1986 Holden VL Commodore
A first-generation VL Commodore sedan finished in Cream, showing an indicated 244,962 km and powered by the Nissan-sourced 3.0-litre RB30E inline-six paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission.
This example features the naturally aspirated RB30E engine — known for smooth operation and strong reliability — driving the rear wheels, with seating for five occupants. Presented in largely original condition and finished in its Cream exterior colour.
Holden VL Commodore Model History
Released in 1986, the VL marked a major engineering shift for Holden, introducing the Nissan RB-series engine to replace the older Holden six. The lightweight, overhead-cam RB30E became a standout feature, offering improved power, refinement and fuel efficiency. The VL also adopted sleeker styling with aerodynamic bumpers and redesigned lighting, helping modernise the Commodore line. Today, VL models — especially those retaining their RB engine — are increasingly sought after among enthusiasts, recognised as a pivotal transition point in Australian performance and family-car culture.
