WP_20150919_001_zpsgxthvluu.jpg

its a light powder blue with beige interior. its really a 2000's equivalent of a marina. cheap basic and devoid of any charm. like a fridge.

WP_20150919_003_zpsozan7wut.jpg

grey dash with beige seats. i reckon ching-pao and his mates in korea had a bit of a nanna nap when this one rolled out....

WP_20150918_004_zpsbvv6exsz.jpg

2 hrs later the subframe and box are out. this thing has a pull clutch, so certin care needs to be taken, such as undoing the clutch lever on top of the box and rebuilding it a certain way...

Nice variety but that corolla van looks exactly the same as the Datsun sunny van.

More like a senator than a carlton - I take it there is a six pot under the bonnet?

That looks terminally grim. How much would be the postage to England, please?

they run a buick 3.8 v6, which eats cam bearings. or a holden 5.0 v8. which looks like a chinese copy of a chev 350. with the good stuff left out. they also too  lessons from bl, because from 69 to 1998 they  used the same engine. ive owned twop and franly how the europeans didnt invade the aus market in the 80s and decimate it ill never know.

 

junkman, postage is around 1200 ro-ro, or im sure bollox could a frame it.  :)

I recall seeing a bottle green VN Calais for sale at a used car place in Deal in the late 1990s. It was blithely advertised as being the Australian version of the Vauxhall Senator.

 

I wonder if the person who bought it knew what they were getting themselves into. They must have liked it as I subsequently saw it pottering around the town from time to time for a couple of years afterwards.

I drove a 5.0 calais ( later shape, more like an omega ) when I was in oz

 

Was so dissapointed, virtually no v8 noise and strangled performance

 

The 4.0 ford falcon was even worse

 

Leaf springs too!

Posted

Ah but the Australians use lower octane petrol which accounts for some of it.

 

The 3.6V6 Commodore I rented in 2006 (the last of the Omega-type line rather than the first of the current generation) felt a lot less sprightly than the 3-litre Omega I bought when I returned to the UK.
