according to that my car is an mv6

Opel Vozidlo bez zvláštní úpravy Omega Omega B Omega B 4 dve[ch345]e, MV6 2000 Rüsselsheim 102142

but its an elite???

[kpassmore1974]

mine is correct r plate cd estate

Opel Vozidlo bez zvláštní úpravy Omega Omega B Omega B Caravan, CD 1998 Rüsselsheim 205360

perhaps some of the other members could check and see if theirs are right.

(Omega B Caravan, GL      1998      Rüsselsheim      280308)

My S reg ('99) Elite saloon shows as:

My old S reg ('99) Elite saloon similarly shows as:
