Possibly, or possibly just realistic about the type of person most politicians become.

Don't recall seeing that floating about as the mayoral limo.They did have into the late '90s at least use a Senator based Eagle Statesman then seemed to switch to Jaguars,suppose I must not have noticed the Omega.I do like the advert though :y

First Omega I've ever seen with back seats showing wear ;D

Such a shame that, being the rarest of rare colours, finding a replacement front wing and boot lid will be difficult...

That would be the bloated overweight local politicians and their equally bloated wives. :y

Seen that car several times it was actually based in Boston Lincolnshire, last time I saw it was the beginning of the year always looked very well cared for had a private plate but afraid I can't remember what it was , the was an article in the local rag about it being replaced & the chaffeur was singing its praises.
