    bt1 is on the build plate
    it is an SL, it spent the first 6-12mths having its guts flogged out like it was a stolen car.
    and there should be puke all in the back seat from the drunks and blood from the uncooperative crims and it's got FE2 suspension. and who knows it may have the infamous ** COP CHIP**
    so yeah a pretty appealing car, "you just want one"
    Nobody wants to play with me

    lol, if you look around on the calaisturbo forums you're pretty sure to find some nutter who'll pay you some ridiculous amount of money for it...

    personally i don't see the big attraction to the bt1's, they've been flogged, abused (as mentioned above) and the cop mods are all 20years old so you'll have to replace the shocks, suspension, brakes and lsd anyway...

    the distinct advantage is where??

    sure...
    having said that i could take just about any exec or berlina and call it a bt1 and unless you took a peek inside the engine bay, 99.999999999999999999% of people would be none the wiser.

    ahh but each to their own i suppose...

    It probably is an Interceptor then, especially if you needed a breaker bar to crack the wheel nuts.
