Good ta Al, 215 miles on £44 but maybe more as they road tested it before i reset the clock on picking up....

Struggle to get that on a 3.2 Auto with LPG, 

Monaro and vxr8 never drunk as much as omega's in the first place.

No reason to lie!!!!!

Do i need to answer that 

[05omegav6]

Er....


Nope

Turned it into a Hyundai

Chevrolet version is much better looking...


Yes, the Holden Commodore SS (or SS-V) look much nicer than the GTS.

I wish Vaux would import it as the Vauxhall Commodore.

GTS is naffsville Tennessee .
The Commodore Estates look the business

Holden's are available with LPG as an LPG version

Still need the lottery win though!

Indeed, a new mid range Commodore estate, 3.6 v6 with lpg, can be had for about $36k, (£22k), but buy the time you've shipped it here and paid the 15% import duty and 20% vat, you're looking at near enough£40k which opens the doors to E Class/BMW 5 Series/Jag XF/Volvo V70 estates, and all with change

Second hand would be better, but still looking at around £25-30k for a V8 Commodore Sportwagon, by the time it's reached the drive

Would be more viable if Holden did export sales, thereby pricing the cars to match the import taxes at the port of delivery, the shipping cost could be reduced by sending the cars to Korea to put on the Daewoo boats, (which is probably what they already do given the numbers they're not importing...)

Think the Commodore range runs from $35k-$60k, so if they we're available here at those prices, then they would be much more viable, adding a diesel lump to the range would help, the 3.0V6 would be a start...

I like your thinking Al, I like your thinking very much indeed 

Who could we petition to get Holden to export to UK under some kind of deal..............?

Isn't Boris keen on getting foreign business to come here?

Nah, think I'll stick with my lottery plan............
