Was watching an old episode of TopGear on Dave where Hammond and some Japanese dudes briefly put the last shape 6.0 Ltr Monaro VXR to the test..... 1,30 something round the track if I recall...

Anyway, during the feature I actually noticed that they managed to use three different Monaros...

A Red one KW54 PXT. *never used it, was stationary 'in the studio'*
A Silver one KE05 EHN (with bonnet vents)
A Silver one KE54 PDY (without bonnet vents)

(im guessing they didn't want a black one.... only wanted the two fastest colours)

I just wondered who now owned these three, now slightly famous Monaros.

Something in the back of my mind says PDY was the press demo car?

What was the reg on Donk's old one, as that was a 54 plate that was used on TG for the Pendine Sands race.
