Matched pair of ex-service MV6s,  not something you see everyday :)

That is pretty cool!

What's with the small alloys - they look like 16's, I thought all MV6 had 17  :-\

Given they appear to match, I assume they're OEM, or by request of the police?

SVO produced cars, would be specified with steel wheels by the purchaser.

They're trims.  :) And as I had them on an Astra I reckon they're 15" ....  :-\

I just looked up the MOT history out of curiosity, one had 53k miles at last test, other was 93k miles.

Very interesting to see a matching pair, and very unusual they’re not listed as a ‘V6 Special’ and as an MV6 as per the earlier 3.0 police spec cars.

Makes sense, especially as they're likely to be running them over curbs during pursuits. Or, if they're lucky, over some 'orrible scrote at the end of a pursuit!  ;D

As soon as I saw the picture, I was thinking Olney.  In fact, even the picture might be Olney?

Greater Manchester Police VIP cars apparently. One already sold, probably heading for a new life (or death) as a drift machine over the water.
