Thinking....if that was an '05 3.2,can you imagine the feeding frenzy that would kick off? but a Desmond with a tow bar...just doesn't do it for me :'(

Definitely an interesting find, seen a couple of 04 reg over the years, but never 05. Would be nice to see this doing the rounds in a few years at shows etc.
Also, one of these days the only Omegas left will be manual 3.2s if the current trend continues, totally misrepresentative of production. A bit like Carltons... according to what you see at Billing 75% of Carlton production was LCs, the remaining were 12 and 24v GSi 3000s. No-one wants to save a 1.8 GL with wheel trims, which is a shame, because those were the stalwart of the big Vauxhall range for many many years, and the best Taxi ever.
I always walk past the Lotus Cortinas, Mini Coopers, etc at Classic Car shows, toward the base model Viva, Chevanne, the stuff that made the country 'tick', because they're the rarities. :)

I remember when I used to work at a Vauxhall main dealer we would get sent a monthly trade mag.that listed new car regs by make,model and one time in the early 2000's it listed 1 senator 24v being registered if that's still about will be worth a pretty penny.

Wow! Not dissimilar, I seem to recall the last TL Bedford was registered in something like 2005, possibly around 15 years after it was built.

She has just reassured me I am a 5yr old. So only at elementary maths.
As to your postcount, my maths isn't good enough. Nor did I write it down. Oh well.
