Just seen this Senny for sale, on Retro Rides:
http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=FSW&action=display&thread=101392

Pics not too great, but it looks like a good un!  If only I had the spare pennies... 

[blackviper90210]

Looks good outside and looks even better on the inside. As long as the engine has been looked after, should be a good buy! 

[Omegatoy]

its a 12v by the look of it, totally unburstable as long as it has some oil changes!!!

[hoofing it]

Would be a bonus if it had a gold top fitted

[millwall]

looks very nice

[Vamps]

Hm now that is interesting, even swmbo heard me thinking.....

12v engine, how did these perform and what would mpg be?   Possibly thinking of getting a Toy, and giving my Mig to swmbo and getting a small diesel run around for work..... :-/ :-/ :-/

[Andy B]

Carlton alloys fitted.

performance between a 12v & 24v is like chalk & cheese, but that's not to say a 12v is slow. As Graeme says, you can't break a 12v ..... they last for ever & you can't give the engines away. 

[damon80]

Aye, I'd love a 24v (in manual flavour - sorry Andy...    ), but this one looks like a genuine example.

I keep looking at my bank balance, doing the sums, but it ain't happening...

An ABS member swapped 2 pedals for 3 in a Senator and liked it that much he took the third pedal back out. I've never driven one, but they say that a manual Senator isn't that great ........... like an Omega 

[damon80]

Yes, I keep telling myself that when I refill my Omega at the pump, 38mpg later...   

[tunnie]

Hummm manual Omega with 24v Senny engine + LPG? 

Much better than those Poxy V6's

Torquey and performance similar to smaller Omega V6s

2.5 Senator is a waste of time 2.0 Carlton was much better.

[albitz]

I would like to see what happens to a v6 if someone bored it out to 3.6,fitted twin turbos and increased the power output by around 75%. 
I agree about the 2.5 senny btw. I wouldnt even bother with a 3.0 12v. It has to be the 24v.

You wish... or you are on LPG....
