Poll added, just for a giggle.  Please limit yourself to, say, 3 votes. 

Will also move to genchat so more can see/read/learn.....  ;)

As rare as it is is I can't see it going for that much really. It's rarity being it's downfall, parts will be unavailable especially for the 4x4 system I would imagine. And at the end of the day when it is driving down the road how do you tell it is a 4x4.

Still like to own it mind  :y

And how many other sennys of that age are you going to find being pushed around the bends at the same time your 4x4 is on the road.  ;D ;D

And because of the extra weight a normal senny will leave you for dead on the non twisty bits.  ;D ;D

I will add, that I would def try and buy it if I had the money..

£600. Spares and it hasn't the wow factor of some old cars.

Thats it now just over a grand with still 5 days to go....

Wonder what it will finally end at.....  :o

I'll bet there's a bidding frenzy goes on at the end of the auction and i'll further bet the winner is going to be very disappointed when he picks it up. :-X

Why exactly?. I wasn't at all disappointed when I picked it up!.
I searched for many many years to find one of these, and I'm not best pleased at having to sell it now I can tell you.  :-/

Nice car.

Why are you selling?

Thanks.
I am selling it because I have just too many projects and not enough time to do them all justice. Finding this FF Senator was one of those Eureka moments that only happen a couple of times in life, and I hate the fact that it now has to sit outside.  :-[
Hopefully the next owner will be as enthused with it as I have been - it will be a fantastic project and an almost unique car.

I hope you find her a decent home. It's been a learning curve for me as i remember those cars, but i didn't know they made such as that one 8-) 8-)

If some spotty chav appears with a wad of cash shoot him & don't let him take her ;D She deserves better :y
