We trashed it on the skid pan for years, I don't know where it finished up, it was green in colour

Ford, Holden and Nissan would give the company prototype cars for skid pan use only
I remember back in the mid 90's the Holden dealer out at/near Campbeltown had one of these in their showroom in green I believe alongside a blueprinted VR GTS/R.
I wonder if the Opel was the same car, cant have been too many imported.
