I dont think that number plate is anything special to be honest. I thought it was just a standard one. Anyway... that car looks shockin' and its enough for me to call it ricey. But thats just me.

How embarresing. All that money and no manuel. How very very embarressing. Especially that rear wing. I shake my head in shame, I think The Fast and the Furious has done alot to wreck the motoring world.

Well at least it means alot of cheap tacky cars on resale. Probably cheaper than what the parts are worth, so I guess alot of wrecking is going to happen.

No climate control is an easy one, the early VN calais didnt come with it standard, that could explain it, window winders, hmm, im thinking a conversion to calais. But my god, that is shocking, i would pay myself out for driving that

i was going to say that but i couldnt have been sure.... i thought it was an inclusion on statesmans and first apeared in the SWB cars on Vp calais.


power windows may have been optional like they were on EB Fairmonts......

too long ago though lol

Gee, you're all a bit harsh. Take the rear wing off, and it's not a bad looking car. Dare I say better than most EAs? Still only worth about $4k though, at most, and would be a good first car for a P plater.

Maybe, depending on personal taste, but my comparison was of a car from the same era. As far as VNs go, it's straight and got good paint - most are dented and have faded paint, so it's actually in good nick for an 18 year old car.

Would be alright, if it had a V8. Still a VN though.

I think the "Pink Bits" VN, is worse. IMO

Why bag this guy out for his choice in paint colour. And whats so bad about the headliner??? I'm sure if that was done on a front page feature car in street machine you wouldn't bag it! But then again, if it was a ford emblem in a ford, you wouldn't bag that either!
