Hey all, My brother purchased himself an ex Police car... No, sorry Aaron - it's not a BT1, and no, it's not yellow!! I believe it is known as a 9C1 - It's a VY II Commodore Wagon. Here are some photos - note the quality isn't that great as they are off my phone. As it was soon after purchase - In the first 2 photos it had super super low coils in the front and some super low sedan coils in the rear. Turns out it was too low in the back and the springs weren't stiff enough so they were changed out for super low wagon coils when the VE mags went on. Photos as it is now, with VE SS 18's: And now... As a special treat just for Aaron... Haha... Glad the 19's are back on now... Although it was interesting trying to locate some traction with the 15's... a few hairy moments pulling out of intersections... Good times! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
