from memory there are 2.5 and 3.0 versions aswell as the later 2.6 and 3.2 versions...
i think they either come with leather or sports recaros and sometimes leather sports seats? (not sure about the seats)
dont know if they have mv6 on the logbook but they should as the other models say what spec it is in the logbook
a good way to tell if its an mv6 is that on the side running strips they dont have mv6 or cd or whatever on that small plastic plaque just behind the side repeater/indicator

Nope...

Pre-facelift came in 3.0 form only. Manual and auto versions. Also came with either cloth or leather, leather was an option extra.

Facelift did have the 2.6 / early 3.0 and 3.2

2.6/3.0s came in auto and manual. But the 3.2s only had autos.

You do see police cars badged MV6, this did not have sports seats or alloys, very basic spec.

Usual toys are sunroof (pre-facelift only) HIDS, sporty allows, blind, cruise was optional extra too

I aint seen a Mini Facelift MV6 that is a 2.5... I only have seen 3.0...
Think they did 2.6 7 3.2 in the Facelift.

The leather sports interior was an optional extra, as was the satnav and cruise control.

They have Imersher wheels, lower suspenion, no self leveling, no Bose, rear Blind, auto dimming rear view mirror, seats aren't memory electric like the Elite.

Then ... to confuse matters further, European Opel used the MV6 name instead of our Elite!  ;)  :y  :y  :y

All Police Spec ones are very basic, and were never sold retail. These are all 3.0/3.2 depending on age.

Retail spec, prefacelift mv6 is roughly similar to CDX (minus cruise), facelift mv6 similar to CD spec.

Mine has:

Recaro (really? - not badged) heated cloth sports seats
Rear seats are not heated.
17" Irmscher wheels with 235 tyres
Lower and stiffer suspension (IIRC this was done with springs)
MV6 on log book
Nice fake carbon trim (better than the 'wood' IMO).

Be aware most (all?) seats in Omega are made by recaro.  Only retail MV6 have the sports seats though
