Scottish Specialist Cars (Trade Sales) sells selected, used vehicles to the trade, hand picked by our buyer who has over thirty years experience in the motor trade

If you were selling specialist cars, you'd think they'd stay away from cars that have been abused by Plod!  ::)  ::)
No mention of Plod in the advert either!  :-?
 :y  :y  :y  :y


and heated front screen too!?!?!? The dealer is obviously an expert!

We all know who the 1 owner is so will be poverty spec & led a "colourful life". However if the mileage could be proved, spec is easily upgraded maybe not to full Elite but enough for me. My only bugbear with Migs is that they never made a specced model in white. I love white cars.
    It's a late model 3.2 manual in the right colour with sensible miles & you'd have something almost unique & quick as break. I like it! 8-)

I thought so too, but some wizened oofer has suggested that upon termination of the omega, some forces kept a few unregistered cars to use later.

Buy it, park up next to a certain champagne gold toy box at Newant etc, distract the owner while you swap the goodies over. I'm sure he'd not notice till after you'd make a very quick get-away!!!   ::)  ::)  ::)  ::)

A couple of cars with similar spec went through the local auctions for £1100 last month. Wonder if this was one of them.

I'm in Edinburgh tomorrow. Happy to take a look on someones behalf if they are interested - bit pricey though for what it is.
