just wondering if anyone can tell me how common it is to see the 1994 falcon waggon thats are svo model with the logo and red trim.ive looked on trade me and none to be found,ive google to with no luck.cheers
The ones sold here IIRC were modified locally by one of the Auckland dealerships, whether this was done inhouse from parts sourced themselves or from a complete SVO kit supplied from Australia I don't know. They were available at various times throughout the E series run. Rare? Too right they are.

Well with no more Aussie V8s soon, those can only go up in value. Probably a $100K in 20 years.

S.A.M. Ford (South Auckland Motors) used to have quite of this sort in their new car line up, from mid 1980's on.

Are you sure someone hasn't just put some SVO stickers on it?.
So very much a mix and match selection of upgrades and not a complete package as such. Is this (presumably ED) wagon a 4 or 5 litre engined one? I was well aware that an EA SVO was available in NZ but of course there were no factory V8 EA's, an EB1 onwards version could well have been offered as a V8.

Quite often car makers would throw together a car of bits and pieces that they have laying around and call it by a fancy name. Pretty sure AC is standard anyway. Been a SVO shouldn't it be a least a V8.

Looks like Ghia's,S Packs Fairlanes and utes were officially done but could be others done by Dealers
Trouble selling a vehicle is having absolute proof it's a SVO for the buyer
What's on the Rego sticker or on Carjam?,if it was sold new here as a SVO it maybe be listed on the Rego sticker

That would depend on what the base vehicle was, Fairmont Ghia upwards would have climate control but an S pack or ute would not have AC unless it was ordered that way or it was a dealer fitted accessory.

My understanding is that SVO (standing for Special Vehicle Operations) were not factory vehicles but was just a kit produced by Webb Brothers in Australia and added to Falcons and Fairmonts by Lyon Ford Takapuna and was available through all Ford dealers.
SVO body styling and handling kit features different front grille with SVO square badge in the centre. Rear spoiler fitted to boot lid, two-tone backed body colour scheme. Alloy wheels, SVO badge on front fenders. Interior features Momo steering wheel, leather gear knob and SVO badge on dash.Different performance oriented dampers, spring rates and stabiliser bars.Performance kit features free breathing exhaust system, revised advance curve and 3.23 diff ratio.
The kit was introduced in June 1989, and added $9k to base Falcon and Fairmont prices. By 1991 all the SVO bits were available and priced separately. The SVO kit was discontinued in 1992.
Nope, unless it's an XY, maybe an XA, B or C. don't want it in my driveway thanks
