Also, the photos show that the car is definitely the ex-Grice ETCC car and not an ex-HDT car as suggested elsewhere (the Roadways build plate is there on the glovebox).

However, O'Brien's later VL had a VL dashboard, no Roadways build plate (not put onto the new dash, or not the Roadways VK at all?) and had a great, big 'HDT' logo on the steering wheel. Don't quite know how to explain that...

EDIT: Agreed KA, agreed.
The car definately has Roadways/Grice look (stance) about it especially the Grice spec SAAS steering wheel
Did any other spotters notice the OPEL Senator? styled front guards or wings (depending which part of the world your from) on the front of the Aussie VK Commodore? Nearlly the same car I know!
