This Holden HSV GTS 300 is a very well-preserved example of the extremely rare modern classic performance coupe, offered with low mileage from new. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 5.7-litre Callaway C4B V8, delivering 300kW to the rear wheels via a six-speed Tremec T56 manual transmission. This example has been with the seller for less than one year. This HSV GTS 300 is build number 24, and is certified as being the final ever manual VIII GTS Coupe built by HSV. The odometer shows just 37,313 Kms from new. Originally based on the Monaro VII, but renamed the HSV Coupe, the model range initially consisted of two variants, the GTO and the GTS. The GTS was the top-of-the-range model and featured a number of desirable upgrades, including a more powerful engine, a HydraTrack limited-slip differential, adjustable Öhlins suspension, six-piston front and four-piston rear callipers, a subtle roof spoiler, a low-level rear spoiler, and metallic bodykit accents. This example is finished in the sleek shade of Phantom Black with contrasting silver lower trim accents, over a black leather-trimmed interior, featuring contrasting stitching, embroidered HSV emblems on the seat backs, and carbon-fibre and silver trim accents. It rides on a set of 19-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, framing red HSV-branded brake callipers and fitted with Bridgestone Potenza tyres. Equipment includes rear parking sensors, an electric sunroof, cruise control, white dials, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, a Blaupunkt CD stereo with multichanger, switchable traction control, upper dashboard oil pressure and Smarttire monitor gauges, and electrically adjustable front seats with three-position driver memory. The car comes with a space-saver spare wheel, a jack, all the owner’s manuals with a black leather wallet, three keys, a pot of HSV-branded touch-up paint, the log books, a black leather-bound compendium with a certificate of authenticity and dyno print-outs, as well as confirmation of the car’s build significance from the manager of HSV customer service, various supplementary leaflets, and an official HSV-branded metal suitcase. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the front bumper has been resprayed, and there are now minor stone chips on the front bumper. This GTS 300’s most recent maintenance was carried out in June 2023 at 37,311 Kms by JK Performance & Automotive, which consisted of an engine oil and filter change, new air and fuel filters, and the spark plugs replaced. Other notable maintenance includes new tyres being fitted, and the windscreen being replaced by a previous owner. This Holden HSV GTS 300 is a timelessly specified and particularly well-preserved example of the extremely rare modern classic performance coupe, offered with low mileage from new. Confirmed as the final ever manual VIII GTS Coupe built by HSV, with a number of desirable factory upgrades, and boasting a powerful V8 engine coupled to an engaging six-speed manual gearbox, it would make a discerning addition to any collection, and a thrilling yet practical companion for rapid daily driving, weekend fun, and longer-distance road trips alike.
