Does that mean then if I swap the spare wheel on my Elite for an alloy I will also have a 300bhp police spec car. loads of toys, sat and fully electric seats.

Cor, I did'nt know uprades were that simple.

is it short, or just the angle it's being looked at?

Shame the pictures are so rubbish as well that you can't actually read the badges on the back.

oh and if it's missing a passenger side headlamp washer, than that'll fail the mot - so saying he can't see any reason why not is a bit of a contradiction!

Well I've just sent him a question ....

Quote

Can you confirm the BHP output as AFAIK the highest BHP was the 3.2V6 at 217 BHP so what has been done to this to get 300 BHP ?? Also, do you have the missing headlight washer as that will cause an MOT fail ... headlight washers are mandatory for HID lights ...

Regards

Entwood

I wonder what the answer will be ....

Edit ...... This is it ...

hi the last owner did all the mod's he spent over 3000 on just the engine i am trying to find out what he done to the letter but he is a bit hard to get hold of i believe he put new heads but that's all i know at the moment (cat 3 heads) and i don't think it is a 3.0 anymore it is very fast i have had big engine cars (2.9 2.8 3.0 3.4) all my life and i was having a hartatake when driving it, i do not have the washer for the headlight but it is a real kit so you can just take it off for the mot or you can pick one up from ebay for cheap i didn't know the exact bhp but was told it was around 300 that y i put around 300 you are welcome to come see and start it but cannot drive it as i have no insurance thanks will put more info on when i get in touch with the man

I did ask for a breakdown of the mods as i have a genuine 263bhp (with printout) myself ,and have been told this is near to all i will get, he could not produce the facts and said the engine mods were done by a previous owner...

You cant drive another car under your own insurance unless that car is insured itself, I guess he has lapsed the insurance

As KW said, if you are insured to drive "any" other car. Bur a lot of policies only allow 3rd party cover, and as mentioned only the the car is insured by the owner.

My mate who moved my GLS last week for example has a trade policy, so he is insured regarless (up to his limit and limitations)

Common misconception, it comes down to each individual policy wording.

Being a yoof, DOC cover is but a dream to me, though...

Monza · « **Reply #13 on:** 09 July 2009, 22:04:34 »

Yep seems most policies do not allow third party cover for other (insured) cars unless you are 25 plus

and of course you need a fully comp policy to get that anyway!

Defo a long plenum...which it should indeed be as they were introduced late 97 on the 3.0 engines when they brought in mini facelift models

Not necessarily. I have just taken TPFT insurance and have the privilege of driving other cars but only if they are insured by the owner.

My Swiftcover Insurance clearly states that the other Car needs to be Insured.

My MoreThan Insurance says any other Car (not owned blah, blah), when I checked with MoreThan they comfirmed that the other does not need to insured but must be legal, They also pointed out that the Car would not be insured the minite I leave the Car.

I Asked if he had a 5 litre chevy block in it.... he more or less said yes.......
hi all i know is that this was a police ordered one from vauxhall that was never taken by them then was sold to normal person as a special edition
then the last owner sent 3000 pounds to get more power out of it
if the 5 litre conversion looks the same as the normal engine then that's what he most have done
i have driven a lot of big engine cars i mean 2.9 3.0 3.4 and this has made me have a hart attack
thanks

I note in his ad he states that he knows about these cars - because he's an ex officer.

Given the way the ad is worded, I'm personally not convinced

Still, at the right price, and with any police markings removed, the car could be a laugh
