He certainly has done some work on it  :o looks like a sorted car ...worth a punt  :)

...but I'm still struggling to see what makes it rare..............

Looks a nice car, but also is gloriously standard, in a gloriously standard kind of way.....

Or is it because Total Vauxhall said it was rare?

Looks like I'll have to start reading Total Vauxhall again..... ??? ::)
I'd hope TV know better, so I am beginning to smell bovine leftovers...

But the trim level is hardly rare
Yours is rarer... Imagine what the Silver Bullet must be worth :-X ::) :D
Nobody could afford it ;)
I dunno... I've got a fiver in my pocket and I'll stick a curry on the credit card ;) ;D
Its value is nearly priceless to me. Replacement would cost several thousand, and would introduce all the problems, unreliabilities and performance/handling issues that the Bullet doesn't suffer ;)

I really dont see this Omega being 'very very rare' but i might go have a look to see what all the fuss is about, as its just round the corner from me, saying that, ive never seen it out and about.

TBE is not irreplacable. And TBE is far from a replacement for the Bullet.

Keep saying that out loud and it might just hear you, and then you'll never be able to drive up to your garage door again :P

Rare my *rse - looks tidy in the pics although I hate to think what this guys bodywork/mechanical skills are like.  Price seems grossly optimistic for a standard car with an odd colour plenum ::)

That reminds me, a couple of years back, Someone came on here asking for help and advice for an Omega MV6 write up He was doing for Total Vauxhall.

Did it ever published, anyone got a copy?

Great, Think I have the last email from Him, Rob Hawkins from memory, with a final draft attached, was just interested whether it went to Press or not.

What do you have Jim, hopefully the Press with Pics, if so any chance of a copy.
