    Default VX SS Identification?

    Hi my brother in-law just purchased a vx ss, its a 5.7ltr, auto ect ect....anyway i was looking at the id tags on it, and it states it is a "p/car". My question is, was all vx ss`s listed as a "p/car" (which i gather means pursuit car) as cop cars were ss`s... or is it in actual fact a ex cop car? I`ve tried searching the forum but cant find much on actual id`s of tags. If anyone knows of any links where it states the codes and stuff, please put them up for me to read. The car is a purple colour too which the previous owner reckons was rare, im not even sure if it came out in that colour or not?

    i know the earlier cop cars were tagged as Bt1, thought they might have changed things with the later commodores, i wasn`t sure. Thats why i had asked the question.

    as stated above, i dunno about newer model commodores, it should have BT1 stamped on the compliance plate, my old VS ex cop car did anyways. i assume that wouldnt have changed for newer cars.

    edit: just seen the post above, i jumped the gun a bit.
