They were a dealer marketing group dress-up kit based on a VS V8 executive.
They wore walkinshaw rims, and had the SS lower skirt kit fitted, and painted silver, as well as badging/decals.
Cheers,
Mick

Mark is wrong.
They were really based on a calais. They had trim that was similar to the VS HSV MANTA. No skirts. They were all black with a small amount of silver along the bottom. They had a calais front bar with driving lights. Badging was on the back

Don't think so.
They are definately a K trim code, which is an Exec base. The Calais wears an X trim code.
Just because it may have tizzied up trim & foglights (although I have pics of one with no foglights) doesn't mean they are calais based.

I just want to know who Mark is and why is he wrong? And what is wrong with Walkinshaw rims,imo they were one of the best fitted to any commodore.

I own one of these cars - have had it since new. Holden by Design made these vehicles (the Glasses Guide says 120 but there was only 92 manufactured) for Melbourne dealers only and they were a promotional car to celebrate 25 years of the Torana SLR 5000.
