Decent Omegas values increasing fast. Ex VX heritage 98 3.0 elite with 76k went for 3400 at the new auction at runcorn !!£4050 with commission/buyers premium. Rare manual. Great value car, Nova 1.2 Merit went for over £5k!!
Silly money.Not quite mad enough yet. I thought I'd test the water and rang a well known online classic car auction site. They weren't interested in my immaculate MV6
But look at the Lotus Carlton market. Few years years ago there were 2 cars that stood out in the market. 1 was a garage owner that had his in a car showroom from day 1 and just for show , when he put it up for sale it was slow to move as people wouldnt pay the money & the other was a 20K miles car. The later was for sale for ages for £20,000.
Now if you want a Lotus Carlton a scabby abused one starts at £80K
Plus when I looke on Autotrader last night I see all the Omega were twice the price they would have been a few years ago., saying that there were 3 low mielage cars shame they were basic models.
The Worlds going mad.
but at least it means I get to keep it for a bit longer 
And the air con still works!
Hopefully at that price it will be someone who wants to restore it.Needs a 24v in it, only a real geek would restore a 12v properly.
Christ,I remember him well ! almost the same age as me.Won Le Mans in a TWR Jaguar. Was rumoured to behind the recent buyout of Williams F1, he used to drive their van in the early days.
He was actually the Earl of Dumfries, but tried to keep it low profile.
