Poor quality but still worth a look  :y
The Omega would have been under a year old here hard to imagine the Omega was ever new now its been out of production for so long  ::) :'(

I thought Omega's where quite a big car, but looking at that third pic, it's swamped by the Royal's Rolls or what ever it is.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

I think you'll find Her Majesty had her own Omega Estate at one time, used for transporting the Royal Corgis. I think it may have been at Sandringham. I'm sure I've seen a picture of her driving one somewhere.

I don't think she's joined this forum yet though  ;D

Great pictures thank for sharing them- the Queens car is a Bentley state limo, bought a model of it last year for the price of a well used Omega!

They featured a lot in Diana's funeral and Prince Edward's wedding IIRC.

Someone on ABS once told me that when the cars came back from their Royal stint that they had to be destroyed. I never knew if there was any truth in that or not.  :-\
