Hi all, just 'upping' this post from 4yrs ago! This car has now shown its head to me again and it's owner is gonna let me have it off of him as he wants it gone.

What kinda spec will it have? Manual? LSD? Fairly similar to my 3.2 I'd guess?

Thanks :y

Had a couple from TVP, in fact still got one of them, from the Police they all pretty much seem to be in reasonable nick, with good Engines and Mechanicals, would be good if it was a Manual not all were, if Manual expect 3.7 LSD, 3.9 LSD if Auto. 

There going back a bit now so what the Car has been up to since leaving the Force who knows.

Good luck with it, Saloon or Estate?.

It's the green saloon that was pictured earlier on in this thread, on steel wheels with hubcaps and apparently was a training vehicle. The car has been garaged for about 3 to 4 years now so hopefully it shouldn't be too bad with just some light work to get it going again
