They were, literally, made to special order for plod -- high end engine, low end interior spec and that unmistakalbe colour  -- white !!!  Plod stockpiled them when they went out of general production.

It was meant to be tongue in cheek ;).
I'd especially avoid a white ex-plod car & especially an Omega with 3 pedals  :y  :y  :y

Crap spec, a little up on miles, soon gonna cost lots to tax but well serviced 3.2 MANUAL, some of us like dancing on 3 pedals.
    I would'nt pay that much though even if i could.
   Would'nt it be fun to put a couple of cones in the boot, battenburg strips up the sides, plant a couple of unconnected ariels here & there & just park up & watch speeders Sh*t themselves?
   Not totally against autos but the 3.2 manual must lead on a bit!!! 8-)

normally manuals are faster than automatics so this should be faster than a 3.2 elite? :-/

I bet these cars give you loads of Bill's! ;D ;D

With three pedals who requires an engine!  ;D ;D

Sorry all, I have just woken up feeling in a really stupid mood! ::) ::)
It doesn't bode well for today at all.

Seriously, these cars are well maintained, but no doubt has been hammered in terms of high engine revs/speed, body panel damage (have you seen them ram other cars to stop them?!) and so many different drivers at the controls (NO, not at once!).  To pay almost £7k for one seems absurd 54 plate or not:o :o.

Lizzie Zoom :D :D
