I got to wondering who on OOF had the oldest Omega that was still original in terms of factory spec. I wouldn't include consumables like Tyres, brake discs/pads, exhaust and batteries and perhaps accident repair.

Mine was totally original until about four years ago when I needed a new steering pump. Since then it has been a steady stream of bits and pieces. Windscreen washer jets, passenger mirror, ABS ECU, aux drive belt, plug leads,cam cover gaskets, exhaust and so on.

I had a ten year old Golf and even the battery and exhaust were original fitting.

My 96 I have known about since virtually new, and has 101000 miles and engine/gearbox/axle is original. It has had no work on any engine parts except timing belts and oil/filters etc. it has had one battery and last year original exhaust finally gave up at 11 years old. Not bad for our wet climate.
I would imagine in Spain things like exhausts would last much longer than normal, but would also imagine thing like bearing will dry up quicker.

i know there's a couple of 94s on here, but one for certain isnt standard, he's facelifted the front end completely, and the door mouldings

They are great batteries!  I had one on a Carlton, from new, that lasted 12 years and 195K miles.
