This ad is for a memeber of the Autobahn Stormers who has limited access to the Net
These are his words
The car is a 24v auto. I think it's a 1992, it's on a private plate B6 SEN. The colour of the car is described as black but I think it's a dark grey colour. It has a light grey leather interior which is in VERY good condition.
I have owned the car for about three years now. I bought it of a member called Lionel who lived near Oxford. Lionel's hobby was to try and create the best Senator in the land. He did not drive it much but just worked on it. When I bought the car, the only true description I could give it was just about concourse. Ever nut and bolt on the car had been replaced. Because the car spent so much time in the garage Lionel had removed the air con compressor and he had replaced the adjustable suspension. The engine had been fitted with new chains and tensions and chipped and he told me that the gear box had also been chipped. It had been fitted with EBC brakes and braided hoses but I have replaced the discs and pad with non-EBC stuff.
The car has just turned 80,000 miles. I bought it with around 60,000 on the clock and have changed the oil and filter every 5,000 miles.
There are a few very light scratches to the pain work where clothing has brushed against it but other wise there is not a mark on this car. I have driver Senators for about 20 years now and I can truthfully say that I have not seen a car in this condition before. Some are as clean but they do not have this car's history of being rebuilt. There is no rust. The rear arches, nor any other part of the car have ever been welded. The only problem that I know of is that there is a rattle when you go over a speed hump or similar. I'm sure that it is the heat shield on the exhaust down pipes which has come loose and can be moved. The car is also fitted with what I'm told is a Richard Brunt stainless steel exhaust with chrome rectangular tail pipes. It had 16 or 17in wheel on when I bought it but I have replaced these with refurbished CD alloys.
The only thing which is cosmetically missing from the car are the pin stripes. Lionel did not like them so when he had the car repainted he did not have them replaced.
If any one wants any more details please let me know

oh boy this is Lionels old motor he had from new and to say its been babied is an understatement!! he bought a new set of new cats off me just because his were slight surfasce rust on them, he had a 2grand respray even tho the car spent its life in a heated garage because the paint wasnt shiny enough, he had the wheels totally refurbished and sent them back because the gold centres were not the correct shade etc etc etc,he changed the timing chains and tensioner blades just because he thought it might need doing, but instead of doing it the cheap way and leving the head on, he removed the cylinder head and fitted new gaskets everywhere etc etc the list of things he did to that cvar is endless!! the car drives better than new, when i knew it, havent seen it for a while admittedly but its definetly one of the best i have seen in all my years with the abs!!

I WANT IT. 8-) 8-) 8-)

Lovely car, i only hope he doesn't go through with his intention of using it as 2K off the price of new car using the scrappage scheme, what a waste :(.
-
Beautiful looking Senator, good luck with the sale :y
-
Carefull with the scrappage scheme Many dealers up the interest rates for this kind of deal and you end up paying far more than you would if you didn't trade anything.
If you do trade this car it will be a very sad day.
These cars are a classic. You look in any classic car magazine and there are many classics and vintage cars worth less than two grand yet the owners would not dream of selling putting them through the scrappage scheme
I had one of these and sold it to an enthusiast for far less than it was worth as it needed work on the rust. I just could not let it dissapear for ever.
This is just my View, If i had the money i would certainly be interested in this little gem. :'( :'( :'(
-
I'd sell a kidney to buy this, rather than it being scrappage'd. Hope someone does buy it, before i take the grinder to my hip.

Well all you Senator fans here's another, you may or may not be aware of , any good?

Was interested in this myself, but have something else to look out for.

Seen it but it has a velour interior not leather. Also think the colour is a bit off putting
