Seen that photo about 3 years ago on here.

More tunnie detective work, tells me it was never Kent's car either.  ::)

But West Mercia Constabulary, as seen here with all the photos.

The image has been reversed as well. As POLICE reads the correct way, where as it should backwards unless viewed in a mirror.

Or rather it should say ECILOP, not POL   ICE ;D

Just trying to get to the bottom of it dear boy, as I knew I recognised it.  :y

Also wondering why he thought it was a Kent car, which took "them" (Kent, Mercia, Santa?) 2 years to write off? Based on 3 years given above. Despite it all happening over 6 years ago  :)  ;D

Not wanting to add fuel to this debate, but I have to agree with Tunnie and add I am not aware of Kent Police having Omega's.  Like Hampshire they tended to opt for Volvo Estates as traffic cars. :y :y
