It’s not often that an Aussie performance-car icon turns up for sale in virtually untouched condition, but fans of the HSV VL SS Group A Walkinshaw now have the chance to get their hands on one.
With only 20km on the clock from new, this Walky may well be the lowest-kilometre car of its kind to reach the market since production commenced in 1988.
Number 82 of the 749 Walkys produced, this car rolled off the line on 11 July 1988, before being delivered to Canowindra Motors. It stayed at the dealer until March 1991, when it was purchased by its first owner for $36,000 in cash – a good buy when you consider the model originally had an RRP of $45,000 before on-roads.



This #82 car was never fitted with the lower front splitter, side skirts and rear bumper, and all these pieces are still wrapped from factory – as are most of the interior goodies.

According to the listing, “during the early years of ownership, the car was occasionally started and idled to temperature. It was subsequently preserved by periodically turning the engine over by hand, keeping the internal components moving without regularly running the engine.”
About the only non-OG part on the car is the battery, but even then, the original one comes with car!

The Walkinshaw has remained within the same family throughout its life, so it comes with a stack of documentation, including the HSV factory release form, the dealership’s inspection report, the original dealer registration certificate, its NSW rego plates, and the sales contract.



The current published auction record sits at $380,000 for chassis #333 in 2018. Car #339 was touted for over $1 million in 2021, with no published sale price
In June this year, #285 sold for $209,000 plus fees, with more than 45,000km on the odo, and #304 is currently listed at Seven82motors for $330,000 with 15,685km on the dial.
Expressions of interest in #082 are open at Richmonds in Adelaide until 12pm on 30 September 2026.
