Registration - NQO193 due 28.10.2018 Engine No - N852891 P Vin/Chassis - N852892 P Photo 1 - The side view of Monaro is of an accurate replica of what the vehicle should look like pre-theft. I can assure you truthfully that the car was of equal quality, if not more because it was fitted with a metal, electric retractable sun roof (not a factory fitted standard option), an unique feature for this model. Photo 2 - Shows rear of Monaro with inexplicable exploded rear window only held together by the tinted membrane. Photo 4 - was taken at Granville Tech.

10.01.2022 Today marked a sad day in our home , My niece 12 months ago bought a junior race boat with the name Monopoly on it today we saw it stripped of all its art work ...as after seeking approval from HASBRO we were told it had to be removed as the previous owners had not sought approval To do this to a 14 year old girl is heartbreaking so we as a family will never buy a HASBRO product again and are calling on others to do the same , I,m not sure how long this statement will stay on here as knowing what they did to my niece it will probably be removed by the big wigs at HASBRO so lets see what happens Ps this company had a revenue turn over of 5 Billion dollars in 2016 See more
