Sunbar ◊ 2012-05-18 20:12	The car is a Vauxhall fleet or development car. (I had another Vauxhall fleet car 'G??? OUE' an Astra GTE) from Wikipedia possible data ? Technical data of Opel Senator B (1987–1993) Irmscher 4.0 i C40SE Engine: Iinline 6 24V Displacement:3983 cc

OUE' an Astra GTE) @sunbar - just a wild thought - during your Vauxhall years, did you ever come across a bloke called John Brundle?? His then wife worked as admin in DTV, and he did some stuff with DTV and co-driver on works Vivas in late 60s RAC and other UK rallies. Had an orange Viva GT which he said was the last made and had a development 2.3 FE engine fitted.
Sunbar ◊ 2012-05-19 10:32	130rapid wrote Maybe it spent the end of life as tuning monster. My guess is that Vauxhall were able to order one or more RHD Senators with an Irmscher spec that would only normally be available for Opel products. Vauxhall sold a lot of cars for Police use and had a permanent police car demonstrator fleet, so perhaps they considered offering a 4 litre engine to Police forces? dsl wrote @sunbar - just a wild thought - during your Vauxhall years, did you ever come across a bloke called John Brundle??

My contacts were mainly with Opel as I worked on the Engineering and Development side of things in the 1970s and 1980s when Opel were in control. -- Last edit: 2012-05-19 10:33:35

It's possible idea. The police sleeper with standard exterior and beefy heart. So "4.0 Irmscher Police Package"? It happened even in Eastern Europe block. Nice example -> GAZ M-20G Pobeda with ZIM (3.5 litre, 90 HP) engine. Around 600 pcs made in 1950-1958, for special purpouses [MGB, later KGB].
dsl ◊ 2012-05-19 13:49	Seems Irmscher Senators could be built on Vauxhalls - http://www.carlton24v.co.uk/literature.htm , http://www.carlton24v.co.uk/irmscher.htm in 3.6 and 4.0 versions with bodykits encouraged but not compulsory. Not sure if we should go strong on this being definitely Police Spec - it might just have been a convenient car to use in a series about a big boss policeman.
Sandie ◊ 2012-05-26 17:40	Other unmarked Senators 4.02: 4.08: No record for K513 CCL.
Sandie ◊ 2012-06-17 17:30	Main also seen in an episode of Spender (but with 3.0i badge on back ).
Sunbar ◊ 2012-06-17 18:30	'Police package' Opels and Vauxhalls had the same build specifications, as dictated by Opel, consisting essentially of uprated suspension, wheels/tyres and brakes. The only external clue was that sunroofs were normally deleted from the build package which was an otherwise high-spec standard car. All engines/transmissions were the same as available through normal dealer ordering.
Ingo ◊ 2012-06-17 19:08	Ahh, Irmscher... I was already wondering, why in the 90ies many Autobahnpolizei-cops (the real ones, not the Cobra11-morons) had Senator A and B as civil camera-cars. Beacuse of the pimped muscles under the hood...
