[quote]We never had them in Tassie but when on holidays in Melbourne (as a kid) those XE 351 interceptors did it for me with the low ride height the ESP/ Ghia headlights. I recall seeing a canary yellow (almost orange one) with the black lower bumper, you just knew they were the business![/quote] The Victorian XE marked Police cars in the almost orange yellowish colour were painted Saffron. This was a factory Ford colour for XD, XE & I think was still available on the early XF range as well. It was not confined to Police/Government department orders alone as the general public could choose this colour as well. Some of the other states ordered their XD & XE's in Yellow Blaze which was an XB colour from years earlier. Kind of like the VH & VK Victorian cars that were painted Absinth Yellow which was off the earlier HQ & HJ Holden colour chart. The car in picture below with officer standing beside is Saffron, the other (obviously someone's project) is Yellow Blaze.
