Well, after a noticable absence from rwd, i have come back home. Was running a v6 calibra for a while but she died on the way back from my girlfriends house in Poole so i decided to get rid.
Courtesy of a small donation from HMRC and a little from my backpocket, i had about £650 to spare so started my search. Saw quite a few Omega 'C's on ebay but all were either way too ropey or had problems indicitive of forthcoming major problems. So, i then had a look in our local rag and came across an Elite estate on a P reg with 97k, full Vaux service history, thousands of pound spent and tight as a nut for £750. Spoke to blokey and a few days later, i ended up with a true gem of a find for £650 (oh, and taxed and mot'd as well!)
Even came with a little notebook that the previous owner had kept from 1998 when he bought it to 2010 detailing the date, mileage, job done from replacing a valve cap on a tyre to services or other such repairs.
I shall let the pictures do the talking















And just for a laugh, sporting a Cadillac Catera grille (dont think it wil be staying on seeing as i have the irmscher grill and rear spoiler lol)

Looks like a good one. Nice miles for a P plate

this Caterra grill look very nice 

Nice Omega.

Edited because I'm a plank! 

looks good

Thanks for the comments, the grille is coming off tomorrow as i really dont think it suits miggys lines so back with the standard irmscher one methinks
Had a nice compliment whilst filling her up earlier, bloke on the pump next to me said just how quiet she was considering she is on a P plate. Quite liked that

I would assume you are right and to be honest, the steering wheel is in just the right position for me so wont bother faffing around with that.
Going down the lines of lots of Irmscher goodies now so we shall see how it all pans out
The way i look at it, if you were out to get a car of a similar age, mileage, spec, it kind of only leave you with Mercede's, BMW's, higher spec Audi's and not a lot else and from what i found whilst searching, you wont get much change from a grand especially with the service history, tax and test.
If you want to be a marque elitest then thats fair enough but i have had more than my fair share of cars and i say beyond a shadow of a doubt that apart from my Nissan 300ZX twin turbo, this Omega is the best it gets for the cash

looks good. Just need those crappy headlights changed now
