1989 HSV VN SV89 Build No 149 - Alpine White
The SV89 was the first HSV to use Holden's newly designed fuel-injected 5 litre V8 engine car. It was also the first HSV car to be based on the VN Commodore. With minor modifications, HSV bumped the power output from 165kW to 180kW and while the five-speed manual gearbox was left alone, HSV tricked-up the four-speed automatic versions with a revised shift pattern for perkier performance.
In the looks department, HSV went for an all white theme. The body kit consisted of reasonably deep front, rear and side skirts, the latter being the most conservative element of the package. A small bootlid spoiler was also fitted and an HSV-specific grille added. Badging was, of course, HSV and an SV89 decal appeared on the grille beside the right-hand headlight.
About the only non-white items were the black door handles and window frames, and the polished edges of the five-spoke alloy wheels. The wheels were actually the same as those on the Walkinshaw model with the centres painted white to continue the overall theme.
While Build No. 149 drives and runs well, it has been part of a large HSV collection and has driven only 1,000 Klms in the last 19 years so would benefit from a mechanical freshen up. The SV89 is supplied with the current owners purchase invoice from 2007 and one key.
Here is a great opportunity to buy a rare to find limited run HSV and a significant model of an early HSV model.

AMCS takes no responsibility for the accuracy or veracity of the information provided by the Seller.
When a Buyer wishes to speak to the owner or inspect a vehicle listed for sale on the AMCS web site, AMCS will request a copy of the potential buyers driver's license or a business card along with an email address and phone number. This is provided to the seller as confirmation of the legitimacy of the buyer and the seller is then asked to contact the potential buyer to discuss the car and set up an inspection if required.
The Buyer must make his own enquiries and inspections regarding the condition, authenticity and veracity of the vehicle and any statements made by the Seller, and satisfy themselves in all aspects prior to purchasing the car from the Seller. The Buyer understands there is no warranty or guarantee offered by either the Seller or AMCS.
If upon inspection the Buyer is not satisfied with the car for any reason and does not wish to proceed with the purchase the owner is advised and any personal details are deleted from AMCS records.
If the Buyer is satisfied with the car and a price is agreed to with the Seller a formal tax invoice is prepared by AMCS and sent to the Buyer for payment to the AMCS audited Trust Account. AMCS also receives a formal Bill of Sale from the owner stating the car is free of encumbrance and noting banking details for the transaction. Once AMCS receives the total payment cleared into its trust account a transfer is then made to the Seller.
