Dealer Comments

ICONIC E SERIES MALOO R8 — HERON WHITE, BUILD 486, 6.0L LS2 V8, IN MINT CONDITION. 114,814 KILOMETRES.

The E Series Maloo R8 was a landmark moment for HSV. Built on the all-new VE platform for the first time, it brought genuine multi-link independent rear suspension, a completely new body and the upgraded 6.0-litre LS2 V8 producing 307kW and 550Nm to a nameplate that had been in continuous production since 1990. The result was described at the time as the sportiest production ute the world had ever seen — and it is hard to argue with that assessment even today.

This car is finished in Heron White with a black interior — a clean, timeless combination on the E Series body that presents beautifully. The factory AP Racing four-piston brake package, Group A Walkinshaw-inspired side skirts, performance sail plane, 19-inch alloy wheels and remote release lockable hard tonneau are all present as HSV intended.

Inside, the GTS-inspired performance seats in Glore suede with leather bolsters set this car apart from anything the mainstream ute market was offering at the time — and still do. The six-speed automatic, dual zone climate control and the full HSV specification round out a car that was built properly and has clearly been maintained to the same standard.

At 114,814 kilometres and Build 486, this is an honest, well-kept E Series R8 — the generation that redefined what a performance ute could be, and increasingly hard to find in this condition.
