1985 Holden VK Calais Director
A 1985 Holden VK Calais Director four-door sedan finished in Palais White. Rear-wheel drive configuration powered by a 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission and limited-slip differential. Odometer indicating 402,630 kilometres. Seating for five occupants. Built August 1985.
Description / Overview:
The VK Calais Director was the flagship of the VK range, adding the full digital instrumentation suite, leather trim, power windows and cruise control over the standard Commodore. This example carries all of those factory features and they are all functioning - the digital dash lights up correctly, power windows work, and the car runs and drives.
At 402,630 kilometres the odometer tells you this car has been used. The body presents well with the V8 under the bonnet and the brown leather interior still holding together. Front seats are fitted with sheepskin covers - condition beneath not assessed. Some surface rust is visible in the engine bay inner guards and beginning at one rear door jamb, which is typical for a VK of this age and mileage and should be inspected carefully. Buyers are strongly recommended to carry out a hoist inspection to assess chassis and sill condition before bidding.
This is a driver and restorer's car rather than a concours show piece. The specification is correct and genuine Calais Director throughout. An owner's handbook is present. For a buyer looking for an affordable entry into V8 VK Calais ownership, this is worth looking at - just go in with eyes open on the mileage and check underneath.
