Gsi Carlton or 24v senator

...

Unfortunately not, have you passed that way recently.

No I will be up that way this weekend will take a look

still looking chaps.

I sent you a pm cactus, you never replied??

Got a senator been sat in a garage for about 10 years engine still fires up and sounds good. Located near Skegness bodywork not great

My mates one is still available...

It's going fot the MOT this week.

5 years later, and still looking. Surly somome has one sitting away they'd sell. Bump

I have a J reg 3.0 24v Auto Senator in Diamond Black.

I rescued it last year, local scrapyard know I like Senators, and they bought it locally.

The owner had died, the son was executor of the estate, found the Senator in the garage, and didn't want to do anything with it.

It had been in there 15+ years, long enough to not accrue 1 MOT since it went digital/online.

The local scrapyard picked it up, and immediately called me and I bought it as it was.

I've had it since November 2019, and in that time, i've swapped all the tyres for good tread tyres as the old ones were perished beyond use.

I've bypassed the fuel pump relay as that is borked.

I've bought a Bosch 401 copy fuel pump, removed the internal pump from the tank as that was seized, fitted the Bosch copy externally, and now she starts, runs and drives.

She's done approx 147,000 miles.

She's the full CDi model, so Grey leather interior, Lattice alloy wheels, Headlight wipers, all the spec you would expect from a Senator 3.0 24v CDi.

I'm in two minds what to do with her because I recently bought back my Astra 3.0 V6 I built way back in 2008, and after 11 years, i've been reunited with her, which kinda spoils keeping the Senator.

Rear arches have the usual rust, has a bit of rust at the base of the rear footwells but thats easily fixed by pulling up the carpet and welding from inside.

After many, many, MANY months of waiting, i've also got the logbook which is in my name.

If you're interested, you can PM me your email and i'll send some pictures of the old girl.

I paid a very sensible price for her, i.e. I didn't get it anywhere near scrap value and the scrap yard knew I would pay a decent price to ensure I got it and it didn't go elsewhere.

I can afford to keep it, I have the internal space in my unit to keep it and it not get in the way.

Assuming the pictures interest you, i'll leave it to you to make a valuation on it.

I am not expecting mega money for it, but these are getting thinner on the ground, so its surely not being given away for pennies.

If I get the right price, it can go, if not, i'll happily keep it and just get it back up to 100% running and MOT'd and keep it, because frankly I like them, but it doesn't make sense to keep the 3.0 Senator and a 3.0 Astra, and the latter is quite a bit quicker and more fun!
