2008 HSV VE Maloo R8 - Phantom Black - 33,335km - LS3 6.2L V8, 6-Speed Manual, Build #0351, HSV Hard Tonneau
2008 HSV VE Maloo R8 single cab utility finished in Phantom Black. 6.2-litre LS3 V8 (317kW), 6-speed manual, rear-wheel drive. Odometer indicating 33,335 kilometres. Two seats. One key.
Description
The VE Maloo R8 was a turning point for the HSV performance ute. The jump to the LS3 6.2-litre V8 producing 317kW and 550Nm brought genuinely exciting performance, and pairing it with the six-speed manual transmission created one of the most engaging driving experiences HSV ever offered in a ute. Build Number 0351, this example carries the combination that collectors prize most: LS3 power, a manual gearbox, and low kilometres.
At just 33,335 kilometres, this Maloo has barely been used. The Phantom Black paintwork presents with a deep, mirror-like gloss across all panels. Panel alignment is tight and consistent throughout, with no visible collision damage or respray evidence. The interior features HSV sports seats in dark grey and black cloth with contrasting white stitching and embroidered "Maloo" logos, all in excellent condition with minimal wear. The HSV white-faced instrument cluster confirms the low odometer reading. Under the bonnet, the LS3 sits clean and factory-standard, wearing the signature red HSV engine cover. A genuine HSV hard tonneau cover with serialised plaque is fitted. The factory 20-inch alloy wheels have been colour-changed to gloss black and are paired with red brake calipers at all four corners. The HSV documentation wallet is present with the Maloo owner's booklet, HSV warranty card, Holden Customer Care booklet, and tyre pressure gauge tool kit.
Comparable VE Maloo R8 models with the manual transmission are listed from $56,999 to $99,950 depending on kilometres and specification. At 33,335km with the manual box, this example sits at the premium end of the market. Low-kilometre manual LS3 Maloos are genuinely scarce and command strong interest every time one surfaces.
