My Monaro VXR...bought on Saturday!

This is my 2004 Monaro 5.7 VXR. and very happy I am too!

Just purchased on Saturday morning. A nice enjoyable drive back home (260 miles) apart from the weather closing in! But it held out till we made it back.

Sadly it has snowed in England recently and rather heavily in my neck of the woods! Braintree in County Essex.

Congrats on your purchase! You need a good cover for her! I know of another UK VXR owner going by the online handle of gsd2000 on another board. I forget exactly where in the UK he is. I'm thinking near Kent.

Thanks buddy, I would buy a cover but the she'll be stored in the garage a majority of the time. Thanks for the other U.K. chaps handle. Kent is the next county down from me.

Congrats! Is it right hand drive? Love to see the interior pics. Bet that is a rare car in England. I spent 2 years there near Ipswitch in the Air Force.

Thanks for your service. I'm currently serving in the army over in Hawaii.

I'd like to see interior pics too! I've always wondered how different it would be to drive a right hand car. Maybe if I ever become famous off my Rockstar dream, I'll get my hands on one of those! Haha

Thank you! Your's too! (I'm rather envious) More pics will follow shortly. Ipswich is the next county up from Essex, I travel there a fair few times to visit friends. The beer is real good in most of the bars too!

Yes, sadly the Monaro didn't sell too well in the U.K. as you can see by the classifieds on one of our main websites for buying used/new performance cars... Vauxhall Monaros for Sale

This was the ad that caught my interest and the car that became mine Vauxhall : Open To Offers, 5.7 VXR Monaro 33000 Miles.
