Yes, I reckon he has.  Got some rust on it that really needs treating if he's gonna keep it beyond euro trip.

Is apparently been stood idle for 2 years, so needs a few simple things doing....

Nice one Tunnie!  ;)

I am GREEN with envy - this is the sort of car that I lusted after in my Senator Brochure.

What I really like is the digital dash along with the overall condition of the car of course.  Boot could do with a bit of a clean out though! ;D

What REALLY does it for me though, and most people will probably think me quite sad, is the full length "wood effect" trims on the doors.  Just like the ones in my Cavalier.  I think that the Omega trims are quite a poor effort.

I wish you every luck with your trip around Europe and may you enjoy ever single mile - you certainly have a mile muncher there!

Tunnie - That would be great!  Drop me a PM if you are in the area - I work in Uxbridge (on the industrial estate) so if you are at uni it is nice and close.

Looks cracking motor. :y How does it compare with the Omega for ride, handling, space?. I am wondering if in designing the Omega they took the basic floorpan/suspension and made it better or cheaper?. :)

Its unfair to compare the older Senator to newer Omega.  But...

Interior space is similar, but ride and handling aren't up to Omega.  Still very comfortable though...
