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... :'(
-
Looks good outside and looks even better on the inside. As long as the engine has been looked after, should be a good buy! :)
-
its a 12v by the look of it, totally unburstable as long as it has some oil changes!!! :y
-
Would be a bonus if it had a gold top fitted :y
-
looks very nice
-
Hm now that is interesting, even swmbo heard me thinking..... :o :o
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..... :-/ :-/ :-/
-
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. :y :y
-
Aye, I'd love a 24v (in manual flavour - sorry Andy... :-[ ;D), 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 ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
Yes, I keep telling myself that when I refill my Omega at the pump, 38mpg later... :P ;D
-
Hummm manual Omega with 24v Senny engine + LPG? :D
Much better than those Poxy V6's :-X

Torquey and performance similar to smaller Omega V6s
2.5 Senator is a waste of time 2.0 Carlton was much better.
-
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. :y

You wish... :D :D :D or you are on LPG.... ::) ::)

Nowt wrong with three pedals Andy, better MPG for a start too ;)
I loved my Senny with three pedals and LSD 8-)
