200 Series with a difference
« on: June 06, 2016, 09:04:21 PM »
Coming over the Westgate bridge into Melbourne today and spotted a red 200 series stopped over the other side where the onramp is, with another car in front of it. Bullbar, snorkel etc etc. It was the light setup that got my attention. Blue & Red flashing ones to be exact.  Undercover Vicpol Cruiser that looks like any other setup. Wouldn't pick it out on the road.

Watch out Victorians

QLD also have a couple of dark grey 200 series cruisers as well, but it’s my belief they are driven by the tactical response unit.

I have on good authority that quite a number of 200 series cruisers were gvm upgraded here in QLD to "accommodate" the personnel standing on external extremities of the tac vehicles..........
