The Maloo R8 is now available in the UK via TWG as an official import!!!!

I understand that the car will be as per OZ spec.

Not sure on colours yet....

Price..........£31500.00 + VAT.

Thats weird, they have a picture of them on their website.
What about the Senator then?
What will they import, just Maloo?
Pretty pointless if thats all.

Is TWG officially up and running via their website yet. I did have a bochire, but web address only gave a home page that was under destruction!

How weird is this? Just googled HSV TWR to find the website your talking about (still haven't found it) and this pops out. www.petrolheads.co.uk/gassing/topi One of the first, if not the first ever HSV related topics on Pistonheads and it was started by..........me! Happy memories of a big grin as I pulled out of Rod Clausens place.

At the moment they are bringing in the Maloo, i believe they would consider others depending on demand vs ESVA etc. www.twg-ltd.com is their website.

They have all models shown, but believe that Maloo is it for now. With VE due out in OZ later in the year, by the time they had considered Club Sport etc it would be out of production.

well if its a VXR and its in black I'll give you 65p, red would only have been worth 20p cause they are so slow.

Could it be that Vauxhall want the Clubsport as the new VXR?
Maybe as top dog to the new VE?

Either way Id have thought that the Clubsport would be more popular than the Maloo.
Perhaps its the VAT free aspect that appeals.
