Hi Andy, and welcome.  If you are seriouse about this motor (remember a 3 litre is thirsty) is got to be worth running a HPI on it for about £42

Howdoo, Andy.  Congrats on the new arrival and welcome to what is the best source of 'Meega info available, virtually real time, on t'interweb!!

The car on e-bay.  Like others have said, something does not add up to me.  

The car is being advertised as a Police spec MV6.  The miles seem a bit off, to me.  Contact West Mercia HQ, asking for the garage/fleet manager, and ask nice for a run down of the car over the 'phone.  Explain why you are asking and theres a good chance that you will get an honest answer.  

It has the manual heater controls - OK so far.
No rear spoiler - still OK
No sunroof - still OK!!
Alloys - If it is the real deal Police MV6, then its got alloys that are non standard for a cop car.  The real ones are steels and hubcaps!!   :-/
Speedo - as far as I can see, does not have the IRS calibration sticker.  Ask for a close up piccy.  If its got 5 mph increments and no sticker, then its either not as advertised or its got a replacement speedohead.  I would suspect the latter!!

As always, Caveat Emptor, and only spend what you can afford to loose.

Broocie

Good spot on the speedo but if a CID car then it wont have one ( I served 10 years in the filth)

On the other hand your typical CID wont be running around in a V6 motor. Possible a surviellance car hence the dark colour? ? ? ?

As it is I'm desperatley trying to contact a guy on the 'other' vauxhall forum who has a nice 2.5 cd for sale.

I would be thinking more SB than CID, poss even F/A as West Mercia is a national training centre for F/A.  Ask for piccies of where the gun safe mounts were in the boot or under the rear armrest.

Speedo - If supplied as Police MV6, then would suggest that its got all associated bells and whistles or not.  I know that our SB cars were Police spec 2.5 GLS's but still had the cally speedo.
