2001 HSV Maloo VU R8
2001 HSV Maloo VU R8 utility finished in Red. Rear-wheel drive configuration powered by a 5.7-litre LS1 V8 petrol engine paired with a 6-speed manual Tremec T56 transmission. Odometer indicating 174,209 kilometres. Seating for two occupants.

Description / Overview:
This 2001 HSV Maloo VU R8 is Build #291 of approximately 812 VU Maloos produced, confirmed by the original HSV build plate dated 12 September 2001. It carries the most sought-after combination in the VU Maloo range: the 255kW LS1 V8 with the T56 6-speed manual gearbox. A genuine R8-badged example with matching VIN and HSV authentication documents present.

Service documentation visible with the vehicle records drivetrain work including a rear differential ratio change to 3.9:1, CV shaft replacement, tailshaft and drive coupling work. The vehicle also features an aftermarket pod air filter in place of the factory airbox, and an aftermarket head unit. Note: the ABS warning light is illuminated and will require diagnosis prior to use. Buyers are advised to conduct a physical inspection.

The tub is clean and well-presented with the factory hard tonneau and integrated rear spoiler intact. Exterior paint presents strongly in Sting Red with no visible rust or panel damage. Steering wheel shows wear at the upper rim and would benefit from a re-trim. The R8 spec and manual drivetrain make this a compelling lot for HSV collectors and performance enthusiasts.
