Cobez's Cherry Black 1996 VS Senator

[Cobez]

Well, i have finally graduated to the VR / VS Section of the forum

Picked this baby up yesterday from Colac. I'll get pics up in the next few hours. It's all 100% Genuine and bog stock besides the rear resonator being removed. It still has the original tape deck linked to the 10 stacker in the boot!!

Went to have a look at it down in Colac yesterday and fell in love with it straight away. As i said, it's 100% bog stock apart from the rear resonator being removed. 141,578 km's, original HSV owners compendium with every single piece of paper still in it, service history / log books with all the booklets and leaflets they give you with the car. It has a few small blemishes etc, but very easily touched up, and the drivers seat has a split in it about half the size of your hand. That's all that is wrong with it. Checked it all out with HSV and Vic Roads, no finance oweing, it's genuine and came from factory with the sunroof. It drives like a dream and sounds awesome with the rear resi taken out. I am the second owner i also found out, the older bloke and his wife i bought it from, had owned it from new and just purchased a VE Calais on wednesday, therefore they were selling the Senator.

It has been used as a work car for his wife from new, hence the low km's. It's been really well loved and looked after, not smoked in, regulary serviced etc. And it's a huge power increase compared to my VP V6 hahaha.

I'll get pics up ASAP.

Good stuff mate!! As for the huge power increase...........you'll soon get bored

[Cobez]

Hahaha, yeah, i definantly will. But i'm just going to enjoy it for a while. No exterior or interior mods AT ALL bar maybe a head unit and some upgraded speakers. Would seem a damn shame to mod a Senator that's been kept in such fantastic condition and all original.

[Cobez]

Ok here's 2 pics to prove i'm not lieing I'll get some better ones later once i take it out to go give it a sponge wash at the car wash. Quality is crap, but i'm not wasting money on a digital camera, when my phone does the job.

Cheers mate, just remembered it came with every single original flyer and booklet, including the Lion Members gold card (which expired in 99), the flyer for the company who does the sunroofs, the HSV tyre maintenance book and all the other crap, the service history, the owners compendium, all still in excellent condition.

Top find I say - becomming affordable at last.

For the 1st owner to keep it 12 years - they must have loved the car too.
