@Sandie: an ex-Police-car would be freaky, but when all signs and stripes are removed (it usual here, too, when police-cars were sold), it's not something special any more 
In the past, when the cars were painted and not taped, it was more interesting.
Black Cabs are for sure typical British (some are running here, one or two even in official taxi-use), but the newer ones aren't looking really nice.
Here were some Rovers sold, it's also known, that they have BMW Diesel-engines, but I cannot overcome for them. Rover's reputation was really bad in Germany. Always one of the worst, together with Daewoo and Chrysler. Even Lada was better reputated.
@Gag: nice idea, but shipping from Japan is too elaborate. It's just about an all-day-car, not to forget.
@Antoine: yes, I had this idea, too, as I've faible for Holden. Mainly caused by this spot, which I really love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WilHxTSKP34

As you mabe know, my watch has a Holden-logo
My parents-in-law have bought it for my on their cruise around Down Under, because couldn't find that:

Sadly this is the only actual Holden-ad: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201110381882950/sort/priceasc/used- cars/make/holden/radius/1501/postcode/ct161dl/page/1/quicksearch/true?logcode=p
Sadly, because 8000 Pounds are too much. 5000 to 6000 Pounds is my maximum -not to forget: it's for an all-day car, not a collectible- The car itself looks boring (the Omega B is more unique), but the technical datas re really attractive.
Not for my wife. She became angry, when I've shown her the advert. She thinks about a 2006+ Vectra, maybe a Zafira of a Signum. She says, that I should spend more money, because the price-difference is really huge, compared to Germany, up to 40%.
Otherwise I know, that I have to count the fact, that I'll have to drive this car until its end. Though is much cheaper to get in the UK, a selling price here will be really low for a RHD-car. But this is nothing new for me, with the Omega it was the same. I'd kown before, that a NATO-olive car is not good to sell, when I want to get rid of it in well used condition with some defects (as it's the fact now). But I've done so always with my all-day cars. All of them were planned to be driven until the end. Any avails by selling it in exhausted condition (so it was always) I've booked as a 100% profit.
