£1900 for a breaked about ex-plod? He's having a bobby.

Would have thought he would have at least put proper mv6 seats in.

Easy enough to pick up similar facelift 3.0 manual plods for £700

It's an ex-police vehicle, look at the calibrated speedo and I very much doubt that the indicated mileage is quite accurate :-/ :-/

One to be avoided I would think ;) ;)

Good call!
They certainly are, and I know for a fact that they don't bolt straight in, so maybe some concern about safety. :-/

Awful, ex police, slam panel not painted, rust under the new paint, butchered interior, pre-facelift door mirrors, rust all under rear, and it states Mileage is not varified by us clear indicator it's been give a haircut me thinks.

no attempt to feed cold air to that chav filter.


I just hope that whoever buys it never finds this thread, as they may realise they have bought an overpriced crock of shite

You would think they would get more money if they were honest about its history, its so obviously ex plod.

Does anyone really buy chavved up Omegas? I love that they say it doesnt smoke excessively, is that ebay speak for yes, it does smoke but you can still see the car behind you (just)?  ;D :D

Dont see the point of the oil /coolant cap pics either, not exactly hard to clean them before photos.

If that car was 89k genuine on it i'll become a lifetime member of the caravan club  :D

Thats not a facelift car at all is it............???

Look at the armrest and wing mirrors

Wouldnt touch it with a barge pole...........

I just had to ask the seller:

Hi.
Is this car ex plod,as it looks like it. Why hasit got pre-facelift door mirrors and centre console, yet appears to be a facelift car? The seats look like they are from a Senator which I know don't fit properly, so maybe not so safe - what was wrong with the original MV6 seats? There looks to be rust under the paint on the OSR wheel arch.
What else is being hidden and how can you confirm the mileage?
Regards.

Awaiting reply...........

Had a new front bumper by the looks of things, that or he's removed the headlamp washers and bogged the holes up.

It's certainly had a good beating with the chav stick.
