Article in Southern Daily Echo states they grabbed the last 9 available, paid cash (unheard of by a dealer) and sold the lot within a month discounting the price by £8,500 over list and mostly to local drivers (Hants). The article quotes the VXR's as being limited/governed to 165 MPH, did'nt know that.

Still three Monaros on the forecourt this morning, didn't look sold - prices still on display in the windscreens.

IIRC: impulse blue '04 CV8 (05 plate), red hot '05 VXR (54 plate), red hot '05 VXR (55 plate). I can't remember the prices.

ETA: there was a brand new red hot unregistered Maloo on the forecourt too! I gather they are bringing these into the country now.

ETA2: Ah, you're talking about new cars aren't you - doh! rolleyes

Quickars have at least two pre-reg left.

I've just bought their last black one, but they have a red one with approx 300 miles on it, and I know they have a silver one which a week ago had just 11 miles up.....not certain but they *might* have 2 silver ones. All on 56 plates as far as I know.

They're a very helpful couple of guys and on the basis of my experience with them so far I'd recommend them.

Thanks Simon for all your help pre-purchase (Mark P here!) - why not stretch those leathers a bit more and join me at Donington for a track session on the bikes tomorrow?? cool
