Did my eyes deceive me?
« on: 28 June 2007, 20:05:54 »
Was just coming back from walking Holly and about to cross the road, when an Omega came past me....slowed down for a speed bump......noticed mv6 on the side and thought i saw 2.6 on the back?

Well any way it appears they dont coz the omega pulled into a parking space just down the road.....so being a nosey git i went to have another look.....Yep definately 2.6 on the back and mv6 on the sides.

Didnt know vx made such.....I thought mv6 was 3.0 and 3.2's only......

yep, there was never a 2.5 MV6, in pre-facelift or facelift form.

But as Markie says, 2001 came the 2.6 MV6.

One in manual form at the right price with less 100k miles, might be a replacement for my 2.2! - Should point out a manual 2.6 will be quicker than an auto 3.0/3.2  ;)

Yup, 2.6 MV6 was available. Nearly bought on 6 months ago from member Effone, but (unsurprisingly) he sold it before I made up my mind - I decision I have regretted ever since :(
