This is the Special Version made by Opel for the Police to test the 3.0 V6 before being released to the public. (they only got the 2.6)   

Yes, ok mate  ::) :-X ;D

Iirc, this was on ebay a few months back.

It's also at some point had a new front bumper, and is missing the headlight washers.
Having said that though, it is cleaner than most older ex Met vehicles about.

I was about to ask how you knew - then I noticed it's about 5 shades lighter (using the Pearl Drops scale) than the rest of the car...
