| Introduced as a limited edition
special value pack to help combat the just released VT Commodore, the EL Sapphire
provided an especially valuable option pack to new vehicle buyers. Yet it's
actual specification differed as to whether you were buying a GLi or Futura as
the base vehicle - for details see below. Unfortunately it also featured
the worst looking - hubcap imitation - alloy wheels I have seen in a long while!
With many hubcaps managing to look better than these, about their only advantage
was that they didn't fall off! (But then again - maybe that would be a good thing...)
At least it didn't cost you any more than a standard GLi or Futura, and
added $3800 of usable extras into the equation making it particularly good value
even second hand. |
