here is link to facebook add clicky
so i'm confused , was it a ex plod 2.6 auto elite  :o that still had the police lights in  ???
I thought  the one for sale may be on cloned plates but the rust bubbles on arches are the same  , or has it had the lights retro fitted and someone else is confused  :P

That car was never plod... Certainly not a service car, as it doesn't have the calibrated speedo.

Some forces did buy the odd Elite, but never a 2.6, and would never have had bumper lights on ;D

If I were on Facearseshitbook, then I would call the seller out as a lying scuzbucket...

I'm guessing Andy knows all about that car ... given he sold it not so long ago: http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=144230.0

Amazing that TVP must have put it into service since Andy sold it...  :y ;D ;D ;D

47 years, but I think there will be those on here with over 60 years.
63 years this year.

I have owned Vauxhalls for longer than I have held a full licence.
Seeing as I've had Omegas for over 15yrs, and a licence for a bit over 31, by the time I count in my Astra GTE year, Belmont months and Nova weeks, I too have had Vauxhalls for (just) the majority of the time I've had a full licence ;D

But I did have to think about it!

It is my old car. I bought it from Simon of PVS (police vehicle sales?) who bought and sold several ex police Omegas but I don't believe this one ever got abused by the police (the wiring loom was all still unmolested) .The carpet in the boot has a cut out in the middle to go round a big square box but that is because it came out of a car with a gun safe (or so I was told...........).
I spend most of my time nowadays listening to stories from my two little daughters about unicorns - I haven't got the emotional energy to spend on arguing about the provenance of a 16 year old car.
That said - if someone can find a clip from roadwars where my car makes a cameo appearance I would love to see it  :)
