1994 HSV VR Clubsport 185i - Silver - 169,316km - 5.0L V8, Automatic, Factory Alloys
1994 HSV VR Clubsport 185i, 4-door sedan, rear-wheel drive, 5.0L V8, 4-speed automatic, 169,316km, 5 seats.
Description
The VR Clubsport was the car that put HSV's credibility beyond any doubt. Released in 1993 and produced through to 1995, it was the first time HSV built genuinely distinct bodywork for its performance range rather than just rebadging the standard Commodore. Under the bonnet sits the HSV-tuned 5.0-litre V8 rated at 185kW, breathing through the factory "BIG MOUTH" cold-air induction system and a low-restriction exhaust. The package also brought ABS brakes, independent rear suspension, 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, deep front apron, factory side skirts, and a boot lip spoiler as standard. These details matter because they all have to be present and original on any genuine example, and this one has them all.
This example is finished in silver metallic and presents well for its age and kilometres. The paint holds genuine gloss across all panels with no obvious dents, dings, rust, or colour mismatches between panels. All HSV body components are confirmed present: deep front apron, factory side skirts, 17-inch five-spoke alloys in clean condition, and the boot lip spoiler. The engine bay is tidy and correct, with the factory HSV 185i intake plenum and BIG MOUTH cold-air airbox both in place, consistent with a stock unmodified example. Inside, the grey cloth HSV sports seats are in good condition with the embroidered "HSV" headrests intact front and rear. A dash mat is fitted over the dashboard. The boot is clean. Logbooks and the Holden VR Series owner's manual are present.
A comparable 1994 VR Clubsport 185i manual in pristine, unmolested condition with under 100,000km was offered at $59,990 through a Sydney specialist dealer in 2025. This automatic example at 169,316km will sit well below that ceiling, but the growing collector momentum behind VR-era HSV machines means honest, original examples continue to find strong support at auction regardless of transmission. No price guide is listed, making this a genuine open-market result.
