Full Service History

This Monaro VXR is an early ‘big boot’ 5.7 litre LS1 model and is completely standard. These are quite rare in the UK with only around 60 being brought here. First registered on 25th November 2004, now with 99k miles. I’m reluctantly selling due to a house purchase.

Cosmetically the car is in pretty good condition. The interior has stood up the mileage very well and there are no problems with the interior. Bodywork is good with only a couple of very minor scuffs and some stone chipping. The alloys do let the car down however. They could really do with a refurb. I’ve twice had it booked in for a refurb but been sent to work out of the country both times! This is something I’m sure the new owner would like to do and would really tidy up the whole look of the car.

The car has a good fully stamped up service history with the last one being carried out at 95,000 miles in January this year. This last service was the big 50k mile/ 5 year interval so the following was renewed; oil , oil and air filter, spark plugs, limited slip diff oil, gearbox oil, clutch fluid, brake fluid. The next two services therefore are the minor and cheap oil and filter services.

There are only a few common problems on the Monaros and I’ve addressed them in this one;

• Full new uprated GM LS7 clutch system only 3 months ago at 97k miles including; Clutch, flywheel, slave cylinder, spigot bearing, remote clutch bleed valve and a new rear main oil seal.

• New steel door handles to replace the plastic ones originally on the car which flex and then peel off the paint.

• I’ve had under the rear spoiler resprayed to remove the rust that commonly appears when the spoiler rubs on the boot.

The car is fully HPI clear, with no previous accidents and no finance outstanding. I have the HPI report from when I purchased the car available to view.

In summary, a superb driving car that belies the mileage on the clock. Judged on condition and how it drives you wouldn’t guess the miles. The LS V8’s really do not seem to care about mileage when looked after.

If you have any questions or would like more photos of the car then don’t hesitiate to get in touch.

Cheers,

Richard
