Title: Vauxhall heritage centre

Just out of interest does the OOF go along to the Vauxhall heritage centre during the year?
I am aware some clubs do go ?

Dont think so, you talking about the one in Luton.

Why not organise a meet yourself in the Meetings Section, could be a good day out.  ;)

Spotted this video on YouTube. https://youtu.be/nmBx_EY3UnM ...Notice at around 01:35 into the video there's a black 'W' reg Omega Elite saloon on what appears to be ramps and the bonnet open, Its a 2.5 V6 going by the reg. Fairly high mileage considering if it's going to be a heritage vehicle that their adding to the collection.

Also why not opt for a 3.0/3.2 Elite/MV6?...  It's also had a checkered past going by the MOT history. It failed it's MOT as recently as the 18th of January 2017 on 8 things.

Interesting to see what they do with it and why it's taken them so long to get an Omega into the collection at the Vauxhall Heritage centre.

There is an open day planned for sometime in May. I will keep you all posted via the meetings section once I get a confirmed date
Usually an imprompute auto jumble takes place in the car park which is where I normally reside

I understood the heritage centre took one of each type of the press fleet, I also understood people can donate.
Could it belong to a member of staff ?
