This one?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-OMEGA-ELITE-3-2-V6-AUTO-MIDNIGHT-BLACK-/271749095962?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3f4582221a

No VIC marker, and previous keeper on V5 acquired it on 4/12/2001 (date of registration) but address given is Vehicle Fleet Manager, summat, PO Box 513?, Liverpool, L?????. Can't quite read it as resolution of pics is poor.

Does GMP have their admin office in Liverpool? :-\

No calibrated speedo marker, no equipment holes anywhere visible, sunroof??? ???, satnav, bose??
Maybe a Staff car for taking the Assistant Chief Constable to the pub, but surely not an unmarked service vehicle :-\

Wouldn't be the first time Ive heard the Seller claim 'its an Ex Police Omega' when it wasn't  ::)

If it was used as an Unmarked Vehicle, I would expect to see a Calib Clock in there.

Joffs ex Met Elite estate is civilian spec :y

This one was a job car, but registered from new to a Po Box in Liverpool... not sure where GMP keep the records office... anyone know? Is it/was it in Liverpool?

If you zoom in on the paperwork you can make out some address details on the front page of the log book :y

Services shown date back to 2009, claimed change of keeper in 2007 so service history checks out (subject to receipts/invoices)...

There is also damage to the grommet where the main body loom enters the engine bay between the pollen filter and power steering resrvoir, which is indicative of plod wiring. Grill has been painted at some point too...

The thing that doesn't make sense is why a GMP car was registered to a PO Box in Liverpool :-\ That said, one of the postcodes I tried caused my tablet to crash :-\ damned if I can remember which though, and possibly a coincidence ::)

The address it is registered to does exist, which is summat...

If car was used by drugs squad or the like for undercover work they wouldn't want a scally being able to check if it was plod or not easily.

No not me, Got what i wanted a week ago  :y Wonder if he pulled it owing to being made a offer.. :-\ :-\

But i agree with others egay is a pain,you bid then when it gets near to the end the seller pulls out because he has done a back door deal or the bidding was not going the way they wanted it to. :-\
