Nice. I remeber these well. Commodores of that era were generally 6 cyl autos without power steering. Cloth front seats and vinyl rear. They were the basic SL model and ran steel wheels. The VH model had 4 wheel disc brakes. Any more cars in your collection?

Yeah - they were well into my service. The vehicles when I joined were HQ holdens, grey with a single red dome light on the roof and the word 'POLICE" angled on the front doors.
I can still recall the regos of the I cars - HR451 and HR452. 451 was an auto and 452 manual.
Keep them coming!

Thanks for the comments - Re Jack's question, I have plans of doing a 1994 VR Holden Commodore (the hard thing with the VH commodore, is the long search for certain things to complete the project. (P.s. Its based in Auckland for anyone thats interested). But It has been a rewarding project so far.

I think I remember you posting on TradeMe for some parts?
Keen to bring it down to the King Country in March 2010, its our Fire Brigades Centennial and were organising a Parade and Display day.
You might get a bit of work in the TV industry with her?

Certainly brings back memories - here are a couple:
"Smoke in the cockpit" - Electrical system caught fire.
"Off Road" Driver became "spatially disorientated" while "checking out suspicious activity" on a partially completed motorway, mounted the kerb and knocked the front wheels backwards by about 10 cm. Luckily it turned out that the site had not yet been gazetted as a road, and for the purposes of the Transport act was still legally a field. No chance of a charge of careless use. Shame!!

" LOL... Didn't you guy have CD players in your units....?
Funny enough I have just found a couple of orignial holden radios, I'll re wire the CD player into the glove box... I agree its something that never looks right in old classic cars...
