Engine Excellent, Leather Interior Excellent

Heated Seats, Electric Mirrors, Electric Windows, Electric Sunroof, Onboard Computer all working

Aircon not working though (can't be bothered to fix it)

A small amount of rust on bottom of doors but arches not bad at all.

Tunnie will give you £250 for it!  

Sounds like a good one, enjoy.

Ah. Well!

I may have paid £250 for it but then drove it 40 miles and have removed some rubbish from it. Therefore I now value it at £500

Just had a look, that is a very tidy looking one, rear arches look very good. Love the digi dash too, that would be purrrrfect for my trip  

What are you long term plans for it, is this a project to fix up and sell on? - If so you might already have a buyer!  

[Gwilym]

I always wanted one and now I have one. That is about the extent of my plans so far! I have no idea what I am going to do with it and don't know if I will keep it 2 weeks or 2 years.

I will let you know though, when are you off travelling?

Early July, however i get very busy in 2 months time. Due to other things as well Made In Brunel show and so on, i'd like to get the car this month or next.

Then run it as my 'main' car doing the runs back home and so on, just to iron out any niggles and get it running nicely. Few oil changes ect...

So if there was one going now, i'd buy it....

Omegatoy knows of one going cheap but unsure on a few details he is going to look into it for me.

I really like yours its got the digi dash and black leather!!   - There is a danger i will like it more than my Omega!  

[Gwilym]

Tell you what.

If you don't get yourself sorted with one in the next couple of months, come back to me and we can negotiate a good price if I am willing to sell it or possibly I might let you borrow it if I decide not to sell.

That sounds like a plan!  

However my main purpose of getting another car rather than taking my Omega, is its going to get thrashed! The whole idea of me taking a cheap £300 ish Senator is if someone bashes their door into me or i have a slight scrape with something i am not going to mind.

If I was borrowing it, i'd have to be careful i would treat it well! - Tbh thats not something i want to do, as TheBoy will comment i don't drive fast and hard, i'd like something to chuck around and pi$$ off Saxo's with  

[Gwilym]

Fair enough mate. Come back to me in a few months if you haven't found one and see how I am minded. I might be bored of it by then, I might have put it in a ditch, who knows.

All I need to do is the rust on the doors and the drivers mirror and a good polish and then it is sorted. It runs so much quieter than my MV6 and I reckon it is quicker

Quieter than your MV6? - Thats interesting yours is a facelift!

Bloody hell!! - I bet i like the senny more than my Omega especially since with a straight six 3.0 vs 2.2 4 pot

I mean the engine at tickover is quieter. I have got a small hole in my MV6 exhaust which makes it a bit noisier and is holding it back a bit. I thought the Senny had stalled at one set of lights cos I couldn't hear it. When I dabbed the pedal it was definatly still running. Nice.

Me 1, Corsa in next lane 0, Dad in his rover behind me gone. Had to pull in for him to catch up.

Also it is only opinion, I have yet to set a 0 - 60 time in the Senny so could be quite wrong, perhaps I am just smitten by it

[tunnie]

I would imagine a Senator to be lighter than your MV6, so its quite possible its going to be faster!

Really sounds like fun to drive, I want one!  

[Admin]

I felt sad about selling our Senator. Sure it had a few electrical niggles, but it was a hoot to drive and once chipped was damn quick!

Remember also, a straight 6 will be smoother than a V6, just a fact of life.

I am starting to want another one now!
