1990 HSV VN SS Group A Commodore #124 ... (SOLD)

Under the Group A regulations governing touring car races in the 1980s and 1990s, HSV's VN SS Group A race cars produced approximately 388 kW (520 hp), enabling 300 km/h with suitable gearing. Equipped with a specially homologated Hollinger six-speed transmission in race trim the VN Group A weighted in at just 1,250 kg, down from the VL Grp A Walkinshaw's 1,325 kg.

But the VN campaign nearly didn’t happen. Group A regulations required 500 units of the HSV VN SS Group As to be sold. Luckily, CAMS bent the rules and Holden Racing Team racers Win Percy, Alan Grice, Neil Crompton, Brad Jones, Peter Brock and Andrew Miedecke got the green light to race at Mount Panorama. We all remember Brockie on two wheels coming down the mountain in the 1991 Bathurst 1000 Tooheys Top Ten and of course Win Percy and Allan Grice's win in the 1990 Toohey's Bathurst 1000.

With such illustrious race credential and with only 302 Group A's built, there is little wonder why they have become so collectible to Holden and HSV collectors.

In outstanding original condition with all matching numbers, HSV VN Group A. Build No. 124 has covered a genuine 81,360 klms from new.

Beautiful condition inside and out. No marks in the upholstery and the Durif Red paint is original and seriously as new.

Mechanically perfect with meticulous maintenance undertaken without thought to cost. The original 4.9 Litre V8, featuring four bolt mains and 215 kW @ 5200 rpm, the superb twin throttle body, cold air intake and electronic multi-point port fuel injection mated to the ML9 ZF 6 speed manual make this a seriously nice ride. The car comes with the original service log book as delivered by Peninsula Holden, Dee Why, NSW.

Here is Holden's final factory built race special - the VN Group A. The perfect weapon for the serious HSV collector. Available for inspection in Brisbane, QLD. (Ref. 5479)
