EA SVO's

Postby Parfrey » July 16th, 2010, 11:38 pm

What are peoples thoughts on these things? What sort of price are they going for?

Do you think they will be worth much/desirable in the future, seeing as they weren't a 'factory' built car? i might be able to get one at an ok price but i think it'll need alot of work.. not sure if it'd be worth it? i have always liked them though.. :cool:

i own one. very good looking car. i picked mine up for very cheap. had to replace the steering wheel, cluster (as it didn't work) and get a minor "respray". looks good now though

i'm not sure if they'll be desirable. but i don't care. i bought it because it looks good in my eyes
mine is a Fairmont Ghia base. they made 2 SVO bases. S-pac and Fairmont Ghia. they only made 1200 of them too. mine is number 554 of 1200

They will hold value a little bit more than your average E-Series, not to the extent of Sprints or GT's etc though.

Very nice car when fully optioned with the Recaro's etc though :)

Id kill for one, or at least the bits to make the wagon look like an SVO!

being a wagon you couldn't put the ducktail spoiler one, unless you modded one.
my bro has and SVO grill, and a mate has a full set of SVO rims

Had opportunities to buy a couple here and there over the years but they've all been too shagged to bother with.

There's a really nice red one that lives off Hull Road in Moooroolbark with plates SVO012 I think. It looks good on the outside, but I haven't seen it inside yet.

They were pretty good packages as a Series 2 with ALL the SVO options, but if they didn't have the good shit they weren't worth it.

yeah i guess they will be worth more and be a bit more desirable than most EA's but not as much as a sprint or gt would be.
i'll have to check it out, its white/grey and i think its only got the momo wheel/exhaust/wheels/badges so no recaro's :(
could always put them in later tho?

I actually towed that red SVO Sunny, a young chick drives it. You can tell it's had many owners over the years, outside doesn't look to bad bu engine bay is another story.
