You can search either by vehicle make and model or by film/tv series.

Here's the one for the Vauxhall Omega...more available for the Opel and Cadillac models;

interesting read josh,had a look at some of the cars that I have owned from way back

[SJKOO01]

There's been more Omega's in celluloid than I thought 

Mind you, who ever owns W942, must of had quite a bit of work there way, as in quite abit of camera shots !.

Couldn't find OY52 though

  indeed Mike...I must admit though, I am very sad when it comes to police vehicles in film and TV productions, as 99% of the time...they're terribly inaccurate. They use the wrong type of cars, or wrong markings...but I suppose to most people if it says 'Police' on it, that's good enough.

It's not just Police vehicles that they get wrong Josh.

I've seen plenty of films where it's supposed to be a particular model of car, but they've just put the 'sport', or 'high power' bits on to look like the real deal.

Your right about the Police vehicles though, as most viewers will just see Police, and think nothing of it.
Still nice to see Omega's been used though

5 Series BMW's and Astra's are what gets me in the bill. 99% of the Astra (H) are pre-facelift models on 08,58,09, and 59 plates, nor do they have the right interior trim, nor the correct wheels. The 5 series BMW's they use, most are on a 59 plate, now 530d's which the Met use had chrome slats on the grills after a 2005 '55' plate as did all 6 cylinder BMW models after a 55 plate, so that's wrong for a start, they're all pre-LCI models so they have the wrong interior, and the wrong lights, along with the wrong bumpers, boot, oh and they have 18" style 124 alloys, the police use 17" style 138. Little things bug me.
