Vauxhall Senator 24v

G registered . Usual Senator spec..cruise..elec everything...PAS...leather seats.

Mint bodywork (they normally rust badly round the arches) and spotless engine bay. Loads of Bills all from Vauxhall dating back to 1998.

I bought it off a gentleman who is emigrating with the intention of using it for parts for my GSI carlton.however i have nowhere to put it and it seems a shame to break. So I am selling the car.
By the time you read this it will be having a new steering column and a cylinder head gasket replaced (the reason i got it so cheap).

It is taxed and is MOT'd till next march. 800 quid was spent on it at the last MOT.
I am asking about £1200 but am open to offers. Its a cracking car and the 3 litre lump is good for 30mpg on a run and 149 mph..theres a reason the dibble loved em.

I have plenty of pics for anybody interested.

Alternatively heres some uploaded pics...i had just had it towed to my mechanics as it needs the head gasket fixing hence the towing eye is hanging down at the front..and yes the bonnet is open cos i had opened it

FYI - I sold my 24v 120k miles and immaculate G plate Senator for 250 quid in the end, I advertised it on here but no interest.

Free BTTT anyway

Cheers,

Hi guys...thanks to all who showed interest especially steve.

As it stands at this moment I have had a good offer for bits from the car and it is being towed to Blackburn to be broken..its a shame i know but a friend always told me not to get too sentimental.

so have lots of senator bits to sell (minus engine and fuel tank and air con) lol...

its still in one piece right now but as it stands..its time is indeed limited

i always come across them though so i will post if i get me hands ona nything that may interest y'all

peace out.

Si
