Yes drove it recently. It may have seen a track at some stage judging by the front tyres, but they are original fit and still have tread so perhaps not many miles done on track.

Other than the usual nose stone chips there are a few small chips on a couple of wheels, and one on the rear wing where it meets the boot.

Decent service record, first owner paid £36k ! Drove smoothly enough, braked very true etc so no deal killers.

Good enough car, I just saw another I preferred later the same day.

Nice folk at Quickars.

That interior shot is not an 05 VXR. (well it`s nothing even close to mine anyway)

The interior doesn't look like a VXR because it isn't! Have a look at the body colour, that isn't black either...
Dealer error methinks! Rest looks good though!

Hmm, looks exactly like the interior on mine (55 plate 6.0 VXR)

... and is it just me who thinks that if you are going to take a picture of the engine bay it might be worth cleaning it first??

Probably because that is not a Monaro

Well, it looks exactly like my Monaro - don't think the photos do it justice, but as far as I can see, it is a 6L VXR

(except mines Red...)

Maybe they've realised they did it wrong and have changed it now....?

Just me personally but I saw this advert some time ago now and was immediately put off by the pictures, surely for the advert to sell the car, the car would be gleaming inside and out, it looks like its been off roading!!

Sure it drives fine and all that, just the condition of the car when those pics were taken were enough to put me off enquiring about that car.

I thought that, looks like it's been at the bottom of the sea.

You`re saying that you have your window controls on the drivers door and no electric controls on the drivers seat, did you import yours?

Whoops wrong quote smile
Confused now (though this is a fairly common occurence for me biggrin)

Are we looking at different pictures??

My window controls are on the centre console, same as the pictures for this car..

I think the body colour being SILVER is a clue that the interior shot may be from another car.

Perhaps it was resprayed recently !
