I like that better than mine as it is an Auto and that is right for such a car, plus leather and air con which I don't have.

There was one of those monaro's in red, in a village not far from me.

Nice car, until it wasn't, pretty major nsf damage, sat for a couple of weeks on the drive, and then vanished.

Shame 😕

I pass a red one just up the road from Milbrook test track.  Been there a while now, looks pretty spotless.

Just to chip in here, if anyone wants to refit the timing belt, engine mount, plugs and inlet manifold……feel free!

 

if not, I need to do it within the next two weeks before it gets super cold.

 

also, it’s stopping ne from fixing the car k want to fix, that 1800cc carlton

A couple of press photos I have recently acquired:

The XY brochure is going to a friend in Australia who owns an XY. I am keeping the XA brochure.

Neither registration is recognised on the DVLA website when searched.

Cant say I’m a fan of the steering wheel or seats!

Still, at least it hasn’t been smashed to bits.

That’s standard fitment.

The wheel itself is fine, but why paint the lower bit red!? 
Colour coded to the seats I suppose, but it doesn’t look great imho. That one in your photo looks lovely though, I really don’t know why people feel the need to change it.

It’s the same with wheels on US/OZ cars. The factory fitted wheels and trims look brilliant and yet for some reason people always take them off and fit gigantic ugly modern wheels instead.
