Cool 2003/53 Vauxhall Omega Estate 3.2 V6 Special - Ex Thames Valley Police Armed Response

Vauxhall Omega 3.2 V6 Estate 'Special'




As used by Thames Valley Police as an Armed Response Vehicle, also as seen on Sky One's 'Road Wars'



A lovely, reliable and spacious car that has recently had the following work done:


Cam belt & Tensioner (replaced with Genuine Vauxhall items)

Aux Belt (replaced with Genuine Vauxhall items)

Water Pump (replaced with Genuine Vauxhall items)



Full Service inc:


Oil

Oil Filter

Fuel filter

Air Filter

Pollen Filter

Iridium Plugs

Coolant

Coil Packs (replaced with Genuine Vauxhall items)

Gearbox oil changed (replaced with Genuine Vauxhall item)

LSD oil (replaced with Genuine Vauxhall item)



Also has had the following done:


Front Wishbone rear bushes - Uprated and changed for Powerflex Polyurethane bushes

Front anti-roll bar bushes - Uprated and changed for Powerflex Polyurethane bushes

Rear wishbone doughnut bushes

Cam cover oil seals (replaced with Genuine Vauxhall items)

New 'blue tint top' windscreen - required for MOT

Silver handbrake & gear stick surrounds - As found in the MV6

New upgraded HiD headlight bulbs fitted into the factory spec Xenon headlights

LED Sidelights and rear number plate lights

All 4 speakers have been upgraded to new FLI door speakers, fitted into the original speaker mountings

Recent new rear tyres

Front tyres are still very legal with LOADS of tread left.

New rear Mintex pads and Discs



She also comes fitted with the ultra RARE proper 'Recaro' seats as found in the European models of the Omega Estate or 'Caravan' I fitted these after completely overhauling the interior to rid it of the poverty spec (GLS) interior that the Police vehicles come fitted with and also banishing any panels that had screw holes remaining from Police monitors and telecommunication equipment.


The car has the large plastic panels in the roof that were fitted from the factory to allow the Police to install their aerials, light bars and sirens, these are unobtrusive and don't really stand out in the interior.
She also has the Vauxhall/Police spec LSD rear Differential (both wheels lock to turn in the direction of travel)



AND she has a manual gearbox! Yes that right a manual 5-speed, none of that Auto rubbish!

Tow bar and Electrics

Irmscher front grill


6 months Tax
12 Months MOT

Full Thames Valley Police service history, plus recent history from myself and previous owner

Approx 163k on the clock.

The car is in a very good order considering her previous tasks hauling the 3 Police officers around and their equipment - Including the gun safe that had to be bolted into the boot! None to very little rust, a couple of car park dents - but that's nothing unusual for any car these days.


Overall, a lovely car.
