I'm pretty sure the MV6 was available as a manual to Joe Public - I'm sure I drove one of the facelift ones at Bedford on a Autocar/Vauxhall day in 1999.
The MV6 could be had as a 2.5/2.6 or 3.0/3.2. The 2.2 was available with the same body kit and trim in 'Sport' spec.Great fun, as I remember. Got a go in lots of hot VX on that day, including the Zafira VXR and a Corvette!

Can't see anything indicating engine size. The manual was only an option on the 2.5/2.6 though - if I remember correctly only plod-spec 3.0/3.2's had the manual box.
To be honest, I'd rather it with the autobox. In fact, when I get bored with the ZT, another Omega (either an Elite or MV6) could well be on the cards to replace it.....
Says it is a 2.6 in the advert To be honest, I'd rather it with the autobox. In fact, when I get bored with the ZT, another Omega (either an Elite or MV6) could well be on the cards to replace it.....
Pretty sure I have seen manual 3.0 / 3.2 ones before, although I could be wrong. It seems a manual MV6 is as rare as hens teeth. Shame, they look like great cars.
Did they ever come with an LSD?

any requirements?
Yep, four doors, ISOFIX (not a showstopper but would be ideal), and ideally within c. 40 miles of Southampton! Keeping an eye on this thread and the 1-5, although I've not put a duplicate post over there
Thanks in advance
5 months MOT and 6 months tax included!
Spend £150 getting an Indy to drop/clean the sump and do an oil/filter change (fully synthetic) and it'll go forever...
