UPDATE
I have since replaced 4 of the original speakers with JBL GTO627's 6.5" Multi Element speakers, they have amazing depth and clarity, i have also installed a 1.0 Farad Capacitor to my JBL Sub.

You could say - owning a 3.0ltr when your 19 is not a great idea but when you come across one of these in this condition you would be stupid not to!!!

Its the biggest, quickest most comfortable car ive owned yet with every conceivable extra - from cruise control to heated seats to electronic suspension control - but some how this is the cheapest car ive owned!!! I first had a Mini when i started driving - then soon after got a Corsa.
The original list price for the this model Senator back in 93/94 was around £29,000 so its surprising how this was cheaper than my previous cars - as for petrol - well that makes up for it!!!

Even though it drinks a fair bit, It does quite well for a 3.0ltr, the computer an average of 23mpg, if you compare that to an early 90's Jaguar then i cant complain!!!
Yeah you lot in the states might be thinking, "thats nothing compared to my 7.0ltr Corvette" but if you have a look at gas prices over here then you will see what i mean, over £1 a litre now, so that works out more than $2 a litre!!!...

Great car! I owned one, a 1989`s 3.0 12v with a manuel transmission in the same colour as yours! I still miss her every day... You know what I mean, the extreme gas prices in Holland, insurance(I was 22 at the time) etc etc.But still a great car! You can be proud of it!
