well guys as far as i know they are"worcestershire" regestrations, a fleet management company called"white arrrow" used to PDI and regester a great many omegas for vauxhall motors press and demo fleet for all over the country. check your service books if you have still got it? demo cars were nearly always top of the range. living in the west mids and working in the trade and stamping a few service books you get to recognise certain cars that were"block"regestered. ford motor company also do it to this day and are easy to spot. hope this helps?

well it could be easy or quite difficult to impossable! bit like "friends reunited"" DVLA keep certain info(go on their site and put your reg number in)vauxhall keep some info like when you order parts or a radio code. also your service book, is yor omega a "local"car? in 1996 it may have been sent out to your area and been there ever since???

well if it was a norfolk vauxhall dealer then it may well have been serviced by them so prev owner and service details will be on their system, other than that previous owner? we do it a lot in our workshop and its surprising what a couple of phone calls can turn up! can solve a whole load of grief and money if you know what the car has had spent on it in the past!! good luck.......
