Description

Additional Features :

4 Door

This vehicle is a 1987 Holden VL Calais fitted with Walkinshaw-style bodywork and styling. It has been built as a replica to capture the iconic Walkinshaw appearance while retaining the comfort and usability of the Calais platform. The styling, stance, and presentation deliver the unmistakable Walkinshaw look, without the price tag.

This example has been enthusiast owned and carefully maintained, with significant investment and documentation supporting the work completed. The engine was professionally rebuilt in 2012 at 139,000km, along with a rebuilt transmission, upgraded induction and exhaust, and a retrimmed leather interior. Modern audio, security upgrades, and tasteful wheels complete a well-sorted VL Calais Walkinshaw replica that has clearly been looked after. Vehicles of this quality and presentation are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
