Sure that's an elite that's down as mv6 on v5, like mine.
It hasn't got mv6 wheels either

There was one on there last week advertised as four wheel drive. ::) ;D

he might have felt the surge at 4.1k rpm and thought, ahh, supercharger :-X

Should have said "multi ram air charged" that would impress the uninitiated. :) :D

This is what he said when I asked him about the supercharger:
Hi there,
To be honest i'm not entirely sure. Don't know much about super chargers but to look at the engine looks standard as in no visable mods. I just assumed that's how the car left the factory as it has a superchraged badge on the rear ( not the cheap halfords type ) and the same style writing etched onto both sides of engine that i've given a really good scrub. Everything looks standard MV6 215bhp to me except the supercharged branding so that's why i assume it left the factory this way or somebody has gone to a lot effort to make it look supercharged. Not really that clued up with Vauxhalls so might be better to take a look.
What's alot of effort? Clagging a shitty badge on the back?

So, not only doesn't he know much about Vauxhalls, he knows f*** all about cars or engines in general ;) ;) ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

.........and his reply to me was
Hi,
Yeah i know what it says on the log book MV6 Elite lol I exchanged the 17" wheels as it made the car handle like a tank and replaced them with 16". Much more comfortable ride now.
I've searched and not found any info regarding being supercharged so starting to think somebody just went out their way to make it look like it was.
Think i might just amend that from the description as it doesn't change the car in anyway. Still better than most the Omega's around.

Also, he states he is the third owner and the previous two are related, to who? Him? Or each other? He should know all about the 'supercharger' in that case. And who exactly has gone to all that trouble?
