Jan 2007 at 22:09 Hi Guys and Gals, About to purchase a 3.0 24v Elite to help reduce the miles on my T350 & to add a bit of comfort when stuck in Jams on the M6 and M1. Its a high miler I've purchased at 100,000 miles. But only cost £1500quid and is in really good nick! Anything I should be looking out for?

Welcome Snapz.

I think you may find the Omega a little more sedate than the TVR Wink

but also rather more comforable!

You consider 100k high mileage...?
Yep, you're a TVR owner alright! A friend had a Griffith 500 Shocked

great (see terrifying!) fun when running, but reliabilty made an Alfa look good!
Had a full rebuild at 38k miles!

I've given you the link to the buyers guide in one of your other threads so that should help you.

Jan 2007 at 17:06 Hi Snapz and welcome aboard. Hope you enjoy your Omega, as others have said, 100K isn't particularly high mileage for Omega's - mines just over 150K and still purring.
