Ah yes my old Marina 1800TC Coupe finished in Mustard had a nice black stripe which went right down the middle of the bonnet.  ::)

I'm sure it went faster.  :y

If it was put back to standard it would probably a pretty looking car - sounds like it's been looked after well, apart from the dubious styling changes

This is actually a car owned by a close friend of mine.  I spent ages laughing at it when he sprayed the lower section.

He runs a professional car bodyshop and does work to a high standard.  His own cars are loved even more than his children.

Along with the Omega, he has a Camaro Z28 Convertible, Chrysler 300C (which he bought to replace the Omega) and a Cadillac STS.  His workhorse is a Vivaro.

I can personally endorse the quality of care that this particular car has had in the years of the current owners hands.  Even if the Blue looks a bit.... ghey.  ;D

As the seller says,all the original bits will come with the car, and in all honesty the blue paint won't take long to deal with,so as long as the all important cambelt/service history check out....could be a bargain,as long as the final price doesn't go silly :-\ ::)

That was my thoughts that it had been well looked after  :y
