Preface lift steering wheel/airbag!  :-? :-?

[Welung666]

Ex-cop so standard fitment I believe.

Quite a few 'Specials' have pre- facelift steering wheels and airbags, don't know why but they do nothing to worry about 

[joshwyatt]

All ex police of that time have the same steering wheel as there was no need for the wheel mounted radio controls.

[Welung666]

It's not staying anyway, it'll get swopped for a genuine facelift wheel whe the rear electric windows go in

Ah! Never thought of that.

Yep, my old ex-plod FL had Pre FL wheel on it, but this one I've got now has the FL wheel on it.  From different forces though, so I think they differ from force to force...

Same it isn't a manual, or else I may have been very temped to get this for my missus!  I do quite like that colour red - would it be Mexico Red by any chance?  Seems a little bit deeper than Flame Red?

[damon80]

Or is it Morroccan Red?  I think it's a red named after a far flung place...! 

[joshwyatt]

Indeed it is 'Moroccan red' 
I've finally got enough info for you on P38's now, I'll PM you in a few days.

Cheers Josh - look forward to seeing the info 

[damon80]

Cheers for confirming the colour Josh/David - that would've kept me awake thinking of that!   

But it is a cracking colour - never seen another Omega in that colour before, and it's growing on me

I have a pic of this car in service & will try to post it on here later. Its not the same livery as the 53 pate it hasn't got the stripe down the side it has just police along the bottom & the met crest on the front doors, the word police in small blue letters on the bonnet & it has a different lightbar. It also had steal wheels when in service with no wheel trims. hope this shed's some light on this car.
