Buy Bazas car!!! That right Baza? Never given you any trouble, and well worth £2500, yes? (I'm helping you out here, buddy  )

[05omegav6]

There's a perfectly good for sale section, if he wishes to sell it

It would seem then that my Elite[a W reg year 2000] is one of the early F/Ls pre NCDC.

My Mates old Omega (W, F/L) was pre NCDC, and didn't have heated rear seats, either. 

All Elites had the seats. Must have been changed at some point.

Nice try DBG but I think you got the decimal point at least 2 digits too far to the right

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Look, I like a good haggle, but your car is nowhere near worth £250,000 

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Just seen this... it's broken, but frankly looks easily repairable, and after the usual culprits have been sorted seems a fine motor, all look very clean and tidy cosmetically.

Nice wee project 

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Aye  Suppose we could start up a whole new thread on that car I linked to, but it's saying oil in the water, and suggests Head Gasket... I'd suggest the issue is in fact the far 'nicer' job of oil cooler.

Car £150
Cats £50-£100 used,
Oil cooler £100+ plus labour
Battery £50
MoT £45

= £445 + for a £106k Omega that's looking rather nice. With a Terbert not far away for a 'viewing/once over'. Sounds good to me 

[EMD]

Its ideal if you are in no rush to get it on the road and take your time to go through it all  Still a bargain for a 3.2 . Think that mite be someone who's a member on here

Certainly reads like an enthusiast. They clearly know the cars..

Certainly reads like an enthusiast. They clearly don't  know the cars..

Otherwise they wouldn't be advertising it as HG failure

Your forgetting the cost of moving it with no MOT or Tax. Can be expensive if it needs to move a fair distance.

[BazaJT]

Can't get to the link to see,but if you're going oil cooler,cats etc.would not a new timing belt be a wise move thereby increasing the bill yet more?

I am enthusiastic about E-Type Jags, but I don't know the first thing about working on them. 

If I didn't already have two Omegas - one broke, one SORN - then this would be a tempting way of me getting a very very well specced car.
