The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Yes, it was an experimental variant - the hope was that if the door was armoured then they could dispense with the costly and sometimes problematic ballistic glass needed for the front and rear screens and side windows. :y

£1500 for an Omega with no tax, no MOT, it needs a new cambelt and by his own admission the tensioners are rattling? Yet he still thinks he can get £1500 for it? He's either confident it's that good, or he's a cock.
