Here you are, from the HSV The Innovators publication. Not a great example of a car with the HSV logo. They must have been really really hard up for business or exposure at the time.

Hi mike

Yeah that’s why I’m trying to gather as much info as possible at the moment because there’s next to nothing really online . But I got it for a good price I think . But I’m not sure if Llyods auctions is that reputable as it was a nightmare getting the car I got the run around for two months to get the car even though I paid for the car straight away when I won the auctions anyways this is what they had on the auction.

FYI:

6H8VPK19HNL577994
=
6H8 (GMH)
VP (Series)
K19H (Executive sedan 3.8 V6)
N (1992)
L (Adelaide)
577994 (plant sequential production number)

It may well be a genuine Nitron that a previous owner had the blower added to. It looks like they were mainly just a cosmetic touch up anyway. A lower body kit and wheels with a couple of stickers and a glove box lid. HSV probably never did a rivet-on tag for the engine bay if they didn't touch any mechanicals.

Could an email to SVGM not provide an answer?

I think the hsv badges were put on by the previous owner along with the super charge
I am thinking the only HSV badge on the exterior of the car should be one on the rear panel under the passenger side tail light.

To answer your first question on what I think it's worth, given the HSV treatment is cosmetic only, I can't see it reaching normal HSV level prices- it's probably worth less than most 304 VP's in similar condition
