Congratulations on your purchase zappaboy, looks amazing, I too had a vf Calais prior to the Motorsport, I agree with re the road noise, but I put this down to having 20 inch wheels as standard. Love the creature comforts in the Motorsport, ie puddle lamps fitted to underside of doors, red...

Just had my first service completed, was a little over by the time I booked it in ( 1200 kms), as I didn't want to part with it for a day,, no issues, no rattles. Knocks or squeaks, if that makes everyone feel better . Sorry to those guys who had issues, I have no doubt Holden will sort for you .

yes that is for heated mirrors, but it does not illuminate when activated , my understanding is the mirrors will defrost/heat when rear window demister is activated

WOW looks great, how did you find exact day/date yours was being built?

Speaking of number plates ordered mine during the week. The dealer tells me my Model has arrived, so hopefully the MSE is not far behind I have ordered Silver Nitrate, but here is a photo for you Zappa boy

Yes , that is good buying, I might have a partial explanation as to why there are so many MSE's still for sale ( reportedly 100 throughout Australia) , but I am sure they will all get snapped up . I spoke to my financier today as I am due to pick up my MSE in the near future, he came back to...

Found this new product on a MSE in Melbourne showroom, you really have to look hard to see the product, what it is ,is a clear film that's placed on all of the leading edges , and behind door handles where rings etc can scratch over time I was told to get entire car done ,ie all doors , bonnet...

It will be interesting, after October 20 Holden will loose their "Home grown" advantage So it will be interesting to watch and observe how they respond to their new market, if their deslerships do not step up to equal or surpass their European counterparts they will become extinct, even after...

I Yes we got the cars we wanted which was fantastic, with 30 Holden dealerships set to close ( reported by media), as Holden re invent themselves, it will be interesting if some of these dealers lift their game, to be honest there is nothing like walking into,a Mercedes, or BMW showroom...

Your quite right Martin, it's a simple enough question, I would like to buy a car, so. How much is it? Through this whole process I have met some outstanding dealers , who do care about their customer , thier future and repeat business, and there are others who I will never set foot in their...

It's a shame that some prices are going crazy, Bourkes are awesome to deal with provided price is suitable to both parties Sorry to hear about your W1 experience I have dealt with Bourkes for years and have made many purchases via them, even back as far a the first CV8 Monaro, just didn't like...

This auto SOAG is for sale at Barry Bourke Motors Berwick

How things change RTSV6UTE, I contacted the Same dealer in Feb/ March and he refused to sell me anything!! ie Motorsport or Director, he told me Thayer were not selling any of their allocation he invited me to go on a list of interested parties, and they would contact us all after October 20...

My understanding is all colours and options had to be locked in by End of March, i enquired a month ago and was told it was a no go

Hi RTSVUTE, did you buy the Director available via Commonwealth Motors, I was going to ring them tomorrow and enquire on price as I was considering passing up my Motorsport and buying the Director instead, if you purchased it are you ok in sharing the price, I know people that have paid from...

Agreed, the shading in the plastics is far more obvious in photos, In real ife and at the exact right angle there is a hint of shading But not worth spending more than a millisecond thinking about it As the overall appearance is breathtaking!

Have to agree, I have ordered silver Nitrate MSE, I saw the colour in the flesh for the first time a couple of weeks ago and loved it , Sophisticated yet powerful is how I would describe it, still haven't seen a MSE on the road, these things are rare!, I wonder how many of the 1200 have been...

Wow, hadn't thought of it that way, unfortunately I think the humble post office Is going the same way as the Commodore, and will eventually become extinct

Correct. According to Holden website, there are 269 dealers across Australia, if you live in The Northern Territory, or Tassie, you limited edition Holden will be very special, with only 2 dealers in NT, and 5 in Tassie, with such low volume numbers, each of these models are indeed going to be...

Yes, you are correct, I know of 5 Directors going straight into storage, I would love to know what numbers of each variant are going to each state, I guess you would have to be pretty excited to have any of these models if you are in Tassie ot NT!

I know of a friend of mine getting his Director in, October ( must be one of the last cars) I would love to know how many motorsports, magnums and directors are going to each state

having research further and looked at more silver nitrates, I must agree, to see any difference in colour, you must look for it , and be at a certain angle in a certain light, so I can live with that.

I inspected some silver Nitrate Redlines and was satisfied with the colour match On the cars I saw , albeit in the showrooms. I have been told by many that the shade difference is due to the light metallic being on the plastic components, fuel cap And bumper as opposed to Metal I am sure...

What a interesting statement , claiming that 73k+ is too much for a Director, I personally know of someone who had to pay 100k for one! And another's who paid 84k & 93k respectively , So based on this 73k is a bargain. Arguably will the Directors be more valuable than motorsports being that...

It will be interesting to see how many get thier first preference of build number, good luck to everyone, I hope I get build no .... But have got some other back up options, ( 4 in total) Should be interesting, at the end of the day it's all a bit of fun Every one of these vehicles will be...

Hi Guys, was just informed via a dealer contact that a Heron White Manual Motorsport may become available via a NSW dealer, (although they can transport it to most states) just wondering if anyone who may have missed out is still in the market for one

You are correct SC, I enquired with a Melbourne dealer who invited me to put my name on the list and they will contact me once Holden Closes, I assume it will then be a case of the cars going to the highest bidder. I wonder there are any breaches of trade practices act when behaving like that...

Reasonable,I would say sensational, was quoted 74,500 for manual Motorsport drive away, ( in vic)

I got the same response from Holden Live Chat, they replied to me on a Sunday, which impressed me! . I advised them of my GMON, and the came back to me with build date of the week of July 4th! build number couldn't be provided though.

Many thanks, that gives me peace of mind, certainly haven't seen enough evidence to make me change my colour choice Thanks again

I have ordered a MSE auto in Silver Nitrate. I have looked at many silver nitrate vechicles in showrooms and on the road, and can say I haven't spotted one with bumper and body colours not matching So hopefully Holden have resolved the issue

Congratulations, Heron White is a great choice

My understanding is that the stock that wasn't taken up by Holden employees Has been distributed to the 34 top dealers in the country ( a few units each). All Of the limited editions that are to be built are now out in the public.Holden do not have any, none for more releases, no last limited...

A FEW MOTORSPORTS AVAILABLE! JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT MY CONTACT AT FERNTREE GULLY HOLDEN IN MELBOURNE HAS THE FOLLOWING STOCK OF MOTORSPORTS AVAILABLE AS OF THIS MORNING ( I JUST RECIEVED THIS EMAIL FROM HIM) IF YOU ARE AFTER ONE , OR KNOW OF SOMEONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR ONE, LET...

I know of a Melbourne dealer on the Mornington peninsula who is doing the same, holding all limited edition stock until Holden closes , then the will no doubt go to the ingest bidder Ben Gibson at ferntree gully Holden in Melbourne is the man to go to if you want a Motorsport At normal price, I...

We have certainly come a long way! speaking of Spitfire: Red Hot Heron White

Many thanks Martin, you have really lifted a weight off our minds ( for those of us (Like me) who couldn't decide Congrats to those going with Spitfire, I believe that will be the Hero colour, as Flame was with the first CV8 Monaro, plus it does look sensational in the flesh with dark tint...

Now that I have seen the image Martin, I think it might look to much with the black centre bonnet decal,that I was originally going with, what do you think?

That's it for me, silver Nitrate it is for me, its classy and sporty all in one Does have some connection to the original Silver Mink of the first Monaro Thankyou so much Martin
