2009 HSV VE Clubsport R8 – $58,000
Bet Clark Griswold would rather have had this than the ‘Family Truckster’ to get across the country in the film, National Lampoon’s Vacation.
Like every model that slipped out of HSV headquarters, the VE Series II R8 Tourer arrived in Holden showrooms, (remember them) to a fanfare of hype and had journos scrambling to get their mitts on one.
Astute collectors are looking very keenly at HSVs, especially rare ones like this R8 wagon.
Up front is a 6.2lt V8 paired with a six-speed manual ’box, one of just 33 made in this combo in white.
Inside is a comfy leather cabin and this one appears to be in excellent and original condition.
