Title: One very confused Omega !
Post by: I_want_an_Omega on 04 April 2011, 20:24:08
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1999-VAUXHALL-OMEGA-VX-4-90-FE-AUTO-ESTATE-/250799364183?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3a64ce9857

Logbook says VX4/90 apparently

This aint a '99 model is it?

how could this have happened?

'cos if it's a 4/90 it should be about 1969. ;)

Mind you' it wouldn't look much like an Omega either. I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. ;)

Had seen restraints - some people prefer them. Didn't notice steering wheel. I was trying to see what radio it had.

Its a PFL. Look at the wheels, head restraints, seat fabric ......

I suppose it could have been sat around unregistered for a few years ........

In which case it would be a 1999 registered 1996(?) model .. it is NOT a 99 "model"

The car looks tidy, VX/490? well it is what it is, looks good for the price, just needs the model changing, perhaps there was a difference in translation to us?.... :D
