Didn't you know the Police ran them that way to save on weight so they were faster INNIT.. ::)

It's also at some point had a new front bumper, and is missing the headlight washers.
Having said that though, it is cleaner than most older ex Met vehicles about.

LOL why does it need a auto gearbox if as stated "engine and running gear in full working order" ::) ??? :-\

I was about to ask how you knew - then I noticed it's about 5 shades lighter (using the Pearl Drops scale) than the rest of the car...

Going rate for a good AR35 is £150 - £200, depending on mileage. :y

Hand me the spanners :)

So thats £500 for the motor
£150 / £200 for the box
£100 ? for fitting
knocking on abit..£800- ish, plus any other bits and pieces that may need doing.
is it worth that ?

I saw one of, if not the last Met Police Omega go through auction 18 months ago or so. Direct from them, body very rough...but seemed mechanically perfect. That sold for £600ish plus comission.
If this one could be bought for £350, I think it'd just about be worth it...but I'd have to replace the front bumper or at the very least fit the headlight washers - they are a must!

Got my 3.2 elite from auction back is september for £450 only 50,000 miles and pretty immaculate
