1988 Vauxhall Senator CD review from UK and Ireland

Nothing car is A1.

Stunning car bought new in 1988 by an elderly chap who drove it seldomly for a few years until his eyesight failed; ownership was transferred to his wife who also only drove it seldomly for a few years.

The car always serviced by the main dealer and kept garaged, probably polished each outing.

Eventually the lady also retired from driving. the car was put in auction in almost mint condition and very low miles, and amazingly its third owner purchased the Senator for £75; not a printing error, £75 + buyers premium. I understand car was bought for a little over a £100.

I first saw the car as it was being displayed at Tatton park classic show and I was amazed at its condition. I spoke to its owner and asked should he sell it to contact me and give me first option. Two years later the chap rang me to ask was I still interested at £550, Of course I agreed and became the proud owner.

The car has still only done 54000 miles and has just had a little paintwork done in the rear o/s door shut area and a couple of little rust spots on the sill area.

A superb car in almost mint condition with almost no signs of use.
