Love it, makes me proud of what Australian manufacturers are capable of, Holden is very special to most Aussie’s and will be sadly missed and prices are reflecting this.
@@Hannah_The_Heretic you're wrong, the VE/VF Commodore were completely designed and built in Australia. Sure the motor is a GM motor but it's definitely not an American car.
Well done Paul! A wonderful review of some of the last Aussie muscle! Put a smile on my face and a tinge of sadness thinking about the innovation we have lost! Being given the keys to a 1m car shows the respect you have within the industry!
A bittersweet video this one. Absolute beast of a Ute but so sad to see that local vehicle manufacturing here in Australia has all come to an end, but damn did we go out with a bang. Awesome video 🤙🏻
I had a VE SS Ute back 10 years ago and I never felt like I was driving a truck, it actually felt like a 2 door coupe and thus special to sit in and drive. It was cammed which also made it sound insane. Awesome car.
I had the same ... ve ss manual ute ... 3 inch straight thru ... used to backfire and rumble on the downrev.... i swapped it for a new colorado... now it feels like im driving a bus... i miss it so much.
@@johno6366 Mine too mate. Once I have myself a proper garage to store my cars in, I'll be hunting down a nice VF Series 2 Sportwagon. Preferably in "Light My Fire" orange
I really liked this video. The little history lesson was really cool. Have you guys ever considered doing reviews on other older/special cars? I think there'd be a bit of a demand for that kind of content
Would love to! We would just need a spot to film them. As much as I loved filming this - I spent the entire day on edge. Every time anybody came near me I was on high alert. I’d hate to be driving somebody’s pride and joy and have some numpty merge into me while trying to TikTok.
From the moment you start driving the W1 Ute, the smile on your face says it all Paul; you just can't make that stuff up..! Well done mate (PS I am betting there was quite a scuffle when they tried to pry the keys out of your hands after this test drive Paul .?)
Watching this and I can't seem to shake the thought of holden closing down 😭😭😭 i think Australia should just buy all rights or tell GM we'll keep it own and all that ...
It was never really an all Australian car to begin with anyway. The very first FX was designed in America and for many years Holden has been using American Chevy engines because they were better than the smaller ones they made.
Hi Paul. I understood that the 4 W1 utes were taken off the overall sedan build, so 271 Aussie W1 sedans. Then you have the press car on top of that which was meant to be crushed but ended up being sold. But I didn't know GM made an extra batch for Australia, I thought the story goes that HSV scrounged around to find 300 LS9's from warehouses etc. But if you look online, LS9 crate engines are for sale so GM must still be making them, all confusing to me.
If only we had this car in the UK , I mean technically we have the Vauxhall Maloo which is the same car but the chances of finding one for sale are slim to none :( such a bummer as this car is incredible 😍
I have a VE R8 Maloo, it took me a good couple weeks to understand that I would never use a rear window view ever again. It's just all humps. Side mirrors are still a pain when trying to change lanes however.
I'd settle for a front end crashed body to be sent here to the USA. We cant have the running ones but crashed ones are fine to take apart for my own ute build
I don’t know what I’d do to have this car, the shape, the colour and just everything to do with it is a dream and something that would be well looked after and not thrashed around
Now THIS is a car review. People like you should be getting the light and succeeding! Not people like SuperCarBlondie who literally just says “now look at those wheels, so nice, look at the engine, very cool, look at how the door opens, wow. Now this is a car” literally no useful information or tid bits.
There is a W1 Sedan pilot vehicle for sale on Grays Online right now. It's in Jungle Fever and comes with Jamie Wincup, Shane Van Gisbergen and Craig Lowndes's signatures on the engine cover. Currently sitting at 350k
Paul, Love your work and I loved this review of a great ute. A magnificent and historically significant car, no doubt at all. Being such a small run and specialised vehicle I don't know if it deserves "pinnacle of Australian engineering". It was used for a very short time, came from 'Murica (NOT Oz) and sold to an elite selected few. Hardly qualifies it as an Aussie's aspirational car. For this and a swipe at the title of "pinnacle" I think the more deserving Aussie is the Barra Turbo Six. The final incarnation in 370Kws showed what a mass produced FULLY Australian chunk of engineering could really be - for Joe average! Thanks for the great work Paul - keep it up! (P.S: Fancy lumbering a ute with dangerous rain tyres as standard. A set of Michelin PS4s or Pirelli PZeros would have been much more appropriate and appreciated and given damn near as much fun in the dry and now slid of the road when it rained!)
I took a picture of the white W1 ute on the road in Melbourne. I contacted someone I knew and was advised it is the owner of Kevin Dennis Holden who owns the white one :)
My theory with the motors is maybe some where taken from corvettes that was wrecked or demo models that GM didn't need anymore. I can't wait till I get a job to build my VU so I can put a ls3 out of a VF and make some nice power
also why did you leave that car cover in the tray to bounce around like that, irrespective of how the raffle people presented the car to you, put that bag in the passenger compartment. it's a collectable piece. i don't know man, you kinda didn't pay this car justice with this video in my opinion. Still though, thumbs up for the fact that you got your hands onto it.
Pity you didnt have a track where you could do a 100-200km/h test. I reckon that big V8 would shine there, assuming a slick 2nd to 3rd change could be done 😁
M8 I luv the HSV GTSR W1 Maloo it's just a smooth engine got speed is stable, really nice foot work and mid to light steering so nice sucks they stopped making these awsome machines.
Nice video Paul 👍🏻 I used to have VE clubspoet R8 and these cars are similar to the American muscles, its rough, looks tough. While European v8 has better interior and handling, and faster.
Driving 66 years in Australia (or any other place ) I've only ever driven 2 GM cars. Dad's 53 FJ Holden Special (sold by My Speedy to Mr Racerly) was first - great car. Second was my NASHO Coburg SAS Army Depot FJ Holden Ute in Kaki . Living in USA & UK, never drove a GM car. No reason. Simply perchance.
@@Tk-ou9ec can’t drive a house, can’t pick up chicks with a house, no lawns to mow on the Ute no shitty neighbours to bother you, house can’t do track days, house can’t do massive skids, the list goes on and on lol
Sooo you could buy a McLaren Senna, a car that is built for the track and made by the most premium and exotic parts, or you could buy this, a ute from Australia with a Chevy engine I'd assume the reason there's more cars then engines sold is because either HSV got them before they stopped making them, or pulled them from C6 Corvettes
They said in the video that this was number 4 of 4. Generally number 1 of a limited edition run is the most valuable, but in this case, number 4 would be the last HSV/Holden ever made. If that's the case, they auctioned off the wrong car!
in hindsight whatever the automotive companys wanted as a subsidy from the government would be well worth it for all the expertise and engineering skills gained by manufacturers and subsidiaries in this country, the last holden was a really good piece of automotive engineering particularly with those L v8s from gm usa
How is my Subaru Forester XT STI only half a second slower from 0 to 100 when it has half the horse power and it only uses around 10L per 100km when cruising around? This Ute seems to have a ton of power that is wasted.
Nathan. These 'utes' are the traditional utility vehicle that did much to create modern Australia. No longer. Bigger vehicles do much of the heavy lifting in Oz. Stay safe mate. ps also lived in KY USA. :-)
I wouldn’t pay $1 for that interior. Beautiful engine. Nice aggressive exterior… that’s where the good bits end, but they’re probably the most important ones.
I find it funny that you can go up in the Holden and the HSV range all the way to this car, yet you still get halogen headlights and incandescent tail lights. The same lights you get on a base Evoke 3.0L V6 ute.
