I can never understand why people don't think about their photos. A few minutes cleaning the junk out of the car and it would look tidy.

would be interested in seeing what this goes for, not many plods around for sale these days, a few years back a 3.0 Manual explod yr2000 with that millage and being a half baked finished project would be lucky to see the best side of 700, if it does sell well, will give me some idea what a nice non white 03 3.2 Manual Estate Special could be worth.

Is someone going to ask the all important cambelt history question? and although it may have had some refurbing done recently,I am a bit puzzled as to what lies under that new paintwork,because looking at the interior shots there seems enough evidence of neglect to put me right off :-\ ::)

Waste of time asking about any history, its going to end up being diffed,around a car park somewhere. :'(

Someone with no feedback can be withdrawn i think as it was well before the 24hr end . There's been a lot of bids on cars recently that dont contact or pay up looking at the amount of re-listings  :(

Post by: Terbs on 13 September 2015, 15:39:47
Finished at £771 :y
The last £50  went in with a few seconds left, so someone really wanted it. Good luck if it keeps another out of the scrapyard

Am I missing something? Ex plod, which, I appreciate means a few nice bits, here and there, like calibrated speedo and maybe an LSD, but afaik they didn't all get them.

Interior is shot, and cobbld together, the admittance of recent bodywork suggests then thing is going to be pinging up rust within a month.

Is it because it's a manual MV6, then? Hope it turns out to be a decent car for whoever bought it, and my 'concerns are unfounded.'  :)

In short...a rusty old bucket that has been thrashed to within an inch of its life.

But fun to be had, and for £700 odd........

To bitch abouth the interior, or lack of, is a point missed... it is a blank canvas to build a unique spec Omega :y

I wonder how many 'unique spec' omegas are driving around with undeclared mods, so potentially uninsured?
