What may be one of the cleanest examples of Holden\u2019s second-generation Commodore series is up for sale, with a VS Berlina commanding a premium for its hard-to-find condition.<\/p>\n

Listed by The Motor Gallery<\/a> in Victoria, this Holden Commodore Berlina is a VS II example, and has completed just 18,145km since leaving the factory in Elizabeth, South Australia in June 1997.<\/p>\n

In total, Holden built 277,774 examples of the VS from 1995 to 1997, marking the final update to the second-generation Commodore platform since it was introduced as the VN in 1988.<\/p>\n

The VS was replaced by the VT, a totally different generation of Commodore which introduced a new era of design, leaving the VS as the last hangover of the 1980s platform it was based on.<\/p>\n

According to the listing, this Berlina has been owned since new by a former Holden executive, and has not been modified outside of its period-correct weather shields and front nudge bar.<\/p>\n

Powered by a Buick-based 3.8-litre \u2018Ecotec\u2019 V6 engine, the VS produced 147kW and 304Nm, though the Berlina was also available with Holden\u2019s more potent 5.0-litre V8 engine, however these examples are even harder to come by.<\/p>\n

Finished in Silver Ice MkII, this Berlina was priced from $39,020 in 1997, equivalent to more than $85,000 today.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Currently listed at $29,990, it\u2019s undoubtedly one of the most expensive unmodified and non-HSV Commodores of its time, though it presents as a time capsule unlikely to be replicated again.<\/p>\n
