Well, after the dilemma of do I/ don't I swap the Senator for the Manta Centaur (see other thread in general discussion) I finally plumped for the option staring me in the face all along... 1. Go through with the swap. 2. Buy another Senator, but better. So here it is. Same spec as before, a few more miles (148k), but still barely run in. Complete with spare 80k(allegedly) engine and the best bit? It's black!  This one also comes with rear arches! ;D     |

Hadn't thought of it like that, but I guess it is having cake & eating it! ;D Only downside is the camper going.  But that was a choice I had to make. I can always get another camper. Not likely to get another Manta drop top! |

I have theoretically replaced the car i'm selling 3 times now without any sale yet!  ;D Look forward to seeing the Manta, should be fun. |
