Spotted blue R8

[BigbadVXR]

Spotted this morning in Bordon Y*HSV

[ARAF]

I was going to suggest it was Preciousmetal, but he's sold his.

I guess it could be Bigunit, that bought it, but I'm not sure which side of the capital he's from.

VXR8 is still all tucked up away for you. Booked in for a valet just before you pick it up. Sad for me aswell seeing it everyday and not being able to drive it .....

That few.............. this is a bit rarer still as its an HSV GTS not a VXR8 GTS

So how did they bring in the hsv? Imported? Not through vauxhall? What power upgrade are you considering?

Andrew, car was bought in by W/P direct from HSV as Tom Walkinshaws own personal car
Upgrades - just a OTRCAI and a Remap @ circa 470bhp

Walkinshaw have always brought in HSVs in very small numbers. The family usually keep two or three for their use. I think they currently have a Maloo and a new GTS. Trailermasher bought their old VE GTS, Preciousmetal bought their E2 and E3 GTS's - selling the E3 to Tattooboy, and keeping the E2 for now. The E2 is very rare here, as Vauxhall didn't bring any in - though the differences between E2 and E3 are minimal.

Monkfish had a Maloo that was imported by Walkinshaws.

There was a really nice white Maloo up there back in April with an AUS--- plate on it
