I looked at this car about 4 years ago when it was in Bristol. It was properly rusty, holes in every panel, bits of guards corroded off. It was too much work for me so I walked!

I must have looked from a way off then, or with rose tints!

Re: VIP VG sedan
about 10 years ago this was VIP steves daily
it was tidy enough and solid enough to take him the 15 or so miles to and from work every day, MOTed and maintained as such
he fixed the steering box replaced wheel studs sorted brakes and did some engine work, it was showing some rust bubbles at the rear arch to boot floor wheel tub seam
he sold it when it became obvious it was going to need more time than he had to spend, given his Monaro and new family members
it seems to have gone through a few different people since, whether they maintained it or not i don't know
nice rare car the rear doors are longer than the 4 door vg the roof profile is different and obviously you get the unique VIP front grill and lights

Re: VIP VG sedan
I think its an HQ or HJ but it might be later with an early front it has the pontiac style bootlid/ rear like a 70 71 GTO
i.e not an HK-HT-HG
had it since he was very young and brought it with him to the UK
he had the VIP because he saw it and it was Australian

I need to see that, I can only remember seeing Barry Dancer's black HQ which was in Harpenden and was up for sale.Dave999 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 21 2:28 pm I think its an HQ or HJ but it might be later with an early front it has the pontiac style bootlid/ rear like a 70 71 GTO
