Johnny - yes, that's absolutely the car! Someone has looked after it, last reg'd keeper was in Swindon, but I didn't recognise the name or remember having seen the car before!
I saw it listed on BCA, so presumed it was the same car. Following the sale I didn't see it appear on Ebay or A/T. I was little curious I guess as to where it had gone - hoping it hadn't been purchased to be broken for spares, so it's good to see that it may be looked after - for the short term at least! What do you propose to do with it?

Good questions, so I bought it slightly on a whim, as you know, I sell cars day to day, but have not had an Omega for many years, cheap cars for me are not viable to sell. Selling a £1k-£3k really is'nt easy. My price point is typically £6,000-£35,000.
I bought this Omega, because it was the 3.2 Elite, and a friends daughter needs a bit of direction. She will be working with me, just on this vehicle to essentially learn the benefits of hard work and why having a network of people you trust in your business dealings can be vital. She'll get 50% of any profit.
Until I'd driven it yesterday I was unsure what to do with it. I was expecting it to be poor, drive poorly and generally feel unloved. The paintwork is poor, (lacquer peel) so I suspected the car in whole would be bad.
Surprisingly it was very good, it feels like an Omega I would have sold back in 2009. Small things like, working ash tray, plenum caps present, working air con, two like new keys, smooth engine, drives very straight, good suspension with no knocks has made me decide to invest in it and return it to as good as is possible.
I will sell it, but I will have all the paint work sorted, cam belt change, and a service and present it in the way it deserves. I'll be sensible in the sale price.
Happy to share price paid via PM.
