'cos if it's a 4/90 it should be about 1969. ;)

Mind you' it wouldn't look much like an Omega either. I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. ;)

Had seen restraints - some people prefer them. Didn't notice steering wheel. I was trying to see what radio it had.

Its a PFL. Look at the wheels, head restraints, seat fabric ......

I suppose it could have been sat around unregistered for a few years ........

In which case it would be a 1999 registered 1996(?) model .. it is NOT a 99 "model"

The car looks tidy, VX/490? well it is what it is, looks good for the price, just needs the model changing, perhaps there was a difference in translation to us?.... :D
