I don't know, Al.

It was certainly attracting a lot of attention though. The guy who was driving it had the doors and the bonnet open for people to take pictures.

A group of us went to the Boston classic car show this aftenoon. H4 BBC was parked about three away from my MV6. We saw it arrive from the clubhouse/pub...... ::)

It wasn't part of the show but attracted more attention than some of the 'classics' on the showground.

Nobody even noticed my MV6.... :-\

The fella driving H4 BBC had two elderly women in the back. I noticed that when he got out he opened both rear doors for them.  Could they be Mrs Mayor and her friend?..........your guess is as good as mine, Al.

It is extremely rare to see an omega finished in Star Silver.

H4 BBC is owned by Boston Borough Council, it is our Mayoral civic car, she has done 84,000 miles from new, like Mr. Omega says, she is immaculate, and Alex, the driver was showing my friends under the bonnet, and yes I did see the MV6, as I thought yopurs was H4 to begin with. PS I`m the councillor for Wyberton :)
