In the UK, 'special' tends to mean special use, eg Police, ambulance, herse etc.

Most of these, herse aside, are pretty base models, usually with minor suspension mods.

Yes, Vauxall (well, Opel to be precise) made them for Police/Ambulance etc.

No, there was only ever retail mv6 and plod mv6.

You could order with the imrscher style kit to make it 'special'

but there was never an official model

probably because theyre of similar power though weight would be the MV6's disadvantage
