I have a 78k example, always for sale  :-X

Swapsies?
Err, no.

That said, yours is a very tidy example, one of the best I've ever seen.

It might actually get some use soon, as 4 up touring my 2.2 struggles  ::)

Think I will need to jump start the damn thing  ;D

Market place is flooded with 2.2's . I mite be wrong but thought the 4 pot was under powered in an omega  :-\

Considering you can buy a V6 for the same money i cant see the point in buying a 2.2 especially as the mpg wont be far different for each  :-\

Manual it's ok for me, it's done me proud. It's very easy to work on, far more so than V6. Will cruise at 80mph all day long.

Loaded up though, with passengers it struggles.

Is that the silver p/f one  :)
No, the poorly Silver Bullet has never been for sale.
As opposed to the far superior poorly facelift ::)

So will a Morris Marina. Doesn't mean its adequate.

It's more than adequate. I would not want to drive to Austria in a Marina.  ::)

Bloody reliable engine though, not let me down. Silent, smooth (for 4pot) and easy to work on. Love my 2.2  :-*

That's how you get 120K from a set of discs and 80K from a set of tyres ::)
