First sold at BCA Newport as a non runner, then put on ebay as HG failiure which would have been oil cooler, so then whoever is selling it now bought it, replaced oil cooler and is selling on. But it does have the NCDC 2015 with glove box mounted sim reader. Be interesting to see the final price.

do you happen to know what it sold for at auction?

Unusual for oil cooler failure on the late face lifts, they went to stainless coolers  :-/

Don't know auction price, but the guy selling it on ebay the first time wanted £1250 for it. The first guy sold it as possible HG failiure, stating oil in water, but no water in oil so from that I guessed oil cooler. I emailed the guy selling it now to ask if he replaced the il cooler, and he has.
But it's still a nice example. Wrong colour for me, if it'd been black I would have bought it and kept it.

sounds like oil cooler, just odd to see one fail so late.

Nice scrape and rust on rear arch, manky stereo buttons, manky number plates. It really is top of the range though.

Been stainless since very early on in Omega's life. Shows its probably been abused.
