The Vauxhall Monaro was a V8-powered sports coupé that was badge-engineered by HSV from 2004 until 2006. The car was manufactured for the UK on behalf of British automotive marque Vauxhall, and rebadged accordingly.

Production history[edit source]

The Vauxhall-badged Monaro first appeared in 2004. Its production run was rather short, as it had been introduced to the UK during the Australian Monaro's fourth year of production, and the last few cars were built in 2006, although a handful weren't registered until a year later.

Media appearances[edit source]

The Vauxhall Monaro made its television debut for Series 5, Episode 1 of Top Gear on the 24th October, 2004. This car was tested alongside the Jaguar S-Type R and Chrysler 300C HEMI. It made its final televised appearance for Series 10, Episode 6 of Fifth Gear on the 30th October, 2006, a little over 2 years since its first appearance.
