'Unrecorded' as if someone is going to put it back on the road...................

You would be surprised

I've got a mate who manages a local scrapyard and he often buys "write offs", many a lot worse than this Omega (seen one with front wheel on drivers seat, and a Cooper S Turbo with the back section crushed to about 6"), which he repairs properly, puts them through VIC testing and subsequent MOT testing, and uses them himself for about 6 months before selling on.  Seems a very profitable operation (scrapyard connections help), but takes a lot of work, effort and skill.

As EMD hints this Omega could easily be repaired properly, although at a cost that is going to be prohibitive.  Newer, more valuable written off cars can often be fully repaired cost effectively.

£200 for a car with NO straight panels and probably floor all bent out of shape

not sure about the slight scratch on it I'll give it a miss

[omega3000]

Well scrap around here is only £150-170 , cant see that going for £200 in that condition and its not top spec either  BUT you never know

To be fair, a tub of Isopon, bottle of T-Cut and some elbow grease and it'll be as good as new

Have repaired similar amounts of damage on mine, although not both ends at once

If it were free, and I had the space and inclination I would consider it as a project The rear screen is intact, which is a good sign, the rest is just panel replacement

Mentions something about tyres recently fitted

Obviously Ditch Finders 

Pirelli P6000's Although they don't look that recent

I have a set of p6000's on my 406,very good they are too,methinks human interface error got that one

They might work well on your 406 but they're crap on the Omega

Worked really well on the Mother in Law's Octavia 4x4 right down to about 2mm and a Passatt 4motion that was in the family. ISTR TB liked them on the Rover (RIP) too. They just don't seem to suit big RWD motors
