Omega as a future classic
« on: 09 March 2017, 07:42:47 »
  Honest John of the Saturday telegraph fame, has done an online write up about the mig as a fast approaching future classic.

It's nice to read something we're Vauxhall are being praised for a change.
Shame he didn't cover the whole range though

There is real hope for mine then! :D :D :y

My gamble and hard work recently could well pay off.  I just have to persuade who ever insures my car that it is worth the money I say it is, without "negotiations" having to take place when the worst (a crash) happens ;D ;D

Don't be surprised if it gets given a Category out of spite... My white one was written off before I received the written notification following the appraisal.

Lizzie, if you have spent time and money nurturing your car, it might be worth talking to insurers who specialise in covering vateran, vintage and restored cars; they operate an "agreed value" policy tnat reflects its worth to you and not just the Glasses Guide price.

About 4 years ago Peter Best accepted my omega as an agreed value or £2000 on a classic basis with photographic evidence of her condition.
After a year plus in the garage I have found no one would give me classic status and every insurer states that a Vauxhall must reach 20 years old to be classed as a classic.
Annoying when you can buy a new jaguar and have it classed as. Classic before driving it from the dealers

Weve had this discussion many times. Consensus is, Omega will never reach serious classic status. Same as almost every other Vauxhall ever made unfortunately.

I think what you're saying is that Vauxhall didn't make the facelift ugly enough... Unlike Ford. ;)

I was referring to the Mk3 rather than the frogmoose hybrid that was the Scorpio ;)

Thanks Ron, that is good advice. I'll let my current policy run to it's end and then do what you suggest :y :y
