edition but could been VP at the time a lot old generation had these Commodores. My favourite n have original poster is VN SS Group A, always wanted one that i even built one out of balsa wood in Grade 6 92
I was lucky to meet a bloke who had two rare VN Calais wagons, I tried to purchase one of them, but he wasn’t going to sell. Both were v6 models, but still rare , I haven’t seen any others. Mouse
Thanks buddy, I have done a VR one and will be doing VS someday soon hopefully, I will make sure I put the ute in that one 🙂, the utes look tops that’s for sure !
Essentially 55mm wider than Vb-L. I remember driving a VN when they were first released in 88 and couldn't believe how quick it was. I didn't care about the V6's harshness rather it's performance. An ea foulcan didn't see which way it went.
Amazing that 55mm was a make and break for size, totally agree the V6 was such a quick everyday car for it’s time, I loved the performance. A VN V6 would out run the previous VL V8 model, don’t think there would be any other model that the base motor in an all new model would be faster than the previous superseded V8, unheard of!
I remember when this travesty came out. Narrow track,abysmal quality, horrid motor. We had some of these on fleet where I worked, and whenever I had to run errands I would drive anything else. After owning many Holdens over the years this is the one that made me turn my back and buy something else. Final nail in the coffin was the race fans’ reaction to Nissan’s victory at Mt Panorama in 1992…Skyline all the way after that…
