Surely some questions to be answered there .....
Ad headed as a 3.0 text says 3.2 as does badge on car , MV6 but standard front bumper , wood trim, Elite wheels no rear spoiler and standard cloth seats + Opel badged .
Could it be a CD with Elite wheels ?

Import?

Import?
My suspicions too...

If it is, then it could only have come from as far as the other side of the Irish Sea, no other country sells Opels with the steering wheel on the right. But there are various Vx Omegas knocking about the forum with Opel & even Holden badges on them.

What is it like up close? though a bit far away, I was just going to post on the lines of where are the decent Omega's when you are looking.........though would rather have a 2.2, looking for swmbo, unless I could sell the Idea of me having an Omega and a Jeep to swmbo....... :D :D

It could well be an Irish Import as looking through this ; http://www.senatorman.de/opel_omega_b.htm
there is no Opel facelift model with Prodrive or tailgate spoiler although the Vauxhall model is shown in all it's glory.
Has been a wealthy first owner though as road tax is exorbitant over here and the high initial cost of Omegas , due to 33% tax , made estates prohibitivly expensive and similar prices to high end Audi's and BMW's.
If it is Irish then check and then check again the service history as sellers laugh at you if you ask for it.........Not an Irish thing I'm afraid ::)

I would not see that as a problem, my Jeep is Irish, complete with Irish reg number, which is worth a few quid..... :y

Leather was standard on the 3.2's however it wasn't compulsory :y.

To be honest I am not a lover of leather, thought nice in the Jeep; That may not be a true English MV6 he admits to updating the wheels,it suits me, still working on this with swmbo, I like that, tbo if that was on the door step it would be on my drive tomorrow...going to look at one tomorrow that is twice the price I would pay, but I know they have had it for sale for at least a year, up at 2k for a 2.2..... :o :o

The Opel grille looks a sight better than the vauxhall offering :y
-
I just thought that it sounded and looked a beautiful car (subject to having a closer hook) as you don't see many 1 owner omega's with fsh very often

@vamps, there's Irish plates and there's Northern Irish plates, the Northern ones tend to be the more desirable ones :y

More recent Eire numbers are a European style, have a letter or two at the beginning to denote which county, then the year in two numbers & then 3 random letters ............... IIRC :y :y
Yours is a Northern Ireland number
I'm going back years with the red number plates. ;)

1987.
The format is year / county of registration / registration number ( this starts at 1 each year in each county allthough 1 is usually allocated for Mayoral vehicles but others can be reserved at a cost )
I had a non prefix / suffix registration number for over thirty years and was initially a bit pissed when I registered the car over here ,after selling the number in UK , but it actually is an OK system as everyone has their year of registration displayed and you soon get over it and best of all there are no awful chavy plates that seem to be on every car in UK now. :y
