Why are all the best Omega's Silver
« on: 13 March 2010, 23:14:47 »
As above really, been looking on ebay for a really decent Mig, just exploring options as my car goes back in early August, and most of the best ones are in Silver, I am sick of Silver cars........ ::) ::) ::)

And can you get a 'Top of the range' Mig without slippy and sweaty leather inside...... :D

Yes. 2.5 came with velour seat as standard & leather as a cost option. 3.0's came the other way round. Presumably 2.6's & 3.2's are/were the same.

Yes, my 2003 2.6 Elite has cloth seats (SWMBO would not have been pleased if I had bought something with hot/cold slippery seats) but it is silver............

Reason why fleets tend to buy silver with dark interior is, back then, they had the best resale value.

As others have said, 2.5/2.6 Elites had cloth, 3.0/3.2 had leather
