Thanks

And very nice it looks too.

Welcome to the LGV section.

Thank you - i prefer to think of it as the low tax section :-)

(ARAF, get your truck details posted up, I'll happily keep the last 3 digits of your VIN secret if you prefer.)

Not a problem. It will happen, one day.

OK, so I'm going to go with "VXR8 Maloo" as that's how the 2013 Vauxhall VXR brochure names it. I'd like to stick R8 on there too, but the brochure doesn't list the Maloo R8 model with the rest of the E3 HSV's that Vauxhall sold back then. Does your build plate state this is the R8 variant of the Maloo under the bonnet? If it does then I'll change this.

In the 2015 VXR brochure, the VXR8 Maloo is listed as being the R8 variant, but that's the Gen-F version of the car.

(Sorry! God help me and my OCD )

Build plate says that is it a "Maloo VXR8"

Cheers, that's close enough. I've listed it as a VXR8 Maloo.

Now we just need the owner of the Yellow E3 Maloo from eBay a while back to appear on here too

isn't that up for sale now at Dove House in Northampton? Also, I understand that the blue one is quite close to me in Aldershot.

No idea to be honest. Would be nice to see them on here at some point.

Hello. Thanks for the info. Can I confirm that 342 is the last 3 digits of the VIN/body number? I don't think your car will have a build number.

Also, can you let me know the build date as stamped on the build plate under the bonnet. (This is not the same as the date of first registration)

Cheers,
Paul.

Just to confirm, I've assumed that you formerly owned this car? Please let me know if you still have it and I'll update accordingly.


Cheers all - please keep the updates coming
