Title: Senator cleaned and ready for Sale
Post by: tunnie on 05 August 2007, 14:30:19
I have been home less than 24 hours, but the Senator has now been cleaned, it was it a terrible state inside! 2 weeks of 3 blokes not giving a dam about it!  ;D

But its now clean and ready for auto trader, some pictures I have just taken & will use:

If you don't have the code and guessing that that may not be the original HU from delivery (Quite a few of those ones were swapped by the dealers due to various faults) then i'd pull the unit and see if the code is written on it.... dealers are like the computer users where I work - passwords and codes are written on post it notes and stuck on the box!

It's a no loose situation to have a look!

already looked mate, when i originally swapped it out for a replacement unit. It had vauxhall and senator written on some masking tape on the top, few other things. But no code  :(

Looking at the headunit, i don't think its factory original as it has that masking tape....

I bought it off a mechanic, who knew some history of the car. But no details on the radio or anything

:)No messing i'd love to buy it, here come the buts:-
      A Have only got a few hundred quid as my catchnet.
      B I i bought it it'd have a full resto in the "knockin' shop" (which i ca'nt afford)
      C Still need to sell Landrover( full galv chassis & everything @ my expense)
      D Refer back a few weeks to my beware finance post.
      E Fixed rate mortgage period ends sept.
           Do'nt sell it to some pillock who'll run it into ground & give it away to banger racers in a years time. It's famous now-- Harry Potter--Life on Mars--James Bond--Del Boy!!!! EURO TRIP??
             18 months too early, i'd love to do a full 12 month resto project but you'd wanna buy it back! :P

It would. It was an impressive high-speed cruising machine for the money.

I would love to keep it and use it for such events, but do not have the space to store it.

Be nice to see it sold to a member here!

It's certainly fun. And you're right about non-contact. Saw one nearly roll over at a sprint at Goodwood last weekend from clipping a tyre wall :o

Then again, thinking about it, a couple of hours later I saw a Porker 944 do the same thing on the same tyre wall and end up on its' roof.
