TVR to Omega
« on: 14 January 2007, 22:09:48 »
Hi Guys and Gals,

About to purchase a 3.0 24v Elite to help reduce the miles on my T350 & to add a bit of comfort when stuck in Jams on the M6 and M1.

Its a high miler I've purchased at 100,000 miles. But only cost £1500quid and is in really good nick!

Anything I should be looking out for?

Welcome Snapz. :)

I think you may find the Omega a little more sedate than the TVR ;) but also rather more comforable!

You consider 100k high mileage...?
Yep, you're a TVR owner alright! A friend had a Griffith 500  :o great (see terrifying!) fun when running, but reliabilty made an Alfa look good!
Had a full rebuild at 38k miles!


I've given you the link to the buyers guide in one of your other threads so that should help you. :)

Howdoo, welcome to the site.  

Good choice of cars.  One for fun and one for munching the miles in comfort.  100k is barely run in!!

Hi Snapz and welcome aboard. :y Hope you enjoy your Omega, as others have said, 100K isn't particularly high mileage for Omega's - mines just over 150K and still purring. 8-) :)
