Title: My 1999 Elite 2.5 V6
Post by: Peter H on 18 November 2008, 14:48:41
Hello all,
Thought you may like to look at my Elite.
I bought it for £650 on ebay, HN03GOH and Holy Count did the road trip up to Shropshire to collect.

92000 miles, full history, Polar Sea Blue with grey velour.  Soon to be getting a new near side fog lamp and a twin pipe back box.

I am very very happy with my 1st Omega.  I think this one is a keeper! :)

Not an Omega, but my other toy!

Thanks, it is a beautiful car, but it is too nice/thirsty/impractical to use all the time.
In September I did 1400 miles in 2 days in it and she never missed a beat.   18mpg average though, when petrol was at it most expensive!  DOH ;D

Nice Omega - always liked the blue, nice jag too - never been in an XJS but had an XK8 when they first come out in 1996 and loved it.

2 nice cars there  :y

The interior color code is 'Grey dots Velour'

TBH I am quite liking the velour, makes a nice change from leather in the winter!
