Ive bought this omega off ebay  a gamble I think but I just had to have it, I don't know how to do the link but this was the item number 131073959171 if anyone has any thoughts good or bad post it for me I wont be pissed. The bloke seems spot on weve done a good deal both happy. Been into perrys with the reg and they say yes it could be a specd up mv6 it does say mv6 on the log book but I wasn't sure of the trim etc...any thoughts would be appreciated and if anyone could sort the link if they have time for me.
Cheers Grant

It's an Elite, very early facelifts were registered as MV6 on the log book.

The memory seats, blind ect alloys all show Elite 

Looking at pictures, temp looks low, does it rise fully to around 85?

[tunnie]

Depends how low you run it, but don't be surprised if it's easily £80+

[sjr47]

£93 smackers @£1.29L from empty, once ran my 2.6 down to saying only 20 miles worth of fuel left but still could only get £78 worth in to brim

[cresidente]

ha ha ha Worth every penny for the sound alone!

[2boxerdogs]

Agree, the V6 does sound good when you give it a bit of welly !!

[adey2]

[PAULCDX]

Filled up my 2.6 today from pretty much empty and she took £85 to fill up, just to give you an idea
