VF SS V Redline II Modes Explanation

I think it served two purposes because once the globe was blown, you couldn't see the speedo needle which was different than the normal VN fascia.

Link to a pic on here although this might be a later model like a VR:

Yes, the light illuminated the needle and the bit I recall, is why the light was wired to the ignition and not the headlight switch.

The late '91 BT1 option VN's had SS seats, and the used car yards would add the spoilers, stripes and badges and advertise them as an SS at an inflated price. The speedo difference was a guide for the less experienced to tell if the car was an SS or an ex-cop car!

They also had the option stamped BT1 under the bonnet.

Deceptive pricks car dealers are

Yes, BT1 was on the compliance plate. Many looked at them after hours in car yards and the speedo was easy to see. I think the BT1 speedo went to 200kmph and the SS speedo 220kmph. Those after an SS, would avoid the ex-cop car look a likes.

I think the SS seats, were in the late '91 white VN's that had the brighter white VP colour. SS seat BT1 option VP's were IRS, and the live axle VP's had the base Executive seats I recall.

Speaking of the IRS BT1 option VP, the police pack wheels had more offset, I think +26 and the live axle wheels were +40.
