Clean and shine the car? Check.

Drive to carpark for photos? Check.

Park across the bays, so car is attractively edged by grass and trees? Check.

Get the favourite, low-ish, macho angle? Check.

Wait 14 seconds for 2 randoms and their dogs to get out of shot? Nah, that's too much like effort....

A tough choice between this thread and the barge one for this car. I think on balance the appeal is the retroness of it. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-Opel-Senator-/1...

Only 51k miles. Lovely.

lets play a "rearrange the words game" with the main feature of those Senators.

into slide bush sideways

agree, retro/barge not barge/retro

Much want. I briefly had one the same spec as that, but mine came with the optional blown head gasket.

I do love a Senator and that's as good a one as I've seen in a while.


Lush.

Or indeed to rotate most of the photos so they are the right way up!

Much want for the Senator, on the other hand.

61k miles, a new MOT and only £795

I parked next to that very car in cribbs causeway last week!

How very random! Was it in good condition in the metal?

It seemed alright, it was getting a bit dark. I will warn whoever buys it to leave rice filled socks in it though.... steamed up like anything!

It's probably an unhealthy obsession I have with generally crap cars, but I really like this: -

How about this slice of Japan, looks like it could be had easily for less than the £1000 asking price as well.

I think it looks bloody awful, but I should be able to view that in person tomorrow afternoon if anyone wants it.

I am glad you cleared that for us ....and as a driver who has that engine/box in one of my cars (original fitments) I can say they are good for 150+.
What did you have to do to the mounts ?

Sorry, I missed your comment there, the mounts weren't too hard as the gearbox mount is a straight fit (in both a 205 and 405), the top mount and lower mounts were from a previous conversion and had been made by a fabricator. There are billet alloy top mounts available (my 205 uses one) but the guy who makes them hasn't made any in a while.

I spoke to the guy who is selling it and unfortunately the winning bidder never made contact, so it is back up on ebay with better pictures and a much better description:

Was reading about this seller a few months ago, poster was calling him every name under the sun (and some in the shade). Who knows if the nasty words were unfounded or not.

That Audi 80 is delicious. Pricey though.
