I wouldn't think anyone would have pic's man. Most kid's seem to think that every "BT1 Bro" is an ex Police example, when in actual fact many are ex R.T.A car's. If more people knew this, all the "hype" would die down...

I love the "adjustable steering column" listed in the options. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Reviving old thread. I have found a vlt that im interested in buying. The seller claims that is it a manual turbo "RTA BT1". Could you guys confirm to me if it really left the factory as turbo manual car thanks. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nope. Dude's lying to ya mate. It came out as a non turbo manual. Turbo man codes are LW5 (eng) and MX7 (Trans), and it's not a BT1 either, should be stamped -BT1 after the body number. Also, Absinth yellow paint code is 1D008, that paint code is for a different yellow colour which I think was an option for any car, its slightly lighter than the original BT1 yellow (commonly called canary yellow by noobs!)

Doubt it was even ex RTA as they would have ordered the BT1 package. Unless he has the original books.
