Methinks he refers to it being a 3.0 litre facelift ... petrol Facelifts should be either 2.6 or 3.2, V reg is the earliest facelifts came out so that bit could be right.

seems to agree with my recollection, but I could be wrong....
EDIT:
just found this ..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Omega
which shows, some way down, that the 3.0 litre was produced as a facelift for a few months from end of 99 to early 2000 ... so could be correct after all.

Yep, the windscreen wiper arms and wipers are transposed.
Which means it's either had a new windscreen and the 'fitter' had an epic fail or the scuttle has been off.
-
The headlights need polished

Mines a 99 V plate 2.5 Facelift....?
The wipers are on the correct way round too....?

Not come across a windscreen replacement job that has been anything else, TBH, so highly likely.

The dealer in the background is 'Wyverns' - which was a 1940s/50s Vauxhall, and the medium-to-large-ish saloon of the day, but with lower spec and a smaller engine. So like an Omega Select/GLS 2.0/2.2 today :-)

After I got googling 1950s cars I sort of got distracted... :y

I had to fix someones windscreen washer yesterday for the same reason - jets are in the scuttle and the fitter had managed to forget to reattach the washer pipe..

The inferior, loved-by-the-tree-hugging-hippies, DBW V6s didn't come in until model year 2001, so all MY2000 V6s had the superior, quicker, more economical 2.5/3.0 variants... :y

Agreed!!
And to Shackeng, quite true :)
Dusting off my brain cells now, the... Velox got (I think) the 2 1/4 litre straight six, Wyverns had the 4 cyl 1.5, (later used in the F Victor, which replaced Wyvern as entry level model) and the even-higher spec model, the Cresta appeared a couple of years before the end of the E Series.
Also PFLs with proper cable throttles are most definintely the best :y
