THE end is nigh for the Australian-built Commodore and the high-performance V8-powered Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) that take the venerable vehicle as their basis, but the bespoke car-maker is taking every opportunity to celebrate its colourful history.

In addition to the most powerful locally developed sedan in Australian history – the GTSR W1 – HSV has also wheeled out a limited number of 30 Years specials to acknowledge three decades of building some of Australian petrol-head’s favourite cars.

The five limited editions are based on the company’s existing range of 6.2-litre supercharged V8 sedans, wagon and ute but with some special aesthetic tweaks, revised exhaust system and a power boost for all but the GTS flagship.

We jumped aboard the Senator Signature luxury flag bearer of the 30 Years range for one last blast in Aussie-built, supercharged comfort.
