Title: Classic Omegas?
Post by: BazaJT on 20 March 2019, 17:35:44
I see there are at present 3 Omegas listed in the classic car section of flea bay.Ones a 3.2 saloon that according to the write up has been subject of a write off in the past and has had a shed load of money spent on it in the last year and a half.Another saloon[2.5 Elite-facelift]looks to have been very well looked after and is low mileage and the third a '96 2.5TD Elite estate again a low mileage example[but expensive none the less] can't do links and I have no connection to any of these cars.

Just because someone calls their car a classic...it don't make it so.

This is very true Stemo and there are some very new cars that get listed in the classic section too.

I think you'll find they're moist because they're wetting themselves laughing at it and you for owning such an awful car :P

Signum envy. It is to be expected. :)

Well the 3.2 just managed to gather a single bid at its starting price of £499.As for some strange reason I'm getting a compulsion to buy yet a third car[not that the two I've already got cover any great mileage] ??? I checked one of the comparison sites as to cost of insurance for it and then checked for insurance on a X350 Jag and the Jag[5 times the price of the Omega]was £30 per year cheaper to insure than the Omega :o

My Jag (x351) is double the price of the Omega to insure :(

Not bad value considering that it is worth about 10x the Omega  ;)

I think TB will be disappointed with a paltry £2000 when he comes to sell his Jag......... :-X

I very much doubt that he paid £10k for it, if it's the car I think it is ;)

I've just come back from the Restoration Classic show at the NEC, there was an Omega in the Classic Car Auction Arena - I didn't go in as they wanted 10 quid just to walk round so I couldn't see the spec sheet on it. It went thought the auction yesterday apparently - I've got no details except it was a face lift metallic burgundy saloon !! de badged reg number Y11 VXL.
It went for 4 grand  :o :o
Anyone on here know the car? I'll try and get the photo of it uploaded later

Should imagine a good wedge of the 4 grand was for the reg. number.

I think the new owner is a very well known ABS member. He's owned up to buying an Omega at auction yesterday, and not having even opened the bonnet. However, he is a guy we want on 'our side' - Done a lot for us older Vauxhall owners especially LC's.

If it's the same car, then it's apparently from a Vauxhall dealership owners private collection.
