This VH-generation Holden Commodore SL/X is a stylish four-door Australian-market saloon, finished in an all-blue colour scheme. It is powered by a 3.3-litre inline-six, driving the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. This Commodore SL/X has had just two owners from new, remaining with its original keeper until around September 2024. The seller states that it has always been garage-stored whenever not in use, and serviced regularly. They purchased the vehicle with the intention of carrying out an LS1 engine swap, but have chosen not to proceed. The odometer displays 163,663 kilometres. The car is finished in Tiffany Blue over a co-ordinating blue cloth-trimmed cabin. It rides on a set of 15-inch five-spoke ‘Delta’ alloy wheels, fitted with Michelin tyres. The seller will also include a brand-new set of replica VH Walkinshaw 18-inch wheels, which cost around $1500. Equipment includes a rear spoiler, a high brake light, power steering, air conditioning, and a Clarion radio-cassette player. Accompanying the sale is the owner’s book pack, service book, original order form, various maintenance invoices, spare wheel, the original radio, and a few spare rear lights and covers and guards. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: “It drives well, very tight and with no rattles. There are two tiny rust spots under the windscreen and a slight rip on the driver’s seat on the vinyl beading. It is very hard to find a VH in this condition, and was purchased after about a year of looking for one, and I subsequently spent approximately $7,000 replacing old parts”.
