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

In the UK, as Tunnie said

I know    ..... hence the wording.      .... but in Europe .....  8-)

MV6 was launched late 1997 and had 2.6 3.0 or 3.2 litre engines

[Phil]

MV6 had boot spoiler as standard
'carbon' trim in prefacelift, 'aluminium' (silver) trim in facelift
All MV6's have 17" wheels

Blind was not standard

Not all MV6s have the badge on the door

Don't forget MV6 has Dual Zone Climate (Very important when you have a wife who alays wants the temp different to you) Suspension is lowered as already said. I find the suspension setup a real gem and corners really well for such a large car

wow i only wanted some simple info seams to have opened a bit of a debate.so it appears that there is not a top spec car and all seats are made by recardo even if they arnt marked,as for toys i suppose the anser is to make a list of what i want and check it against the car

Agreed. Not harsh over the bumps but very assured round the corners.

It's better than my old '02 BMW 5 series which had sports suspension with 17" wheels and that was the handling benchmark at the time. (Same weight too).

I bought my standard MV6 1998 3.0 manual from Hotel21. As far as i know all MV6's were fitted with sport recaro seats ie you can pull the front squab out beneath your knees. Mine came with fabric sport seats but i've upgraded her to leather sport seats which are different to cd, cdx Elite but don't have memory just up & down switch. Also upgraded to Bose sounds which were never standard as they were on Elites.
  MV6 suspension firmer & lower (not by much) & i'm told even those fitted with sport leather never had leather door cards which mine has now. The wheels are the best in my opinion but sadly suffer from buckling which is a crying shame as they're gorgeous. Mine has no rear blind although it will soon but does have the auto dipping rear mirror. 3.0 in mini or pre facelifts & 2.6 or 3.2 facelifts.

 I could be wrong on a couple of points...d'oh!, but hope this helps .

.....so it appears that there is not a top spec car  ......

 :-/ Err? There is ...... it's the Elite.

most facelift MV6s didnt have sunroof either but it was available as an option

on paper each spec has its own list of characteristics but there were so many things you could have as options, hence the debate!!

[Cliffo B]

What about a limited slip diff and electronic stability control??

[zirk]

Thought I might add my pennies worth:

Face Lift 3.0 MV6 Estate, says MV6 on log book.
Leather Sports seats, Manual, Cruise, Self Levelling with 235 17" Alloys, Lowered and firm ride, No Sunroof, and silly Siver Painted Trim where the Wood should go.

Never been Plod as far as I know, I believe these are standard fittments for non plod.

[tunnie]

Retail MV6 comes with none of those.

some xx-plod ones have lsd but not all....

[rastamanblues]

Im intreguied now, as my 98 MV6 has the 17's the dual zone climate, the xeon's electric sunroom, 6 disk changer in boot, heated cloth seats.

Are they recaro's? as I swear ive seen some that have recaro printed on the actual back bit of the seat in white print, mine dont have any branding on them at all?

All Omegas have a dual heating/aircon/climate system ....... as did the Senator before it.
