This Holden VF SSV Ute is a potent yet practical modern performance utility vehicle, offered for sale by its third owner from new and transformed by HDT Special Vehicles into a 30th anniversary homage to the legendary SS Group A ‘Blue Meanie’. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 6.0-litre V8, delivering up to 345kW to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. This VF-generation SSV Ute is number 9 of just 30 HDT Group A SS 30th Anniversary ‘Blue Meanie’ examples built, and it was first registered in June 2013. The odometer shows 120,934 Kms from new. HDT Special Vehicles (Holden Dealer Team) converted just 30 Holden models with their limited-production SS Group A 30th Anniversary performance and cosmetic upgrade packages to celebrate 30 years since Peter Brock and HDT originally unveiled the VK Commodore SS Group A ‘Blue Meanie’ homologation special.

Cosmetically, it was fitted with a set of 19-inch HDT ‘Aero’ alloy wheels, the HDT decal package, a HDT engine build plate, a HDT numbered dash badge, a HDT custom boot plate, and the HDT Group A bodykit, including the letterbox grille, the HDT bonnet scoop and the chrome trim painted black. This VF-era SSV Ute is finished in the bold shade of Perfect Blue with gloss-black trim elements, HDT badges, and white ‘SS Group A Peter Brock’ decals, over a black leather and Alcantara-trimmed interior, featuring blue stitching, embroidered ‘HDT’ logos on the seat backs, quilted seat and door card inserts, and brushed aluminium-effect and carbon-fibre trim. It rides on a set of 19-inch HDT ‘Aero’ alloy wheels finished in gloss-white, fitted with Kumho Ecsta tyres. Equipment includes front and rear parking sensors, cruise control, lane keep assist, a central infotainment system with satellite navigation and Bluetooth connectivity, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, and an electrically adjustable driver’s seat. Further enhancements include HDT-branded valve covers, headlight covers, engine bay billet caps, body-coloured engine covers, and floor mats. The car comes with two keys, the invoices for all the HDT work carried out, a HDT keyring with clear plastic presentation box, a dyno print-out, and a ‘Seal of Authenticity’ booklet confirming all genuine options from HDT.

The vehicle’s most recent maintenance was carried out in March 2024 at around 115,000 Kms by Autowerks Automotive, which consisted of a general service. The HDT Group A SS 30th Anniversary upgrades were installed by technicians at HDT Special Vehicles Pty Ltd in December 2021.
