Insurance just killing it  :( How can a 3.5 be cheaper to insure than a 2.2  ??? But just is  >:(
Mite even be cheaper to get a 3.2 mig  :-\
Easy, even a 2.0 Omega is a guaranteed write off :'(

Was newtified when I typed that ::)

Basically the Rover P6 V8 will always be worth more than an Omega, and beinga bit rarefied more likely to be driven less and looked after better, whereas a £300 Omega is likely to be driven into the ground, so any slight bump will see it written off.

A bit like buying life insurance at 80, you're guaranteed to die fairly soon, so the premiums are daft to cover the payout :y

Yes, but by the same token, maximum payout in the Omega case is £300 (plus any 3rd party claim). A P6 could well be much more than that, as you say. Probability of any of the above is down to 2 things, though:

Miles travelled per annum
Care taken by driver in covering said miles

This is where the difference lies - between classic car "polisher" on limited miles and someone who spends £300 on a runabout.

Dont know the code , not seen many that color either . Grab it quick before RB puts it in his yard up for £5k  :D ;D

Manual no good for me now but i owned a 2.5 manual before , im in with most that the V6 suits the auto box the best imo  :) You need to try one before committing i guess  :-\
