Description
2012.5 HSV Maloo R8 - 25th Anniversary - 6 Speed Manual - Yellow Badge - 1 of 4 made - 34,335 KMS
A rare opportunity to own a true piece of Australian muscle car history. This 2012.5 HSV, Maloo R8, 25th Anniversary Edition, finished in Hazard Yellow with black Onxy leather interior and is one of only four built in this colour and spec.
Immaculately presented, always stored undercover in a climate-controlled garage, never driven in the rain, and still smells like new. The tray has never been used.
Comes complete with all original HSV books, Certificate of Authenticity, a signed letter from HSV & Ryan Walkinshaw stating “one of four made”, and the original 25th Anniversary marketing brochure featuring Robbie Maddison.
I owned this while living in Australia and Imported into NZ in 2016 using a sealed 20-ft container to provide additional vehicle protection. From the factory this Maloo R8 made 325KW, enhanced further with a Walkinshaw W365 Performance Package (OTR intake, ceramic headers, stainless exhaust, dyno tune).
Wearing the rare yellow HSV badge (reserved for flagship performance models), it was well optioned with SV performance package, 6-piston HSV brakes, Enhanced Driver Interface (EDI), vector vents, 20” SV black wheels, GPS Nav, remote hard-lid, and Tremec 6-speed manual.
Servicing is up to date with recent oil change & a new battery fitted in 2024. Comes with HSV car cover and CTEC charger.
Genuine collector’s car. Inspections by appointment only in Taupo.
No dealers unless you represent a collector.
No trades unless it’s a 2021+ Toyota Hilux or GR Yaris (manual, low km) plus significant cash difference.

I’m actually 50/50 on selling this one, had it since 2013 and work in Auz. Was contacted by an auction house in Auz and they said the same thing you said, put it in a container, ship back over and would be sold quickly for more than my asking price given the spec on this one.
