its up for 800 with 109000 on clock , cam changed at 89000

You want to be paying around half that!

£800 would get you pre-facelift Elite in full running order.

wow - where are you guys getting your cars from? I've been trawling ebay and autotrader for a couple of weeks now - cant find a decent omega for under 2k!

100% agreement  :)

Towed for 6 years with the 2.5 .... really, really good (1600Kg 'van) .. have now towed for 5 months with the 3.2 ... bloody fantastic .. :)

As an example .. the long drag up the M5 hill from Weston - Bristol, cruise in set at 60mph... .. the 2.5 did it .. but would drop to about 50-55, and the temp would just start to move by the top.. up about 3-4 degrees... the 3.2 stayed at 60 all the way and the temp needle didn't budge  :)

are you buying this as a project to make money? If so buy, pay no more than £700.
