1994 HSV SE 080

This car surprised me, as I hadn’t yet seen a red SE. Of the 234 built, this one is an automatic with under 200,000 km on the clock and, overall, appears to be in good condition. 
Offered in round 1 of the Auctions for $200 But didnt sell. 
Noting that Townsville is flooded, I'm not suprised.
Based on the VIN data, I believe this car is #080/234 or close to it. However, I can’t confirm that 100% without clearer photos of the build and order tag.

3. Differences Between the HSV and the SE
HSV (1993) Based on the Jackaroo S (base model).
Includes a HSV bodykit, SV5000-style wheels, and interior styling touches similar to early HSV Commodores (e.g. VN LS, VP Nitron).
Air conditioning is standard, but otherwise it has minimal factory inclusions.
The wiring loom allows for upgrades from higher-spec Jackaroos (like the XS), so additional features (power windows, central locking, etc.) can be retrofitted if you can find the parts.
SE (1994/1995) Still features a HSV bodykit and SV5000-style wheels, but no roof racks, spoiler, HSV badging or HSV interior.
Comes with “captain’s chairs” and unique SE styling.
Replaces the XS in the Jackaroo range, so it has many factory options: two-tone paint, power windows, central locking, air conditioning, and more.
The main HSV identification on the SE is an SE badge on the C-pillar (location and design changed from October 1995 onwards, when the SE Jackaroo received a midlife update. These vehicles are not HSV’s).









4. Auto vs Manual Gearboxes One major decision when buying any Jackaroo is choosing between automatic and manual transmission. Automatic (4L30E) Smooth shifting, easy to drive, and capable of light off-road work.
Sits comfortably at 110 km/h on the freeway.
Known Weakness: Needs an aftermarket transmission cooler fitted in-line with the radiator cooler. Poor maintenance can cause overheating and failure.
A rebuilt 4L30E can fail again after as few as 20,000 km if not properly cared for.
Rebuild Costs: Generally range from $3,000 to $5,000. Rebuild kits for the clutch packs start at around $600, up to $1,500 depending on required parts.
If you’re looking for a donor gearbox, the 4L30E from a 1992–1997 Jackaroo or a Holden Rodeo 4WD with the 6VD1 engine should fit. (Diesel auto gearboxes are not compatible.)
Towing: Strongly discouraged with the auto, as it increases the chance of overheating.
Fuel Consumption: IVO 15L/100kms Freeway – Premium 98

Manual Often considered the more robust choice.
The clutch pedal can be heavy if components (like the throw-out bearing) are worn.
Cruises comfortably at around 115 km/h, typically with minimal throttle input.
Great for towing. Many owners find the manual version outperforms the auto in terms of reliability and capability.
Mechanically, it’s nearly identical to a TS/T9 Rodeo manual setup.

5. Build Numbers and AvailabilityHSV (1993): 79 built (with rumours of up to 85). Confirmed sightings suggest identification numbers at least up to #82.
SE (1994/1995): 234 built, across four known colours (Red, White, Silver, and Maroon — not the official colour names).
In reality, both HSV and SE versions are rare. Current estimates suggest only about 13 complete 1993 HSV vehicles remain, and rough estimates for the SE are around 30+, with possibly half of those on the road. Because they are genuine HSV vehicles, they are also eligible for membership with official HSV clubs around Australia.
