Default VE Panelvan leaked

Quote:
On top of the recent 220m investment from the government to continue local production of the commodore, Go Auto can reveal that Holden have been secretly working on a commercial VE. Mike Devereaux is claimed to be the originator of the idea, believing that its a market that the Holden can tap into, increasing their already high sales.


No word on a release date yet, or if it will come out as part of the VF roll-out.

The factory sandman kits for the 03-04 ute series have had a number of structural failures due to cracking along the 'reinforcing spars'.

More often than not they were simply binned, as holden never carried spare canopies.

They were also a hideously expensive option too 12k fitted and trimmed to match the vehicle.

Two of mates had them, and they both had issues with holden support for the terrible fitout.
