Timeless.

Very nice, always had a soft spot for the Monza.

To old for me to appreciate it, doesn't really do it.
But it's a straight 3-litre, so engine must sound not half bad.

Lovely, more pics please!

Very nice

One of my grandparents had a 3-litre one of these in white, but unfortunately I'm too young to remember it. Stunning cars!

Philistine.

And the Vauxhall straight six was considered to be one of the finest sounding of that type of lump; especially the 24 valve version which the later Monza should have been fitted with - many have been converted.

What does the S Pack include? Most of the Mk1s I've seen have been autos - is yours the same? And does it have an outlandishly coloured velour interior? That's the main attraction on the top spec ones; I've seen pale green and Bordeaux red before. Can we see the inside?

I'll put some more photos up.

S Pack consists of LSD and Bilstein dampers, this car is 5 speed manual, I think all S Pack Monzas were manual but could be wrong. The inside is beige/gold velour, maybe the least offensive colour!

Hi Gary; welcome to Pistonheads

Is your caps lock stuck?

I think spoke with the owner of this car as he was selling it (ebay ad) and recommended he went over to Autobahnstormers. I recommend the same as the car is most probably known the club. There is a wealth of knowledge on that site regarding these cars and we also have a few of our own resident guru's on here.

Nice car but I may be a little biased

I like it. Looking forward to more pics!
