I was going to vote, but I think my results may affect the outcome as I've had a few.
Of the Omega's I've had, I know the following are still going, taxed and MOT'd;
2002 '02' 2.6 Elite auto saloon
2003 '03' 3.2 V6 Elite estate
2001 'Y' 3.2 auto saloon ex police red
2002 '02' 3.2 auto black saloon ex police
2002 '52' 2.6 MV6 manual - Now a 3.0 DBW hybrid
2003 '03' 3.2 Elite saloon
2003 '03' 3.2 Elite estate
And my current Omega - 2003 '52' 2.6 Elite manual

I think I've missed a few, but I know all are still going.
And if you look through Roger Budden's stock you can account for some more of the later rarer one's aswell etc.

There are a few other '03' 3.2 Elite's I know of aswell, so there are a fair few about.

I think the pre 1999 Omega's ae the one's in most danger.

I think it's pretty pointless having a poll restricted to Elites, MV6 & Plod variations. I would imagine the majority on here have CDs or CDXs....

...and I certainly can't imagine ex-Plods being sought after as classics unless they've been given the Battenburg treatment.

Yes, but imagine if we were talking Cortina's for instance....wouldn't the 1600 gt or 1600E's be more collectable and rarer?
In ten years time, there will probably be a darn sight more CD, CDX, and more basic ones left, but by their very useable interiors, alloys, etc the higher spec breakers get used up quicker, and therefore would possibly be rarer and more desireable later on??

just a thought.

PLYM IAN, just for you.

2 Litre CDX...............X :y
