      I have 2 Omega estates at the moment and a really nice blue saloon with only 52,000 miles on it, in the past I have advertised on fleabay but the parts aren't in great demand so I doubt Alex has missed out .

    Clarkson, Hammond and May will be proud of you. They did the same thing with a Renault Espace many years ago!

      All the Omegas were built in Rüsselsheim by Opel.
      Omega, the best car Vauxhall never made.

    GM actually made the omega in to a ute or pick up. The 1997 - 2005 Holden commodore was based heavily on the omega. The Commodore came in three body types Sedan, Wagon and Ute. Look up 2002 VU Commodore Ute. We also got the wagon out here as well look up VT Commodore Wagon. Keep up the awesome work!
