The one car I would have loved was a 24V Senator,

Every week I valeted a brand new Senator for a customor of mine.

He bought it as a retirement pressie for himself to tug the tin box arround.

Loved it, Not quite as comforfortable as the 2.9 Scorpio Ghia (nicest seat trim/level I have sat on.  But the Ford verse Vauhall, no contest, Santator won hands down.

Interiors have shrunk over time, My Carltons were a tad smaller, Omega a tad tighter.

I like a roomy car with the gadgets, sunroof and electric sunroof have to be a must on my next car, but I am not aware of anything that I would like that compare to a Senator, Maybe a BMW series 7/8 or an S class Merc.  But I havnt enough spare cash to in vest in either, and would they ever be classed as a proper classic in t he future.
