MGZT V8... Rover body, Ford engine, BMW electrics...

What could possibly go wrong ::)


Yep. Good choice. I could go for one of these.

However, I get the impression that it could be 'cramped' inside........and TB is hardly what you could call svelte. ;D ;D

Cracking bulk heads on some Saabs ...?

Only really heard of this on the cabriolets, easy enough to fix if you catch it early enough.

Shame all 75's have such a dire interior, steam engine dials coupled with the cheapest of cheap plastic, what a delightful combination.

If I could get one for Omega money, I'd consider it, just for a hoot, but suspect I'd not keep it long.

Not bad value, all things considered...

You'd have to really want one for that sort of cash. I don't really want one, just wouldn't mind one.

Always wanted one, but it'd be a constant work of love.

Hence, after something a bit more modern ;D

Oh, sorry, has to be something reasonably reliable, as I send her 40 miles up the M40 every day (and we just use whichever car is convenient)

With an attitude like that you're bound to end up with another Omega.... ;D

We have exhausted just about every other car on the planet.

I did have one and trust me you wouldn't. Very nearly bankrupt me.  ;D

Sounded nice though.  :y

There's one open ended unknown...

Budget.

Omega money covers a pretty wide range... £150-£5k ::)

L322 Range Rover, I know you could live with one.
I'm currently considering a new car, it'll either be another Range Rover, or a nearly new Volvo S80 D2...yes the one with a 1.6 diesel engine. But £20 RFL and 68 mpg is appealing, even though if 0-60 is 12 seconds  ;D
