Thought I,d seen a (Sennie) ghost !
« on: 14 February 2011, 21:48:18 »
Just saw this on fleabay, and thought someone had resurrected my old car, although closer inspection revealed Black leather rather than Grey. Brought back a few happy memories though. 8-) :)

The speedo is digital.All other instruments show digital graphs - a wonderful invention imo.Could also be converted from imperial to metric at the touch of a button. Speedo could be instantly changed from showing 93mph to 150 kph - which could give unsuspecting passengers a shock. ::) ;D

The Senator/Carlton digital dash wasn't very popular. Originally digital was standard fit with the analogue being a no cost option, but was later switched around so you had to opt for the better looking dash.  ;) ;) (I can't remember when the change was made  :-/)

when I changed from my Sennie to the Mig, I looked at the dash and felt like I had gone back in time by a decade or two.
But then as we know Andy - the Senator is the car the Omega could have been. :y :)

despite a tilting column (that the Senator always had  ;)) I don't feel comfortable with the wheel at an angle where I can see all the speedo. When comfy I can't see the top 1/3 of the speedo ie the important bit!  :-? ;D ;D
