When is a Maloo not a Maloo? When it's an SS!! Sales pitch perhaps?

I saw this yesterday
Made me laugh - a lot
As if the car has an identity crisis the dealer hasn't got a clue what he has or is selling

When is an HSV Maloo not an HSV Maloo .....
When its a Holden Ute SS

Would expect a bit more professionalism from a specialist dealer to know what he is selling

Completely standard apart from the exhaust system, rear valance, stereo and heated leather interior! I have never seen a VY or VZ with heated seats. My VY had every extra apart from mudflaps and heated seats were not an option. On that note Bones, I think you have my old ute!

I did email them the other day on ebay to tell them what they have and so people aren't mis educated on what they are buying. Still haven heard back from them to say ps off or thanks, either would be ok.

Not sure if I have your old ute, I'm the third owner from new. I bought it off Dave Smith. The the guy that purchased it new in New Zealand in 2002 moved there so I believe not long after selling it to Dave.
Would that be you? If so it has changed a lot even since I bought it from Dave.

Yes that’s me. The only reason it got sold was to emigrate. Good to see the old tub is still going! I have just got a mint 2005 Maloo R8 in Phantom black over here.

The things we have to do, Dave sold the ute to me and regretted it ever since, at least your the right side of the pond for choice . The old ute is running a lot more power than when you sold it that's for sure. Dave spent a small fortune and I just can't help myself either.
That's weird I was thinking about getting in contact with you last month. When I bought the ute it came with one of your old receipts and I had tracked you down on the net in NZ, it'll have been a few years ago when I was searching. I found that you are something to do with the gardening business. I have a few questions to ask so I'll pm you my email.

I have tried to pm you but it says "the recipient doesn't except emails".
