Right folks, I'm buggering off to go and live in the sunny mountains of Bohemia in May, all going well, so I'm going to have to jiggle my fleet about somewhat.I've found a buyer for the Range Rover (but have to deliver it 270 miles), and I'm keeping the R30 to use as my UK car. The Jensen can stay at my mates for as long as it takes to find a buyer for it, which leaves me in a bit of a situation.I need to take a load of bits and bobs with me to CZ, and quite fancy the idea of a road trip, but don't want to be lumbered with a RHD motor in a country that makes it very difficult to register RHD cars. I know I've got a year or so where I can ponce about on the UK plates (probably longer as I'll be coming back here every couple of months anyway so I can always 'reset' the cars amount of time over there, if you get my meaning..)So, this is where you lot come into your own. I need to replace the E30 with something LHD, preferably larger and estate flavour, something with a bit of "Englishman abroad" type appeal. I want leather seats if possible and preferably AC, something that will be reliable enough to do 1000 miles happily in one sitting without needing complete refurbishment en-route, RWD or 4WD are obviously preferred. I don't do Jap cars with the exceptions of the Impreza / Legacy Turbos, but I think they're out of my intended price range anyway.The ideal car would be something like an Omega Elite 3.0 Estate, but I doubt I'll find a LHD one that someone would like to swap for my E30...So. Warm up your Ebay fingers and find me something... or at least suggest something that'll do the job.

Thanks, but no thanks. Sold mine today. Bung it on Pistonheads, should go easily. I shoulda asked more, nice bloke who worked for Jaguar came down with a pocket full of cash, no messing about. So much easier than dealing with eBay dreamers. :lol:

Saviem = Renault, so probably built under licence or through one of those tortuous east bloc/west bloc technology-exchange deals so popular back in the day... :wink:

'98 Omega 2.0 Estate - 44000 miles on the clock. £2000, but I suppose that's the "Old giffer and his missus heading to Spain to live out the rest of their days" tax.

'93 525tds - £2000 as well...
