2010 HOLDEN MALOO

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2026 on Sunday the 15th of November, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT. Estimated price: GBP 25,000 - GBP 30,000.

Developed by Holden Special Vehicles, the R8 Maloo combined the performance of a serious V8 muscle car with the practicality of a traditional Australian 'Ute'

First registered in 2010 and imported from New South Wales in 2022, this is one of few examples on UK roads

Powered by General Motors' formidable 6.2-litre LS3 V8, producing approximately 456bhp in standard specification, driving the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox

Further enhanced from new by Walkinshaw Performance with a high-flow intake manifold, performance headers and sports exhaust system, adding an extra dimension to an already characterful machine

Finished in eye-catching Voodoo Blue Metallic with a colour-coded load bay cover, distinctive HSV body styling, including the front splitter, bumpers and side skirts, and sitting on 20-inch HSV alloy wheels. Smart black leather interior with Alcantara sports seats HSV embroidery, Alcantara headlining and a factory Blaupunkt stereo

Accompanied by its owner's manual, HSV build plaque, power read-out and supporting invoices, together with an MOT valid until October 2027, issued without advisories

Presented in excellent order, this Walkinshaw-enhanced Maloo offers an unusual opportunity to experience Australia's distinctive take on the traditional muscle car. With its thundering V8, manual gearbox and unmistakable styling, it's a wonderfully unconventional machine, made all the more memorable by its fitting registration, MY55 UTE.
