Still see a few round here,mostly F/L.But also two early cars,a 2.5TD saloon and a 2.0 petrol saloon.By the way Lizzie Ford no longer own Jaguar,they sold it along with Land Rover to the Indian company Tata who also own most if not all of what used to be British Steel.

Thanks! :y :y  I had forgotten that, but you wonder then why Ford did offload their foothold in the large exec car market ;)

See 3 every day(mine) and if am lucky 1 or 2 others during the summer months. Did see a Tourer made into a pick up on German plates about 3 months ago. Dark purple that looked black, lower to the deck.

I believe that a premium luxury car such as the Omega, was originally purchased by "well to do" types. Doctors, solicitors, head teachers, senior managers.....................you know the sort of people.

Now their value has dropped like a stone these once proud and majestic cars are now driven by the shady reprobates here at OOF. ::) ::) ;)   

Happy with the car considering the price paid. I think if i could have afforded one new (29k) i would have been slightly pished about it.

I flew past 2 on the A29 last night, one was a Mini facelift 3.0 elite saloon and the other a facelift 2.2 cdx estate, both where being driven by miss daisy, mine was being driven to the legal limit of course.(cough.cough) :y

With a banging shocker as well!!

I've got an old 1984 Nissan 300ZX in the barn, howmanyleft.co.uk says only 46 left on the road, it's a shame mine will most likely never be roadworthy.
Don't let the mig's rot folks, one day the values will rise and line our grand children's pockets.
