G-MANN ◊ 2011-04-01 22:55	Also used in episodes 4, 5 and 6. Vehicle Details for registration number R714LNV Make VAUXHALL Model OMEGA ELITE Year of Manufacture 1998 Engine Size (cc) 2962
G-MANN ◊ 2011-04-03 19:29	Although it says this is an Elite (the top Omega trim level), for some reason it only has the basic GLS hubcaps (but it can't be a GLS if it has the 3 litre engine). Maybe it's something to do with it being a police car (although it could just be a mockup rather than a real ex-police car).
Sandie ◊ 2011-04-03 19:33	All police spec Omegas were like that. See also the police spec Vectra SRIs with hubcaps and the Astras which had the black steel wheels not available on the standard models.

G-MANN ◊ 2011-04-03 19:46	Wouldn't the Elite normally have more buttons on the dashboard than that as well? (and leather seats)
Sandie ◊ 2011-04-03 19:48	Yes. They all still seem to be registered as Elite though. Newer police Vauxhalls are listed as 'Special' trim.
G-MANN ◊ 2011-04-03 19:54	Also by this time the Elite had a special grille of its own. This just has the normal Omega grille (but yes, I get your point, it's a police version ) -- Last edit: 2011-04-03 19:55:15
dsl ◊ 2011-04-03 20:00	Possibly Elite was default DVLA setting as the only official version with 3.0.
Sandie ◊ 2011-04-03 23:31	Maybe it's worth putting something to the effect of 'Police Package' for these?

(and leather seats) Being a police spec = no leather anyway Sandie wrote All police spec Omegas were like that.

Neptune ◊ 2011-04-07 22:45	Aren’t those alloy or steel wheels? They don’t appear to be removable hubcaps (wheel covers). -- Last edit: 2011-04-07 22:57:17
tonkatracker ◊ 2011-04-08 02:35	Neptune wrote Aren’t those alloy or steel wheels? They don’t appear to be removable hubcaps (wheel covers). I would guess they are wheel covers as we can not see the lug nuts.

Neptune ◊ 2011-04-09 00:33	They look pretty good then for wheel covers, had me fooled.
dhill_cb7 ◊ 2024-05-24 16:57	Not a 1998. This is a late registered 1997. Trim ELITE V6 24V W0L000025V1991130 W0L = Vauxhall Motors Ltd. 0000 = no special vehicle 25 = Sedan 4-door notchback (GL) V = 1997 1 = Rüsselsheim (Germany) 991130 = serial number
