Post by: OmegaAnglesey on 06 October 2012, 22:03:24
Poor quality but still worth a look  :y
The Omega would have been under a year old here hard to imagine the Omega was ever new now its been out of production for so long  ::) :'(

I thought Omega's where quite a big car, but looking at that third pic, it's swamped by the Royal's Rolls or what ever it is.

I think you'll find Her Majesty had her own Omega Estate at one time, used for transporting the Royal Corgis. I think it may have been at Sandringham. I'm sure I've seen a picture of her driving one somewhere.

I don't think she's joined this forum yet though  ;D

They featured a lot in Diana's funeral and Prince Edward's wedding IIRC.

Someone on ABS once told me that when the cars came back from their Royal stint that they had to be destroyed. I never knew if there was any truth in that or not.  :-\

   There used to be a member on ABS who had the ex royal Viceroy estate, a car that was not available from Vauxhall as a production car. They had it taken to a coach  builders as a Xarlton esyate, took the front panels off and replaced them with the Viceroy ones. It was finished in a special colour, Green, that was a royal household colour. Prehaps the Omega estate replaced it.
On the subject of the model cars, is the rolls hearse a copy of the one that was on Only Fools And Horses? if so, I workrd on that one years ago, welded up the main chassis rails and replaced the out riggers. It used to have a road tax classification of "restricted HGV" due to its weight
