Morning everyone.

The dyno day at WRC in Silverstone will be in the November issue of Total Vauxhall magazine. I'm currently writing the feature up but I could do with a couple of pointers regarding the pre Vauxhall Monaros, HSV UK and personal imports, as I'd like to go a little more in depth with these cars than we otherwise would on a regular dyno article. I think that there are quite a lot of people who are unaware that there is such a large variety of V8 Holdens out there.

HSV UK: How long were they in the UK, what did they import and did they offer modifications to the cars?

Personal imports: Has this been a common way of getting cars into the country? I assume people are still importing HSV's now?

Pre-Vauxhall Monaros: How many of these roughly made it to the UK and when did they first arrive?


Sorry if I appear a bit dense asking these questions but I hope it'll be worth it in the end. :beer:

Dougie.
