Hi all
Been away for bit ( long story )
In short the car has to go, I had so many plans of restoring this back to fully liveried show piece
Anyway here goes
The vehicle is a bit of a rarity in that it only serviced the police for approx 18 months when it was retired and purchased by an elderly lady in Henley on Thames as she liked the look of it, It spent the next 10 or so years pottering round the roads of Henley covering around 10 miles a day until I purchased it in April. The car was based at Bicester as the M40 patrol vehicle, it was one of the very last vehicles to carry the jam roll livery I have the police service records, and the bill of sale to the lady that purchased it now having 2 previous keepers
Overall body work not just for ex police but for any car of this age is very good, it has all police arial holes plugged in the roof and in the door trim, interior wise it carries the special (cd) interior inc the police roof lining, there is several mounting holes for there equipment in the dash and surrounding areas and the ash tray is missing as was previously taken up by equipment
I have mountains of paperwork from Vauxhall where it was serviced and MOTed detailing every part ever replaced over the last 10 years, the CDR 2005 was purchased from VX by the previous keeper, I have all the manuals and key codes available for the stereo and the full owners wallet and pack, I also have the original bronze key ring from the police carrying the police identification number
The car had new cam gaskets last year, with receipts to prove, on purchasing the vehicle I had new plugs, new fuel filter, oil filter, air filter, full oil change carried out
Good Bits
Only 2 previous keepers
Overall very good condition
Engine runs and drives perfectly

Stacks of paperwork and receipts
Full service just carried out
Overall originality of the vehicle

Bad Bits
CAT sensor fault codes showing ( the previous owner advised these had been on purchasing in 2003) receipts to prove multiple VX investigations carried out, as it doesn't effect the day to day use it was left as is
Interior has various holes
Missing ash tray
Passenger arch lip has surface rust shown in pic, you have to look from underneath as unable to see side on
MOT expired end of June ( due to no other reason than I'll health I unfortunately unintentionally allowed it to expire )
Front passenger wishbone knocking over bumps
Slight bubble to aerial plug
Age related marks here and there
Scratches scuffs to front and rear bumper
