I couldn't possibly remember who, but someone I once knew had and ex-police Rover Sterling. It still had the original whailer fitted and working, plus intermittent headlamp flashes and blue grille lights. It evcen had the matrix board in the parcel shelf, but alas no control unit for that.

Only ever got tried once and did have the effect, but the driver of the Rover was more scared using it than the cars that got out the way. You only need one genuine policeman to see/here it and you are in very, very deep doo doo. Not least is 'impersonating a police officer', which is a very serious charge.

I think you could have more fun with it if you put it on Ebay as a collectors item. Some numpty who also has a yellow hi-vis, a white cap and a white MV6 saloon 3.2 manual or something will buy it.

Must be purely down to the driver then. The 0-60 on a 2.5 Rover 75 is exactly the same as 2.5 Omega. The rover has a slightly higher bhp(174 as opposed to 167). Didn't we have trouble on another forum about a very similar thing, ie old men who drove around in slow cars.
