1990 HSV VN SS Group A Commodore - Build No. 124 / 302 ... (SOLD)

For sale from our Sydney Showroom is HSV VN Group A Build No.124. A logbook car, this Group A has covered a genuine 81,986 km and is priced to sell.

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 to the public. Luckily, CAMS bent the rules and Holden Racing Team drivers 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 Toohey’s 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 they have become so collectible to Holden and HSV enthusiasts.

In outstanding condition with all matching numbers, HSV VN SS Group A build No. 124 has covered a genuine 81,986km from new.

Presented in beautiful condition inside and out, features excellent original Durif Red paint and unmarked upholstery. 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 homologation race special - the VN SS Group A. The perfect weapon for the serious HSV collector.

Available for inspection in our Sydney Showroom. (Ref. 6166)
