About

Background. The HSV Owners Club of NSW (incorporating HDT) Inc. welcomes car owners who have purchased these unique, Australian-built high performance vehicles. These cars are amongst the world’s fastest production sedans, giving performance, handling and comfort at half the cost of their European equivalent. All this whilst maintaining their identity as Australian cars built for Australian conditions. The culture of the Club is informal with an emphasis on family participation. Club activities are many and varied including: *     Sunday Runs *     Motor Sports including Supersprints *     Concourse and Show and Shine *     Motor Show and Promotional Displays *     Special Events including the national HSV Fest *     Weekends Away *     Driver Training, plus many other activities. The main aim of the Club is to create interest for all members on more than one level and that their families can also find excitement and enjoyment in the Club’s activities. Hence the motto of HDT Special Vehicles, “We Build Excitement”, evolved into our club motto, “ We Drive Excitement”. Additional benefits of membership include: * Sharing of technical information and resources *  Increased driver skills through driver training *  Compete in Supersprint rounds *  Being part of a united voice across every state of Australia and New Zealand *  HSV recognition and patronage of events   History The NSW Branch of the HDT Owners’ Club was formed in 1985 with eligibility for membership being open only to owners of vehicles improved by the former HDT Special Vehicles Pty. Ltd. In 1988 membership was extended to owners of Commodore and Statesman models enhanced by Holden Special Vehicles, and in 1991 the club changed its name to the HDT-HSV Owners’ Club of N.S.W. 2001 saw another name change and it is now named the HSV Owners Club of NSW (incorporating HDT) Inc. Our Club has a heritage starting with Peter Brock that is unmatched by any other car club in Australia.   Eligibility. Owners of genuine HDT or HSV plated vehicles are eligible to join the Club. The owner must present the car on the request of the Committee (if required) to substantiate the eligibility of the vehicle. HDT cars built after the Peter Brock ownership of the HDT company are not eligible, which means only HDT cars with a build plate number 4246 or earlier are eligible. If a vehicle is a VC or VH series but does not bear a HDT plate, it may be eligible to be plated. These vehicles are eligible for membership of the Club. In 2019 the Club voted to accept Chevrolet vehicles bearing an HSV build plate. A valid email address is required for membership as emails are the Club’s main method of communication with it’s members.   Membership There are several levels of membership available to suit everybody’s ownership and participation requirements. New members can join for either 1 year or 3 years. A 3 year membership will make a saving in membership fees and also save having to go through the renewal process for the next two years! Single Full Membership ($90 pa / $240 3 yr subscription) is for an owner of a genuine qualifying vehicle, while Family Membership ($100 pa / $270 3 yr subscription) has the same benefits as Full Membership but includes the member’s partner and children under 18 for only a slight additional cost.
