2001 lotus omega?
« on: 30 June 2011, 12:56:35 »
hi, im new to the forum and i just need some general help. a friend of mine is selling his omega and he is giving me the first chance to buy it. it is a 3.2 v6 and is badged as a lotus. the previous owner (who bought it from new) claimed that the car was tuned by lotous in 2001, which makes it a "lotus omega".

i would just like to know some back groud info about the car and weather this car is actaully a lotus.

thanks

Hmm. Never heard of a Lotus Tuned V6 Omega.

Only official "Lotus Omega" was a decade earlier, 3.6 litre straight 6 not V6 and 377 BHP. It doesn't sound like one of those. ::)

I think he's pulling your leg, personally, but yes, it would be interesting to see pictures. ;)

just phoned the lotus head office up and according to their records they did tune a omega 3.2 v6 in 2001. he said that there is only one in production and to verify they want me to email him the chassis number.

In that case, it could be a pretty interesting/ collectable car - if you can get written verification from Lotus. ;)

And it should be well loved and cared for as it may well be worth some serious money in the not too distant future ;)

Crikey.

Could you also request exactly what was done in the tuning phase?  Would be extremely interesting to know!  :y
