Hopefully looking at this car this coming weekend, anyone know of it at all?

Looks very clean and MOT record is impressive for a 19 year old car; MOT due 3 Oct 20, mileage at last MOT 77K. MOT claims colour is red, it looks blue in pics. I bought a car like that, 2.0 petrol manual, for £300 7 years ago. I fancy they may have gor dearer recently, though not so much as the Citroen CX manual petrol turbo I sold for £200, and I saw one this forum (£6K?) recently.
Good luck with it!

Looks familiar, but can't place it :-\
-
Is the colour not Persia? That is like a deep metallic / pearlescent purple in some light, and would no doubt have been described as red when first registered. One of the more rarer colours for an Omega.
-
Something in my head is saying RobseyMV6? :-\
-
Thanks for your replies chaps, yes as far as I can see it’s Persia red which is one of the two colours I was after… It’s slightly older than what I wanted but with a fairly low mileage it shouldn’t be too bad.
It looks to have an electric rear blind and sunroof which I believe to be fairly rare as well, I’m pretty sure it was just a PFL cars that had rear blinds?
I should’ve said as well, it’s a 3.0 elite with from what looks like all the toys… Heated front and rear seats, memory drivers seat sunroof, electric wheel blind, colour satnav
I guess it’s a very early, maybe one of the first facelifts?
-
Elites were fitted with an electric rear blind until approx 2002, which was dropped around the time when rain sensitive wipers were introduced, although there was a bit of 'overlap'. My 02 3.2 has a rear blind and rain sensitive wipers, and was fitted with the 5 spoke alloys.
Colour sat nav is a good plus.....

W was the earliest facelift, Y being the last 2.5/3.0 and early 2.6/3.2 :y
Both blinds and rain sensing wipers are retrofitable regardless of age, (the wiring is generally there from the factory).
I may have previously done work on that one, but something in the back of my mind is saying that it was a Y 2.6 in that colour :-\

Good to know that rain sensing wipers is a retrofit, definitely something I might look into doing

Obviously requires some wiring and a new screen ;)

Wow ok... It’s not that important 😭

-
The sensor is clipped to the screen, so kinda required ;D and the wiring runs to the intermittent speed switch loom iirc ;)
-
Sounds the same as what I did in my Vectra then, managed to get a sensor and the little bracket that holds a sensor to the windscreen and just use some tiger seal to hold it on… Worked a treat!

So it was actually manufactured in 1999.
As to Y808NCB Red, it has an MOT advisory for the windscreen and for all four tyres worn at the edge. The tyres usually mean the front suspension needs overhauling and alignment as well as new tyres. If the windscreen is cracked, it will likely have to be replaced. So factor that into the purchase price.
-
So I’m just looking at the car now and it’s definitely an ex-OOF owners car as it’s got Omega Owners.com stickers on it and on the numberplates
-
Iirc Omegaowners.com was / is different from Omegaownersforum ? ???
-
Oh was it? I’ve I've only ever known OOF and the groups on Facebook
-
Here's a picture of the medium 'omegaowners.com' window sticker (http://shop.omegaowners.com/images/oofproducts/oofsticker.jpg), medium size and sold out, taken from the forum shop.

Looks like I was talking shite then. ;D

The Saab has rain sensing wipers, fuoking crap, spot of water they start, and if there's 5 spots they go into hype fast mode,, I just want them to pulse, which isn't an option >:(

Slide the ding-a-ling on the stalk down to alter the sensitivity.
-
So I’ve had a look through the paperwork that came with the car and the name Mr Baxter has come up a couple of times, there’s not much history per se but it does have every MOT certificate since the car was new!
-
Looks like a nice car.
Seems to be an unusual colour. What's the paint code? Should be on a label near the bottom of the driver's side B pillar.
