HSV is recognising yet another significant milestone in its proud history.

A Phantom ClubSport R8 recently rolled off the company’s production line in Clayton, Victoria, marking the 80,000th vehicle built since the company’s inception in 1987.

Prominent NSW dealership, Suttons City HSV in Rosebery, is the lucky recipient.

Accompanying the vehicle will be a unique build plate acknowledging its milestone status while the eventual owner (the vehicle is currently un-sold) will receive a letter of authenticity signed by HSV’s Managing Director, Tim Jackson.

“It’s been a whirlwind 18 months for HSV, starting with the launch of the GEN-F range and now the limited edition GTS Maloo”, said Jackson. “This proud milestone is one to be shared by both our dedicated staff and the passionate HSV owners who have made it all possible.”

Other notable production milestones in HSV’s 27 year history include:

• The 5,000th HSV built was an HSV VN T30, (the forerunner to the ClubSport) built in June 1991
• The 20,000th HSV built was a Senator, built in April 1997
• The 40,000th HSV built was a ClubSport, built in August 2003
• The 50,000th HSV built was a ClubSport, built in July 2006
• The 75,000th HSV built was a ClubSport, built in February 2013
