It could be a clone or if the parts are just cosmetic he might have had a front ender and fitted facelift parts.  I did this with a corsa once and it made it look bang up to date just for the sake of new bumpers and front/rear fogs after the kissis forgot to turn and ended up in a hedge.  Either way it should be mentioned in the advert and for that reason I'd leave it well alone.

At the very least it would need to have a facelift bonnet with integrated grill, front bumper with washer bottle and fogs, headlamps... this would have been a write-off it was involved in a crash and required all these reapirs. I would have said that this was simply a mistake - i.e. the wrong picture, another car etc, but it does have N-reg plates... no idea.

I reckon...

That facelift car has been stolen. nicked. robbed.

And someone who doesn't know the first thing about Meega's, has put the plates of a shagged (but not sorn) old N reg Omega on this facelift car.

I smell a rat, I think it's some sort of criminal activity. I might be wrong, but I reckon that's what's happening.

Looking closely at the picture, I think I can see a frame-type headrest on the front seat, which is pre-facelift, unlike the facelift ones which are solid...?

The interior looks like an N reg interior - I'd say it has either had a front ender or just a restyle to make it look newer

This car has raised an eyebrow or two on other forums (fora?) and a post elsewhere is of a question to the seller with the reply - "I can confirm it is a '96 model has had a facelift to the front end"

the fact there is only 1 picture too, can't see the back end or interior. Could be a cut and shut job!  :o
