Factory Specifications
VK SL Group A
___________________
The VK SL Group A as opposed to the Formula Blue Only SS Group A, was actually built in four colours being, Alpine White, Red, Asteroid Silver and Waltons Blue (a shade noticeably darker than the Formula equivalent). Only Around 150 versions were built and featured SL trim as standard although the Scheel seats and Group A boot lid spoiler were offered as factory options. Black chrome strips were also not prevalent items, the cars being fitted with the standard SL chromed items instead.
Of note with these cars is the fact that the Scheel seets were optional, versus standard fitment on the SS Group A and were trimmed in SL trim as shown above.
The 4.9 litre V8 engine featured a new cam shaft jointly developed with HDT and Crane in the US and also featured a Crane adjustable Roller Rockers and hardened push rods. To identify this particular engine, it was painted in red colour.
