I see there are at present 3 Omegas listed in the classic car section of flea bay.Ones a 3.2 saloon that according to the write up has been subject of a write off in the past and has had a shed load of money spent on it in the last year and a half.Another saloon[2.5 Elite-facelift]looks to have been very well looked after and is low mileage and the third a '96 2.5TD Elite estate again a low mileage example[but expensive none the less] can't do links and I have no connection to any of these cars.

Just because someone calls their car a classic...it don't make it so.

This is very true Stemo and there are some very new cars that get listed in the classic section too.

Signum is a future classic in 2.8T form.

.......extremely rare and desirable.

.......a car that makes young women moist with eager anticipation.

I think you'll find they're moist because they're wetting themselves laughing at it and you for owning such an awful car

Signum envy. It is to be expected.

Well the 3.2 just managed to gather a single bid at its starting price of £499.As for some strange reason I'm getting a compulsion to buy yet a third car[not that the two I've already got cover any great mileage]

I checked one of the comparison sites as to cost of insurance for it and then checked for insurance on a X350 Jag and the Jag[5 times the price of the Omega]was £30 per year cheaper to insure than the Omega

My Jag (x351) is double the price of the Omega to insure

Less than £220 this year for me.

Not bad value considering that it is worth about 10x the Omega

I think TB will be disappointed with a paltry £2000 when he comes to sell his Jag.........

I very much doubt that he paid £10k for it, if it's the car I think it is

I've just come back from the Restoration Classic show at the NEC, there was an Omega in the Classic Car Auction Arena - I didn't go in as they wanted 10 quid just to walk round so I couldn't see the spec sheet on it. It went thought the auction yesterday apparently - I've got no details except it was a face lift metallic burgundy saloon !! de badged reg number Y11 VXL.
It went for 4 grand

Anyone on here know the car? I'll try and get the photo of it uploaded later

BazaJT · « **Reply #15 on:** 24 March 2019, 17:34:43 »

Should imagine a good wedge of the 4 grand was for the reg. number.

I think the new owner is a very well known ABS member. He's owned up to buying an Omega at auction yesterday, and not having even opened the bonnet. However, he is a guy we want on 'our side' - Done a lot for us older Vauxhall owners especially LC's.

If it's the same car, then it's apparently from a Vauxhall dealership owners private collection.
