These are his words

The car is a 24v auto. I think it's a 1992, it's on a private plate B6 SEN. The colour of the car is described as black but I think it's a dark grey colour. It has a light grey leather interior which is in VERY good condition.
I have owned the car for about three years now. I bought it of a member called Lionel who lived near Oxford. Lionel's hobby was to try and create the best Senator in the land. He did not drive it much but just worked on it. When I bought the car, the only true description I could give it was just about concourse. Ever nut and bolt on the car had been replaced. Because the car spent so much time in the garage Lionel had removed the air con compressor and he had replaced the adjustable suspension. The engine had been fitted with new chains and tensions and chipped and he told me that the gear box had also been chipped. It had been fitted with EBC brakes and braided hoses but I have replaced the discs and pad with non-EBC stuff.
The car has just turned 80,000 miles. I bought it with around 60,000 on the clock and have changed the oil and filter every 5,000 miles.
There are a few very light scratches to the pain work where clothing has brushed against it but other wise there is not a mark on this car. I have driver Senators for about 20 years now and I can truthfully say that I have not seen a car in this condition before. Some are as clean but they do not have this car's history of being rebuilt. There is no rust. The rear arches, nor any other part of the car have ever been welded. The only problem that I know of is that there is a rattle when you go over a speed hump or similar. I'm sure that it is the heat shield on the exhaust down pipes which has come loose and can be moved. The car is also fitted with what I'm told is a Richard Brunt stainless steel exhaust with chrome rectangular tail pipes. It had 16 or 17in wheel on when I bought it but I have replaced these with refurbished CD alloys.
The only thing which is cosmetically missing from the car are the pin stripes. Lionel did not like them so when he had the car repainted he did not have them replaced.
If any one wants any more details please let me know

if no one buys it hes going to put in the xxxxxxxxx scheme hence the £2000 as thats what he will get i beleive he will take 1800 though. sham if that happens but not everyone will think its worth that now .
a year ago it would have sold quickly but now not everyone has the cash, or are worried about job security etc.been on autobahn site for a while now

this has been discussed at length on abs
tbh i just dont get it !
yes its a very nice senny , know doubt about it ,
but 2k in this day and age , imho not a chance

seen like its a gun to head syndrome , buy my senny at 2k or its going to the big scrap yard in the sky

i said , stick it on ebay , it will find a sellers level , as its really nice

no
what about carand classic , maybe a bit more reputable that ebay , nah its not even on there !

so does the seller really what other people to have it , i,m not sure !!

surely the thing to do is CUT IT LOOSE ,!!

doubt it would be 2k in the current financial climate , it does look like a really nice car but 2k , i don't think so .
would be nice to see it go to a good home though .

anyone who is looking for a really good senny this is probaly one of the last chances you will get.
but he does seem to be using xxxxxxxxx scheme as leverage on price .
And only a senny nutter will spend £2000 on it at the moment.
i must admit if i hadnt had mine for a while now done a few jobs spent lots of money and prefer its colour and know it had it 6 years .
, plus mine is also a manuel which i just prefer to auto i my have bought it.
