I was about 22 when I bought this, and I felt like the dogs 'dangle berries'.

I'm 36 now, and I still drive around in one  :-X ;D

IIRC, that changed hands for around £1200. That was a lot of rust free car for your money back then.

LPG filler looks a tad awkward to use.

I still remember having to cut all of that grass, and 50 metres of privet hedge. Don't miss that.

Yes, they still look damn good, as that one does James, although that was 14 years ago ;D ;D ;D 8) 8) 8) :y :y

My first Omega was in 1996 and now a staggering 24 years later (almost a quarter of a century!! :o :o :o) I am still driving one and love it as I did the first.  I really hope I can keep mine going until I give up driving, but who knows! ::) ::) :P :D :D ;)

Here is my silver Omega, with assorted  more expensive cars, looking quite as handsome. I took this shot returning from an Omega meeting (Towcester?) a few years ago. I called on an old school chum living in Marlow, could not find his place, explored the place next door by mistake. I regarded my Omega as quite as good as these flashy cars.

My mom bought her 03 Reg Omega 2.2CD in early 2004 when it was 9 months old. I used to love borrowing it and subsequently bought my 2001 Y Reg Omega 2.2cdx in January 2008. My mom kept her Omega until 2015 and I kept mine until 2016. Both were in "rare silver." They are still handsome looking cars today. Happy days!

Agree James, they are starting to go up in price, I was offered £1500 and the price of a train ticket home for my white 3.0 at the VBOA show last year. I'm not in the market to sell any of them and can't see that changing anytime soon. ::)

What would you get for 1500 quid that comes close to a car like the Mig these days. :(

Considering every new car I've owned (from a sample of 2 allegedly reliable German marques - I know!) Has gone wrong, to a greater or lesser degree within the first 2000 miles, I rather think that 'unreliable' old barges might be my forte  ;D
