Methinks he refers to it being a 3.0 litre facelift ... petrol Facelifts should be either 2.6 or 3.2, V reg is the earliest facelifts came out so that bit could be right.

Josh's guide

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90488.0

seems to agree with my recollection, but I could be wrong....

EDIT:

just found this ..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Omega

which shows, some way down, that the 3.0 litre was produced as a facelift for a few months from end of 99 to early 2000 ... so could be correct after all.

Yep, the windscreen wiper arms and wipers are transposed.

Which means it's either had a new windscreen and the 'fitter' had an epic fail or the scuttle has been off.

Not come across a windscreen replacement job that has been anything else, TBH, so highly likely.

The dealer in the background is 'Wyverns' - which was a 1940s/50s Vauxhall, and the medium-to-large-ish saloon of the day, but with lower spec and a smaller engine. So like an Omega Select/GLS 2.0/2.2 today :-)



After I got googling 1950s cars I sort of got distracted...  :y

I had to fix someones windscreen washer yesterday for the same reason - jets are in the scuttle and the fitter had managed to forget to reattach the washer pipe..
