Looking for a SV88 anywhere in oz for sale
Hi guys, new to this site....I am on a mission to own a SV88. I have just done a full restoration on a 1963 beetle http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/paxto...upe/1038143366
I have just listed it on gumtree. once i sell my beetle i will be on the hunt for one of these gems (SV88) I would love to get one that needs some work to save on the cost / buy price but lets see whats out there. anyone know of any for sale....(apart from the one currently on Gumtree for 35K) Regards Terry Hunter Valley NSW |

Too rare, rarer than an HDT, you need to keep scanning the classifieds for a resto in need of help, even then you would struggle for originality, how would you go restoring a Walky steering wheel in blue?
Good luck finding an SV88 brick phone, gotta love eighties stuff.

I don't like the non original engine bay chrome, recovered black walky wheel, non color coded rims and lack of boot lip, 35K is creeping towards HDT offerings.
Still a nice VL but would be PMing him offers.

Im in no hurry, i would like to find an original one i think. all the points you raised are valid.
If i could find an original one that need's some work or not - to put it back to day one original condition - no try hard alterations ....that's what i'm after |

hi,
long time no post, we might be selling SV88 #30 soon. the only original item missing from the car is the OE boot lid spoiler its got an HDT one instead, other original parts to go with it too such as OE steering wheel and stereo. Has a built 355 with VN heads and TH350 installed, however we still have original motor and trans if you wished to return it to concourse. No hurry to sell at the moment but get in touch if it sounds like a car you might be interested in. Would like it to go to an enthusiast who knows what it is just like my brother has cared for it the last 10+ years. cheers

![]() I'm pretty sure I've seen this a couple of times in the last couple of years. Once around The western suburbs and another when it was going into a public car park in the city. I remember saying to myself, how could you do that lol.

4x SV88's spotted in SA
3x SV88s that I know of in SA. 1st -my uncle in laws SV88 was always at his business ABS brakes, EDWARDSTOWN, SA but got stolen several times and the last time it was burnt out and insurance company sold it at auction in the late 1990's early 2000's. 2nd sv88 was always parked at business on Brodie Road LONSDALE SA, business was an Earth moving or sand and metal business and I heard that he was the owner of the business and the sv88, have not seen the car there since about 2005-2010. 3rd SV88 was at another business - Southern timber supplies at O'sullivan beach road, LONSDALE SA and the business owner was also the owner of the SV88 and he parked it there during the week and on weekends but I have not seen that there since about 2014. A 4th one I had seen in carport of a house in a culdersac road in WOODCROFT SA but it may have been one of the business owners home address as it was local to the southern area of SA and only about 10 minutes from the LONSDALE businesses. I don't know the body number of any of them. I always wanted an SV88 but I purchased a factory tuxedo black V8 VL Calais sedan which is more rarer so I'm not complaining.

One bonus was that on one occasion when the SV88 was stolen and recovered my uncle gave me the rear lip boot spoiler for my Calais as he was getting a replacement one. Its now painted black and on the boot of my VL Calais.
