Title: Nice Black Omega Seen on eBay
Post by: OmegaAnglesey on 06 March 2013, 18:23:13
a rather nice rare Sport Omega in black and also seems to have the black leather sports/mv6 seats..

If it was allot closer i'd be tempted even though its a 2.2

Tempting, but better not. Got my 2.2 which I love to bits, got a 3.2 Elite I never use..... yet  ::)

I'd have to LPG that 2.2, which would mean cost and re-payment time. My mileage does not really prompt that need any more either.

Perhaps that's why the seller has provided just one picture that looks like it was taken using a Box Brownie  ;D ;D

Some years ago i test drove a 2.2 manual estate and it flew just as quick as a 2.5/2.6 Auto pretty much (or it could have been i was mainly going downhill with that manual 2.2 :D )

I've seen a green 'sport' in Worcestershire. I was following it so couldn't catch all of the detail. Looked really smart. Maybe the owner is an OOF member?
Title: Re: Nice Black Omega Seen on eBay
Post by: Andy B on 06 March 2013, 19:53:47
Apparently ........  ::)

The sport version is the top of the range in the vehicles fitted with a 2.2 engine which you would know if you knew the omega range dear sir....!!!!

With keen eyes, you can see that it says MV6 on the door  ::). I suppose the lack of pictures, and the fact the wording says, the car will be in Belvedere in the next few days would possibly indicate, that it isn't the actual car pictured, unless the door and/or badge has been changed. The pictured vehicle also has leather, which you think he would've mentioned as it's 'Top of the range'.

Seems such a nice chap. I wonder if his friend who he's selling it for isn't doing him any favors with that kinda attitude.  ::) Oh well life goes on...... Do you know I was actually interested in this? Not to far away and my brother wants a Mig after driving mine. Plenty more fish in the sea as they say.
