Dealer Comments

SILVER ICE VS II BERLINA — HOLDEN EXECUTIVE-OWNED FROM NEW, COMPLETELY STOCK STANDARD SURVIVOR, JUST 18,145 KILOMETRES. A CAR THAT SIMPLY CANNOT BE RECREATED.

This is the sort of Holden that almost never exists anymore. A 1997 VS Series II Berlina with just 18,145 kilometres from new, owned from new by a Holden executive and preserved in completely stock-standard condition.

Forget modified, restored or heavily refreshed examples — this is a genuine survivor. The factory wheels, ride height, trim, interior and overall specification remain exactly as this generation of Commodore was meant to be seen. Nearly 30 years later, finding any VS with kilometres this low is extraordinary; finding a Berlina with this provenance and originality is another level entirely.

What makes this car so special is that it cannot simply be recreated. You can restore a VS, repaint one, retrim one or rebuild one. What you cannot manufacture is 18,145 genuine kilometres, long-term provenance from a Holden executive and decades of preservation in original specification.

The cabin, plastics, switchgear, wheels and trim all reflect just how little use this car has had, while the overall presentation remains remarkably original. Even the period details — genuine mudflaps, weather shields, factory wheel finish and untouched specification — are exactly what make survivor cars like this so compelling.

This is the kind of car you either leave exactly as it is and preserve, or use as an unbelievably original foundation if you had something very specific in mind. Either way, the appeal is the same — you are starting with a VS that has simply not lived the life most of them have.

Once this car is sold, replacing it is impossible. There may be other VS Berlinas, but another one with 18,145 kilometres, this ownership history, this originality and this level of preservation is not something you can expect to find twice.
