eBay takes bids for Last Monaro
The last of the current generation Monaro will be auctioned this month at eBay.The vehicle will be unveiled by Holden at the Melbourne International Motor Show media day on February 9. Those interested can bid for the Monaro at eBay.com.au until February 19. All proceeds of the auction will go to the Leukaemia Foundation of Australia.
The 'Very Last Monaro' in Torque custom paint was built on December 13 last year and customized by Holden Design and Engineering.
The architect of the new generation Monaro, former Holden Design Director Mike Simcoe, was recognised through the use of Data Dot technology which applied microscopic copies of Simcoe's signature and the ISOVIN number to the vehicle's underbody, panels and major components. Other features include dashboard badge engraved with Simcoe's signature and unique tag number on vehicle.
The sale of the car will mark the end of Monaro domestic production in Elizabeth, South Australia after more than four years and 47,000 sales in Australia and overseas representing four General Motors brands.
GM Holden Chairman and Managing Director, Denny Mooney, said the car was a fitting end to the latest chapter of the Monaro story.
"Monaro is symbolic of our success locally by showcasing Holden's strength in innovation and design," he said. "It symbolises our commitment to philanthropy and we are extremely proud to be donating all proceeds to the Leukaemia Foundation with which we have a long association."
