There's a blue ex police Omega on eBay...

[GastronomicKleptomaniac]

... previously sold a few times to and from a certain Dorset based seller

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/286051491295?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=S8U8v2BrSZO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=RasGDlBbRaO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I have no affiliation with the seller other than considering putting a restraining order on myself so I don't buy it...

Ex Devon and Cornwall car... Wrong gearbox though

Not be long till it's slammed with a welded diff and doing donuts in a retail part car park!

[Doctor Gollum]

If Simon's had it for any length of time, chances are it's already got that T shirt...

Assuming of course that it still has the original diff

I think that was the last one he sold, was his daily,,,  Don't get the air filter they restrict the flow,and gets warm air sucked in, reducing Power...

Indeed original set up is very good👍

What is/was the function of the plastic covers in the headlining?

What is/was the function of the plastic covers in the headlining?

Quick access to the wiring etc in the roof ,strobes, siren, tracker ariels ,doughnut warmer 

[Doctor Gollum]

They're factory fitted and for equipment servicing access as DTB suggests.

The plod roof has a couple of extra braces in it along with different headlining and the panels hence no sunroofs.

The rest of the car is a base spec with everything available as an option. Bare minimum for facelift UK cars was Xenon headlights.

Special was effectively the trim level rather than anything particularly fancy. Climate and electric front windows/electric heated mirrors were standard as they were on any facelift car.

Most were V6 3.0 or 3.2 but diesel was an option and the dash/body wiring reflected the civilian version according to engine. So the body harness included all the wiring from the sunroof to heated rear seats and rear quarter glass alarm sensors on the estate... which made retrofitting everything child's play.

Any plod cars with sunroofs were obtained from retail dealers once Russelheim stopped taking orders and a couple of forces had the foresight to bulk order and stockpile in early 2003 hence the spattering of 04/54/05 cars.

Forces that missed the Omega boat went straight to the BMW E39.

There's no way anyone with a brain would go back to a manual after driving an automatic. I mean...why?

Exactly! 

I went back to driving a manual after driving an auto for years.
