I spotted this while driving around Canberra today. Thought it was a faclifted Monaro but the body is different to a the Monaro that ended production a few years back.

I did a google and came up with this that is clearly the same car

MONARO 2 DOOR COUPE HSV VE GTO VRX LUMINA - YouTube

I did not know that HSV continued development of the two door after mainstream Monaro production ceased.

That looks very nice....The top one that is....not a fan of those fiberglass bonnet things on the second one...maybe it was custom made.

The top one has them as well - I thought both were the same car but they are not - the top one does not have Monaro badges on it at all - just HSV badges. The one in the clip has Monaro badges on it but has the same body as the top one - body pressings are different to the last of the Monaros so would have been an expensive exercise to make.
