It's actually badged Opel, so I have amended the title. here it is in all it's unwashed glory

 

as promised. i had a few details wrong like its an Opel not a vauxhall number plate letters are wrong too.

Its developed a misfire at the moment think it maybe the old fuel coming through.

Its not been washed yet sorry as it started hammering down and it looks stinking at the moment

enjoy

Strangest manual box I've ever seen! Looks nice though.

has lots of potential that

Gorgeous. Only colour to have really with the delicious green velour.** Autoshiter's view

[FredTransit]

Sorry that should have said it' not a manual. I think pbottomley was looking for a manual.

[r.welfare]

I think the chances of finding a manual 3-litre are exceptionally slim...I had a manual 2.5 which was OK but the shift quality of these gearboxes is as bad as an 80's manual Merc, IMO. Green-on-green is THE colour combo to have, I had anthracite outside/grey inside which was dull by comparison!If the inner wings are sound around the suspension strut tops (difficult to tell from the photo), the electric windows and central locking work and the heater fan works on all speeds, it's a good one...

Slushomatic barge FTW! Mark.

[Owain-328i]

That is rather tasty indeed!! Love the old Senators

[FredTransit]

This car now has a new MOT, and the seller is looking for £600 for it. Sound fair?

[dollywobbler]

I should co co. £600 for something so gorgeously GREEN with fresh ticket? Tempting says I...
