Monza

Pictures from last year, when she was was in her prime and when she was last on the road.

She's a late GSE Manual, and the pick of my fleet.

I really do love the big battle barge cum sports coupes... :love

Being so rare, now makes them even more wonderful to see.

And white ones to me are the best !!

Congratulations on having such a sensational car . :thumb

Why thank you very much.

Got it 3 years ago now for £280 would you believe. Under 100k on the clock. Needed a tidy as It's been sat in a barn for a about 5 years.

Plus, at 25 years old, it's 3 years my senior :lol:

Oh!, I am so fu**ing jealous now! I had a Viceroy in the early '90s,, which for those who don't know was midway between the Carlton and Senator. I really wanted one of these but couldn't insure one back then. I saw some nice ones and some equally really bad ones through the dealer over the years. A good one of these would make me really happy, never thought about it until I saw this, now I'm gonna be dreaming of them again!

I'm the Treasurer.
I've got a Senny with a C30NE Gold-top (one day destined for this), plus the 4 Omegas aswell.
I like my Sixes!! :D

Didn't make it to Billing last year, (but I think I can guess about who it is you're referring :lol: ).
Was the only Monza at PVS that year though :D but it was pissing it down and I was on a stand demoted to the grass area at the back :roll:

Stop it! I can't afford it and she would go apeshit if I bought another car, especially one with six cylinders!
