Curious car, 3.2 but on baby wheels and no calibrated speedo... And leathe.

Seems a reasonable price , would have to see it " in the flesh" though.

Same colour as my old 2l PFL. Loved that car.

The Met weren't the first owners. When GM announced they were going to stop Omega production, TVP bought almost all the Special production from the last two months. The Met were behind the curve and had to buy whatever they could from the retail network (most of their larger cars were BMW 530ds at this point). This is why TVP had several 04/54 reg Omegas but the newest Met cars were 53.

Joff had an Elite 3.2 of theirs complete with CID and 17" six spokes... Similar age/reg and again a two keeper car.

Probably an ex dealership/VX management car retro fitted with plod 15" wheels/trims.

Zero options on it too... No CID for example. Suspect it was a Royal Protection car. Prince Charles had a manual 3.2CDX Estate in the same colour.

Prince Charles had a manual 3.2CDX Estate in the same colour.

He didn't join the OOF though... 

Or did he?

Malcolm is suspicious enough to make you wonder

Joking aside, that car was mentioned when it was put up for sale

Yes, I have to agree there, but someone will possibly/probably buy it.

Green Elite used to be owned by the same guy that I bought my ex GMP-VIP MV6 from, apparently when he bought the estate it only had 2 destinations in the Sat Nav, Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace. He put all his cars on steel wheels, hence the strange combo. Mine is going back onto 17"s.
I would have liked to buy the estate as well, but it wasn't for sale then
