I found a car you may be interested in

There's an ex Berkshire plod "road wars" saloon for sale in Newton Abbot asking £1,250 I assumed it was a manual
listed as a 2009  but Date registered 21 March 2003
"Omega ex road wars police car from berkshire high miles fully loaded  with history  alloys electric  windows still  has the police lights  in not for road use though fully wax oiled  new shocks springs bat tyres brakes quick car may px swap"

MOT check says 213k @ MOT in Jan this year (KU03WVC)

here is link to facebook add clicky
so i'm confused , was it a ex plod 2.6 auto elite  that still had the police lights in 
I thought  the one for sale may be on cloned plates but the rust bubbles on arches are the same  , or has it had the lights retro fitted and someone else is confused 

[Doctor Gollum]

That car was never plod... Certainly not a service car, as it doesn't have the calibrated speedo.

Some forces did buy the odd Elite, but never a 2.6, and would never have had bumper lights on

If I were on Facearseshitbook, then I would call the seller out as a lying scuzbucket...

I'm guessing Andy knows all about that car ... given he sold it not so long ago: http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=144230.0

Amazing that TVP must have put it into service since Andy sold it...

that's what I thought DG because it's a devil's work an auto box
may be interesting for Andy to see where it went
maybe the new buyer will  join OOF with their new "road wars car"

Boy, will they be disappointed

47 years, but I think there will be those on here with over 60 years.

63 years this year.

[TheBoy]

I have owned Vauxhalls for longer than I have held a full licence.

Seeing as I've had Omegas for over 15yrs, and a licence for a bit over 31, by the time I count in my Astra GTE year, Belmont months and Nova weeks, I too have had Vauxhalls for (just) the majority of the time I've had a full licence

But I did have to think about it!

It is my old car. I bought it from Simon of PVS (police vehicle sales?) who bought and sold several ex police Omegas but I don't believe this one ever got abused by the police (the wiring loom was all still unmolested) .The carpet in the boot has a cut out in the middle to go round a big square box but that is because it came out of a car with a gun safe (or so I was told...........).
I spend most of my time nowadays listening to stories from my two little daughters about unicorns - I haven't got the emotional energy to spend on arguing about the provenance of a 16 year old car.
That said - if someone can find a clip from roadwars where my car makes a cameo appearance I would love to see it 

[dave the builder]

so your confirming that the strobes etc are retro fitted by the friendface seller 
boot mats are transferable ,maybe from an actual ex plod car by Simon into your old non plod omega
