I have to admit, that looks a beauty.....

Price...high, but....every car is worth what someone would pay for it. If the condition and mechanics are as good close up as in the pictures, then even at that price, or a bit knocked off, they will get a car to be proud of. And I have seen worse than that for more!!!!

Thing is, Mark....if that car is as good as reported, whoever gets it, even at that price, will get a car that could last for years. Bear in mind what it cost new, and the new owner will get all that apart from 37000 miles. You can buy a hell of a lot worse than this car, for loads more money, with other makes.
I'll be honest, if I had a full wad, and was after an Omega. I would pay a decent price for the right car, that would hopefully last me a lot of years :y

I usually use the "bangernomics" method of finances with vehicles if I pay £1,000 for a vehicle & it lasts 12 months with no major expenditure  I reckon I've had  good value,£2,000  for 2 years & so on. This  car in my opinion is excellent value for money , chances are you could get it for £2,500  for a car that looks a million dollars !!

Every car he sells is "stunning" according to his feedback. I would be happier if he was a genuine owner selling his wheels, rather than a dealer, but you never know....... :-\

Nice car in possibly time warp condition. Problem is that it is a bog standard basic Omega with no toys, no xenons, manual everything and the less desirable 2.6.

If that was an Elite, RB would have had it in a flash.

why do people let tyre bays fit clip on weights to an alloy wheel? They look naff & bugger up paint on the edge of the rim & corrosion sets in

I'm intrigued - the lower parts of the door cards have black fabric, not the cream as per the rest of the interior - look like they've been changed, but why? Never seen a FL with door like that.

In terms of practicality, yes, darker colour hides the grubby marks, (there's a reason my interior is black  ;)) but can't imagine any private owner would go to the trouble of 'modding' his door cards in this way. If you're that fastidious you'd just get out the carpet cleaner once in a while.

Very clean car, though, so long as the mechanicals match up to the aesthetics, we shoudl be seeing this at Billing for the Omegas 50th Birthday!

.  My 51 plate 2.6 CDX  has exactly the same interior that is how the door cards are , mine is just as clean as well our old 2.2 CDX estate had a black interior , never did like it .
