The NSW ones were white and pale blue,If there was a 5.0 yellow VL BT1 it would of been in Victoria and to date I havnt seen a picture of a yella V8 VL Victorian chaser either.

I would put money on the Victorian cops only ordering turbos for Highway patrol work,imagine being a rookie cop in 1986 getting into one. Looks like the VK was the last yellah 5.0 chaser..
