Timely prompt from the DVLA reminds me that its decision time on my Omega. Part of me would like to hang on to it as a hobby/workhorse but as I can't weld and no longer have the enthusiasm or the need for a second car she sadly has to go.
Offering it to the helpful Omega community first but interested parties will need to be quick as tax expires at the end of the month and offroad parking is not an option.
Must be worth £275 for parts and Cats alone.
RK53 ZWT c 137,000 miles. Cloth interior.
Barely used since last MOT on 9/11/2022
Advisories relate to:-
Sills ('Don't bring it back next year without replacing them'),
Front wishbones corroded (ATP items fitted by me 2015, polybushed 2017)

Not ambiguous at all. You're just old and your mind is feeble ;D

It started fine on saturday and I've done a couple of short runs to Wickes etc.
Some more things to note:-
The heater is full blast max heat.
There is rust in the roof gutters.
Rust spots on roof between windscreen and sunroof.
£275 is what I was hoping for, but I'll try and run it past a scrappies Wednesday to see what they offer and take it from there.
To the person who sent me a pm, your inbox is full.

Given the mileage you've done since the last test, it might be worth throwing it in for another test :-\

Shame to scrap it, but Im sure a scrapyard will give you more than £275 for it.

Does it run, if so I’ll give you 275 for it as long as I can drive it away
(I can legally do so, to a place of repair) :y

It will however be cannibalised for parts for my 3.2 :y

Plundering for parts is why I posted it here. I’ve benefited in the past by other members supplying parts to me from breakers (not to mention the wealth of hints, advice and practical help) helping keep this and its predecessor on the road.
James I’ll pm my number so we can arrange for collection, but I think we can safely say the vehicle is now sold :'(

I’d have loved it mate, but logistically the depths of wales and the ancillary costs around fuel / transport would have meant it financially uneconomical. I’m very sorry I thought I replied.
Steve I have transferred you funds …..
