Did this belong to anyone on here?
« on: 07 July 2025, 17:37:56 »

YG03FNV. I've been looking at Matthewsons auctions results for June, a very nice looking metallic blue 3.2 Omega sold for £5,500 a good price for one with not a very good MOT history.

Perhaps the Omega is starting it's transition from banger to classic.

You hear of people paying £10,000 for a Cortina which were literally everywhere back in the day.

Omegas are simply old. Which is pretty much what you said; classics are just older bangers.

A bloke came over to me in Tescos car park last week to talk about my Omega, which is getting pretty common these days.
He reckoned it was easily worth a couple of grand.
I have no idea, and have no plans to ever sell it, so it doesnt really matter to me.

I have had that a number of times this year, with the usual expression made of: "you don't see many of those these days" and that is " a proper car!" :D :D ;)

That does seem strong money, I think if it were me I'd rather have an early x350 Jaguar XJ, which can be had for roughly the same money  8)

I get exactly the same with my 2007 Range Rover, " much better than than the junk that they're turning out now " is the  most  used comment .So far I've had six years motoring for around £12,000 in total so I'm happy with that.

No one ever looked at my Mondeo...  :(   I quite liked that though to be honest, as I could park it anywhere and nobody paid attention to it.  :y

Today I pulled into a filling station and there was a black BMW 325i Touring parked up. As he drove away he took a long look at mine.  I think he had size envy!  :D

Pumping petrol without trousers and underpants is probably not a good idea. :-X ::)

Deben & Kernow Cunstabulary might have a couple of plain clothed John Deeres and Massy Fergusons?  ;D
