Knew i'd balls it up the following is an extract from josh halfway down the link i posted

VK53 *** was the black 3.2 Elite that had done in excess of 226,000 miles, and was then sold on here with circa 94k miles. Although I can't remember the sellers name, I think it's somewhere on here.
Charlie 3.2 was selling VA03 OOG, which has now been on ebay loads of times and is now on it's third attempt at being sold at Belle Vue.

I was also contemplating having a bid on this particular Omega. Selling my 2.6 Elite and using this as a cheap run around for a bit.

This being the one owner car in your link ;)

Something doesn't add up in that first link...  ...can't put my finger on it, but something doesn't look right, visually...

The leather looks a bit saggy for a 67k car, but other than that :-/ :-/

Front seats look like they might be right, but the rear, especially the base, looks like it's wrong

It's not clipped in properly at the base, and it's smooth leather by the looks, not the grained buffalo(?) leather we usually see in 03's. Plus it's far too shiney for some reason.

Am in the process of doing the same on mine as I don't particularly like the grained leather. Heated seats being an issue on the doner car I've discovered.

[size=14]when it was for sale about 3 miles from me, a few members on the forum attempted to get more details about it, Josh and myself being 2 of them. When i initially contacted about whether delivery was available as it was very close to me and without tax, seller was very enthusiastic, but on contacting about getting the reference numbers from the MOT cert or V5 so we could verify mileage as it had no service history, the seller became unreachable to Josh and myself

also in previous adverts it was described as having had "several panels repainted at some time"

the car has since been passed through a number of traders

its definately one to avoid[/size]
