18 years earlier, or possibly later that might be worth that kind of money.  ::)

...Only 9,000 miles  :o
Looks good ,
@9000 miles ,with £20,000 depreciation (assuming it sells for 10 bag 'o' sand)
equates to £2.22 per mile  :o, not including fuel,tax,insurance,MOT,service etc
someone might be happy to pay £10k
after all............. where would you find another  :-\

Engine Bay looks nice and clean for Tractor, Coolant Colour looks a bit iffy though for 9000 miles.

I doubt that will sell for that sort of money, being what it is, 9000miles on an Elite or MV6 might be in with half a chance but you never know with eBay, theres always someone out there with more Omegas than sense, sorry, I meant more Money than Sense.

Although it's only done 9000 miles, all of the components are still nearly 20 years old. Many of them deteriorate over time, so any buyer should still expect failures; rubber parts like hoses and seals are particularly prone to this.


It's not worth more than a few  hundred quid more than a 150,000 mile beater that's in daily use to me. And that's entirely due to the condition of the body and interior.

I would say the seller is delusional......or hoping that a delusional Omega enthusiast will buy it. :)

It's pretty unique, as Omegas go, so as a seller why not try your hand.

I mean, if it was yours and it went up at £5k and sold in hours, you'd feel a bit of a mug...

Poverty spec........derv.........undesirable colour that is far from unique........


Just about the worst Omega available.

£700......because of the low mileage.

He's looking for top money, should have employed a decent photographer, instead of using his bloody phone, . And that means my ultra rare MV6 should have been @£5000. That had full history from new.

Bonnet gaps aren't even on the front corners, and the Buy It Now price is the same as the opening bid. And it's got the wrong gearbox... Unless the price includes a new AR35...

That said, it is unique and clearly looks clean, but not sure if it is genuinely worth half that :-\

Interestingly, it has been MoTd every year, which is reassuring  :y

Normally, in the case of Omegas, I'd agree with everyone saying autos are the law. The Omega manual is awful.

However, the auto box is just unsuited to the Omega TD, and the engine is much, much better on the manual.

Ive said this before and I,ll say it again, on the 3.2 Manuals that were fitted with the R32 boxes, fit a short shift and bend it slightly towards the Drivers side and its a whole new experience, especially when the LSD kicks in.  ;)
