i have a hsv senator.. full senator kit power windows everything.. but.. on the compliance plates it has a number then BT1... ppl keep telling me that it cant be rite.. but isnt it illegal to mess with the plates like that...

Unless it's a fake HSV ie just a body kit and interior fitted to a BT1 pack. Does your speedo go up in increments of 2 or 5 mate ?

Does it have an HSV build plate???

sounds like it could be a mok up u should check up on it im sure there is a number u can call to find out if its an original or not

yeah sounds like it is a mok up 4 sure. espesially if it does have hsv build plate

unfortunately i think you should edit your post and not call her a senator... this is why i hate mockups!!!

It looks like you have the pursuit vehicle. Those cars wre modified for police work (standard engines though). They also had an HSV compliance plate. You can go on HSV's website and ask them a question on their Q&A page. They will send you an email back with the answer.

You can go on HSV's website and ask them a question on their Q&A page. They will send you an email back with the answer. What would HSV do if the engine was left standard? Are you sure about HSV modifying cars for police as I've never heard of this in any state?

HSV carried out mods to these cars for Holden that the Police required specially for them. Things like FE2 suspension, engine sump guard and long range fuel tank with guard, beefed up transmission, recalibrated speedo, calais interior light, berlina drivers seat (cars were executive based) etc. List goes on. If you have the book "HSV 1988-1991 A complete Guide to HSV" this will tell you more about them starting at page 33.

Amazing considering Holden did all this themselves on VLs and many other models: the GMH BT1 and 9C1 pack So on which series did HSV do this for Holden? BTW: To me this 'Senator' is clearly a fake

Thought he said 'Senator'...yep he said Senator.

From VN. If you don't believe what I write, read the HSV book. Like I said, page 33 on. HSV would have taken away pressure from Holden's assembly line. Just like Holden By Design do today.
