Late night eBay searching... 

Insignia 2.8T V6 Elite on a '58' plate with 66k currently £1,570 with 1 day 14 hours to go.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/292085715752

Lot of car for the money, That's if it doesn't make silly money. Just a shame there aren't that many 2.8T Elites about.

Also.... Spotted this rather nice 1993 Senator B 3.0 24v which seems to have gathered a lot of interest already even though it's got over a week left!

It does seem on face value a decent example with potential.

Personally, Out of these two I'd much prefer the Senator.

Anyway, Both should be interesting to watch and see what they go for.

Yes both nice cars, someone could grab a bargain with the Insignia.

The insignia seller is a dealer by the look of his feedback.

Now as we all know, why's it cheap? Cat C/D maybe's,.
And as always, let's slag it down

[cam.in.head]

The senator does look good.especially in that colour.mind you I think all large cars look good in dark green !.they always seem to have the rear wheel arch rust issue and were also badly prone to front chassis leg tops going through ,something the earlier 78-86 models seemed to avoid .looks a good example and should hopefully fetch a good price.the insignia is also climbing.at £2500 now

[Doctor Gollum]

How much was a nine year old 3.2 Elite fetching...

[tunnie]

I like the Senator 

No on the Insignia, I can think of far better cars I would pay £50 a month for just tax

[Andy B]

Don't the Senator's 15" rims look tiny these days 

[ronnyd]

See the Insignificant is up to nearly £2,900 now.

The engine looks familiar.

+1  Thats quite near noofland . hope it gets re-listed , will go for a look at it .

I like the Senator in that colour but would prefer the leather interior in grey rather than black, and the lack of digital dash would be a deal breaker for me.

Not to mention the sodding great hole where the bulkhead meets the inner wing

Indeed, everyone of them.  Mine started to have that back in the day, and in about 1997 I asked how much it would be to deal with the problem: £1,000 each quarter panel was the answer.  I then went to the Omega's.  The pictures seem to avoid a full shot of the arches, but one does appear to indicate the dreaded problem


I also note a lot of work has been done on it, but I would be troubled by:

 " September 2008 Webasto Thermo Top P engine pre heater fitted, operated by remote control. Running off petrol, this heats the engine coolant which in turn heats the engine. This is a brilliant bit of kit, especially in winter. The engine has never had a cold start since. Air condition pump and all pipe work has been removed to accommodate the engine pre heater."

What is that all about?  I would sooner have the air con!
