HMC- Austin 12/4 motorsport entry 💩

[HMC]

20 yo recovery truck and 20 yo car on board 

[Rocket88]

Very partial to those…. If rear arches are present 

[83C]

53 is late for an Omega, I think production stopped in June 2003. 

Very partial to them, had at least 4 if I remember correctly.

[HMC]

Mika has delivered some top draw vauxhall shite…

On mine you can always open the driver's door with the key, it's only the rest of the doors that require power and a functioning BCM, so not sure why they had to go in through the boot?

My 3B deadlocks so the only way in with a dead battery is via the boot, and then working out how the funk to release the seat backs to crawl though the car and pop the bonnet. Interior handles are also deadlocked with no power. It's certainly secure...

I really like that red estate, a pre-facelift one like this is about the only thing I'd consider replacing my saloon with. Interested!

As for boost tailing off, mine does similar, it can sometimes be the actuator staying fully open and the ECU getting upset at too much boost apparently - I should get mine fixed at that lovely TDI torque is a lot of fun

Sober millennial executive vibe

Mostly intact 😂

In the current depressing wasteland of bangerdom, i recon £790 with about a years mot is ok value.

[83C]

Pretty damn good value I’d say. Want to swap for a C5?

No?

Fair enough…

[gadgetgricey]

I'd be most worried re the scratch marks on the hazard switch.
Seems to have been used quite a lot

Looks lovely though. Seats look really good.

Good job you posted this, I hadn’t realised today was my brother’s 8th birthday again.

[HMC]

Heated rear seats (that work as well) 😎

[grogee]

Four disc magazine? Heated rear seats? 

Have you received a knighthood from Bozo? 

The Omega is mega, well bought. Hope the wipers work for the South Devon "summer". 

[Yoss]

Was hoping for more velour being an old Vauxhall, but that'll do.

Very well bought Sir.

Enjoy it for the average two weeks.

Should roffle well

 

[sierraman]

That on the arch isn’t anything a bit of P38 and an aerosol couldn’t solve. 

[mat_the_cat]

I see you already have roof bars, but would some GENUINE Vauxhall ones be of any interest?

[HMC]

Got a bucket list car on the way, with a terrible image problem IMO.

Clues?

it wasnt owned by jimmy saville, and its built by Karmann

[davehedgehog31]

A VW Scirocco, MK3 Golf Convertible or a Chrysler Crossfire.

Good thoughts, + 1 on the image of those. But no cigar.

Clue- its the sort of car Kerry Katona would have bought with the first (modest) royalties from her first successes.

[davehedgehog31]

A Renault Megane cabriolet? 

Can I read to you from Top Gear magazine?

[Cookiesouwest]

CLK convertible?

[NorthernMonkey]

Got to be an Escort cabby?

Actually, scratch that. A bit of Googling reveals they were also responsible for those bloody horrible Micra coupe convertible efforts.

That’s where my money lies*
 

 

 

*not literally. If it is one of those, you’re on your own when it comes to flogging it on next week. My standards are remarkably low but even so.

[Cookiesouwest]

2nd guess A4 convertible?

On the 31/12/1999 I had an M reg 2.0i CD Omega  and it was such an anti-climax when I got in it the next morning and the date had just changed to 01,01.2000.  
That Omega was the last “ work” car I owned that didn’t have aircon also the last with a petrol engine. Simpler times and I still earned good money with it.

[Marm Toastsmith]

Whatever it is, dibs.
