OMG!!! 😮 My heart skipped a beat at the start of this video and I had to triple take!! In the early 2000’s I had a Vauxhall Omega and the reg was T801HRP They were used as police cars too. Infact, I once went to buy (test drive) a mk 2 Omega Reg OU03KFC which was an ex police car in the Thames Valley. I have actually seen it on roadwars.
