No
Me and Bazza have 12 months MOT 
and i'm sure there are others

Don't take it to heart, Dave, I'm sure your omega will last forever and find a place in classic car magazine.......or something.

Bits of it did find there way into a newspaper , now in the bin 

[Sir Tigger KC]

It's the usual opinions of actual Omega owners versus people who have moved on yet still think we're interested in what they say, last time I looked we're on the omega "owners" forum.

Ooo Meow!

Loads of rusty Vauxhall's though. 

Some people put their funds into trust. Some of us put our funds into rust.

but the classified ads in classic car mats have largely been replaced by eBay. And then you get to deal with a bunch of timewasting hapless insolvent incompetent lieing window lickers

Back on to the original posting of this thread, the car has been bought by an ABS member.
Saw it yesterday and it is very nice, no rust visable anywhere, solid sills and arches
New pair of headlights in the boot
Retuning him about 35mpg at the moment

[Mutha Jugs n Speed]

Yes, I was also with Keith yesterday,and looking over the car it's in excellent condition.It's been bought as project car and the new owner is extremely good at what he does by way of mechanical and  general restoration.He's planning to fit a 3.0Ltr lump but knowing him it won't be standard, and as far as the body goes there's some minor cosmetic to be done,but that is one nice catch....another one saved from ending up as a scrapper

[2boxerdogs]

Nice to know somebody got a good buy.🎄🎄🎄

[Mutha Jugs n Speed]

Yeah,nice car in the flesh,and everything works on it,knowing the guy who's bought the car, it will end up pristine and then join his collection of VX showcars.

That is a good looking example, I prefer the earlier interiors. I miss my 3.0l Elite estate I converted to manual, I have recently returned to the fold with a 3.2  estate I bought from a member on here and bought a 2.6 estate from another member at the same time which I need to get around to sorting and reselling.

[BazaJT]

Get it sorted sharpish,new member daveycooper is after an estate

[ABSMemSec]

Thanks for everyones concern.

Thought you'd interested know the car passed its MOT last week with no advisories and is running well.

Work required to get there.

1 x Windscreen Wiper.
1 x Foglight Bulb.
Rear number plate bulb.
Handbrake adjustment.

The car came with a pair of brand new Headlight so they were fitted with LED bulbs

The Breather Box was partially plugged and had been poorly overhauled in the past with super-glue so was replaced and there was a small water hose leak at the Climate Control valve.

The car also came with a pair of front discs and a set of rear pads and at present there is no requirement to replace.

Rust; struggling to find anything significant.

Glad it's gone to someone who will treat it right 
These cars are great.....if you are an enthusiast, and you have the time and know how to keep it on the road.

I would have had another omega if someone like Serek was near to me. But most garages can't/won't work on them because they simply don't have knowledge of them. Even Vx can't be trusted, and that says a lot to me.

Well done
