My new Elite - here at last!
« on: 26 April 2009, 21:17:14 »
Finally got down to Yorkshire this weekend to collect the latest addition to my family of Omega's. This one's a 3.2 Elite and in fantastic condition - only 15000 miles on the clock and a full service history to support it. The leather is totally unmarked and the car drives like it is brand new.

Weather has been pretty crap today so haven't had a chance to give it a proper clean and polish but here's a couple of pics for now...

Not sure why it has the CDX alloys instead of the normal Elite ones - not a problem for me really as I think I prefer the look of the CDX type - well spotted though  :y

Wow a time warp Omega and very very nice...... is this for normal use or just as a show car, only asking as i used to be into the concours scene..

Elite wheels would make the car though and it would be then 100% original.. :y

Thanks for the comments guys.

As I said, I don't mind the wheels. Previous owner was an 83 year old accountant with no family so car has hardly seen any use - I doubt whether the wheel change thing was anything to do with him. More likely the dealers did a quick swap at point of sale knowing the old guy would know any different.

This car will be used - and some! I do around 30k a year with my job so need a reliable car. I have 2 other Mig's at the moment so they share the workload but I reckon I'll sell the 2.5 on purely cos I need the parking space. I have a funny feeling I may sell the 2.6 at some point soon aswell so the Elite will be taking a pounding.

seems a bit of shame to rack up the miles like that in such a pristine example!

I totally agree, I reckon you should sell it to someone who only does 2000 miles a year.   I for that reason I will put myself forward to take it off your hands.

Seriously though.  Nice motor.  (and the cash is waiting)

Nice motoer -- I have an Elite but "dumbed down" the wheels to a lower spec model, purely because I prefer them to the Elite originals :)
