But 56k on an 8 yr old car  :o

56K may actually be correct if it's been used for training....It may have been mostly used on the track  :-?

But that is definately the strangest dash i've ever seen in an Omega.....

I think (well hope) it's a mistake, as the mileage is listed as 56k but shown as 52k on those clocks. In addition the lowest marked speedo I've seen on a miggy is 140MPH ...

Also take a close look at the large clocks picture...then take a very very close look at the picture taken of the inside from the drivers side,the big clock picture doesnt have the large plastic front the omega clocks do and the second pic you can see the fuel gauge in the correct side...on the far right hand side.

Hmm dont think id want to pay £800 odd for that.... ;D

Very sceptical of the milage on this one most Force driving schools dispose of the cars with at least 90k on the clock. Unless of course its had a special role such as used on a skidpan but even then they are usually retired patrol cars or in the case of the Metropolitan Police Vauxhall's ex Omega test fleet from the Millbrook testing ground.
