I have heard of the LE before, but never the SV LE.
From memory the LE was pretty much the same spec level as a Berlina. Had some extra fancy stripes down the side, with a few extra badges. As well as the climate control and I think the seats from the Calais. I'm not sure about the instrument cluster though.
I have seen one regularly down around the Rosebud area in Melbourne, but that doesn't help you much. Sorry that I couldn't be more helpful on this one. |

| What i know at the moment is that there were 110 made this one is number 69, all badges are authentic, it is a V8, it is a 91 model, only 20 made it out of the factory with a sunroof(this is one of those), It has velour door trims and the seats i am not sure what they are, they look alot like the SS Grp A's but they have SV stitched into them.What I have heard is they are a step below the VN SS Group A. I am looking at buying it at the moment and am just after a general price range. |

I've seen a SV commodore and it's the same with a LE commodore but I dont recall a SVLE before.
If my shocking memory serves me correctly I think the SV's were either red or green in color and called the SV91....limited edition VP from HSV I think....or maybe I'm way off the mark
The LE was like the Vacationer of the commodore range, color coded bumbers etc etc.
Redbook says SV91 $7,500 - $10,000 private sale while the LE comes in between $1300 and $3000 Both 91 models.
Still not sure about the SVLE tag though |

I've done a little bit of research into the LE for my website but was fairly unlucky when it came to actually finding anything.
From what I did find- there were 110 VN LEs offered as part of a Sydney Motor Show special deal in 1989. They were available optioned with either a V6 or a V8 and although I found no evidence, I'd imagine that it fits in somewhere between the Exec and Berlina- but don't take that as gospel as it is only a bit of a stab in the dark. I guess the main selling point at the time was the fact it was a limited run.
As far as the SV LE goes- thats a new one on me. Are you sure you are not confusing it was a HSV LS? They were offered in 1991 and sounds like the most likely candidate (but there were 300 of them... not 110).
Got pics?

Crazy suggestion, but is it worth getting in touch with Holden and/or HSV.? Give them the VIN and engine numbers and find out a bit more about its history.
If it's a 'limited' run vehicle, they'll be able to tell you if it's a genuine or if it's just a mock-up. |

Best suggestion here- and when you get a reply make sure you post it so that we are all that little bit wiser!
HDT definately keep records so I could only assume that HSV will be able to tell you what you've got. |

| If you get the right contact at Holden they can tell you where the VIN 'went' (I traced mine as an ex-demo one from pre-release). They can tell if it went to HDT/HSV/CSV... |

| Going a bit OT now but did CSV have much to do with the VN? I thought they came into it a bit later down the track? |

CSV did some work on the VN's I've seen more than one CSV VN around the place. The only way to know if the car is legit is to call around. If you're lucky you'll also find the complete history of the vehicle, from who first purchased it, to who it belongs to now.
Worth doing if you're serious about the vehicle and you think that it might be a 'unique' one. |

| I have recieved information from HSV about this model car. It is in PDF format so if anyone is interested on learning a little about the SV LE history feel free to ask and I can send it to you via email unless someone can tell me how to post this on the site. |

Here is a picture of a VN SV LE minus the original mags which are the same as the Walkinshaw mags except red(plus the one i am looking at is one of the factory 20 that came with a sunroof).

Normally I'm not a fan of spoilers, but that's kinda cute.
Not a huge fan of the rear bumper though, looks like the junk that's on a whole lotta little rice-burners now. The lights in the front bumper are nice too. |
