That only covers the Monaro.

LSV officially imported some other HSV's:
VT2 Commodore GTS & GTSR
VX Commodore GTS & GTSR

I think Walkinshaw's still import stuff (not sure on this, or if it's official).

The company that imported the VT and VT HSV's was HSV UK, I still have the documentation from my cat HSV GTS (VX).

Sorry, I stand corrected, I thought it was LSV.

GIV Ltd ("HSV UK", you have to admire Rod Clausen's cheek) imported the HSV-badged vehicles in the late '90s to about 2001; LSV had the contract for the servicing, performance and warranty work. I wouldn't go so far as to call these imports "official" having, shall we say, conversed with HSV and Tom Walkinshaw about it. We have imported Holdens since, but when Vauxhall thought to do this commencing 2004, they took the shine off it (on a number of levels). We are currently registering dual fuel Holdens, having some social responsibility, but will continue only if there is a reasonable market for these eco gas guzzlers.
