I am now the proud owner of a Vauxhall Senator 24v, yeehah 8-). It has 72000 miles on the clock and although it has been sitting around for awhile it came with a years MOT. Just drove it back from London, boy is it quick. A few problems with it, like the suspension mounts need replacing as there is a knocking noise underneath and a ABS sensor needs replacing which the person who sold it to me is sending one out for me to fit. Also some other minor faults like the rear window is not working and the rev counter sensor is kaput. I am hoping that all these are minor and i am taking the car of the road during winter and parking it up in the garage to get it fully fit. Have joined Autobahnstormers but still have my Omega so will be with this site for awhile to come. I am absolutely chuffed with it. Off now to get my bucket and sponge to give it a good clean and wax before it is stored. Good thing also, it has no rust.
Cheers :D

Surprised a lot of hot hatches too 8-)

Is this the 'buy my Senator or it goes for Scappage' car?
You'll enjoy it! :y :y :y

No it is the one advertised on Autotrder and Ebay.

Sounds a great car as Senator's to me always are, especially if it has no rust around the rear arches!!! :-* :-* :y :y :y
-
If it's this one I like it a lot :y

Nice one, looks really good, and for that price..... :y :y :y
-
Absolute classic mate. Wouldn't have minded it myself - keep us posted on progress.
-
Looks excellent for a 1993 motor. :y
Isn't the description a bit optimistic regarding the performance though.......faster than a Ford Cossie and 160+ mph. :-/
-
Great find K - a lovely car 8-) 8-) :y
-
Spot on that with low mileage too. As Bob said optimistic advertising but none the less that looks a cracking motor.
I'd be proud to drive round in it. It's a peach, good on ya! :y
-
She's a beauty - what a great find - always loved the 3-litre Senator :y

Lovely motor,I would have another one like a shot if I didnt need to get something much more economical. :y

????????????????? senny 24v manual wipes the floor with Omega on fuel consumption to be honest auto is awful tho!!!! :y
-
The auto is not as bad as you think. Beats my Omega on fuel consumption. Which makes me think why didn't they use the Senator engine in the Omega?? :-?

couldnt agree more. my 24v senator did 25 mpg and I used to drive it hard. My 2.5 mig does 24mpg and that is driving with a very light right foot.
I have a much longer commute these days and need something economical soon. Diesel or LPG.

..... and me! I used to get 23/24 mpgin the Senator, the omega tends to be more like 20/21mpg
I know it's not a great deal different, but I'd have expected the replacement car to be better .... not worse.
Doh! Forgot! :-? They didn't replace the Senator :( - it was dropped, the Omega was a replacement for the Carlton. :'(
-
Yep,I was astounded when my 2.5 mig proved to be less economical than my 24v Senator.
Still thats progress I suppose. ::)
