that i can see.

Its a 3.2 (special) normally means forces....but

Its got full leather and still has original stereo
Its an auto
its got cdx wheels and is badged as a cdx.

And as a 3.2, obviously not your normal police car...anyone have any thoughts what it may have been used for>?

Well most of the diplomatic cars i've seen have the original head unit in them, they usually run on 15" or 16" wheels and have an extra aerial fitted either on the rear wing or glass mounted. Sometimes there are a few buttons mounted around the armrest area and a pair of blues hidden behind the grill.
