This Holden HSV GTS is a brawny Australian performance coupe, fitted with some well-chosen upgrades. It is powered by a 5.7-litre ‘LS1’ V8, delivering around 300kW to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission.

Build year: 2003 This example is finished in Quicksilver over a black leather-trimmed cabin, punctuated by white stitching and honeycomb-style inlays. It rides on a set of dark grey 19-inch twin five-spoke alloy wheels, housing red callipers and fitted with Dayton tyres. Equipment includes electrically adjustable front seats with three-position driver’s memory, cruise control, dual-zone climate control, and a Blaupunkt stereo with 6CD autochanger. A 2.5-inch Pacemaker exhaust, a VCM OTR cold air intake, and a boot-mounted Clarion subwoofer have been fitted. Accompanying the sale is the owner’s book pack, service book, various invoices, spare wheel, fire extinguisher, and one ignition key.

This example is finished in a timeless silver-and-black colour scheme, and its V8 is further amplified through the fitment of an aftermarket exhaust and cold-air feed. Fitted with a replacement clutch and flywheel around 1,000 kilometres ago, it would make a rewarding choice for daily driving duties, weekend blasts, or longer road trips.
