- The body kit was based closely on that fitted to the VN Commodore SS Group A SV This included the front and rear bumpers, forward front wheel arch trim and side skirts. The front grille and boot spoiler were the same as fitted to the HSV Senator 5000i.[6]
- 17 X 8 inch 5-spoke ROH alloy wheels were fitted, originally wrapped in 235/45 ZR17 Pirelli P-Zero tyres. These wheels were shared with the VP Senator model.[7] The casting marks on the rims were as follows:
- PN 10B-251903
- ROH
- "Holden Special Vehicle" and "made in Australia" stamped on the back of the rim
- The centre caps on the GTS did not have the twin red lines running around the outside of the HSV logo (as applied to earlier Senator and Clubsport wheels prior to September 1992). Instead, the later style badge without the rings was applied, as shown in the images.[8]
- Unique GTS decals were applied to the passenger side of the bonnet, along the front and rear doors and the right hand side of the rear bumper.
- The HSV premium brake package that came standard on the GTS featured 327mm rotors with corvette C4 callipers. Rear brakes were 280mm ventilated discs.
- Body coloured side mirrors, black plastic side door handles.
- HSV badge on top left hand side of boot.
- HSV emblem badge with reflective chrome on a grey brackground was applied to the centre of the front bonnet above the grille.[9]
- Berlina spec tail lamps were applied. These had black pin-stripes applied to the full-width epilique and tail lamp lenses, and were slightly darker than the standard Commodore lens.
- Twin chrome exhaust tip.

Very rare and the first one on Classic Register - this would be one of just a few in Australia I'm sure. This is the X70 Toyota MKII - a luxury full size JDM sedan. This one was advertised on Facebook Marketplace in November 2022, asking just $5,000 AUD - but importantly it does not have its engine fitted. Still looks pretty good for that price for a very rare car.
The seller at the time noted it was fully complied for Australia, and had previously been registered in NSW. The exterior overall was described as pretty decent with straight panels . It does have some rust around the boot seal/scuttle panel areas and other small spots around the car. The interior overall is in very good condition. The motor had the head removed and was left open so the engine was not salvageable. However, the car comes with a rebuilt 1ge ready to put in.
