I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
how old is this vid, have u still got it? iv just passed my one on from lack of funds to sort it out, and on the look out for another one, as long as its clean.
P.S 'alextilson' im ashamed of you for scrapping your old one, never never never scrap them, they are a rare and have become a very cult classic car, you should of joined a 'Vauxhall' club and sold it on for spares, someone would of made good use of it, now thanks to you, there is one less on the road, tut tut.lol
Yes we still have the Senator but it is about to be scrapped as of 24 Nov 09, too rusty for MOT sadly. The engine is still in the car and can be heard running, in fact it was started up only a few minutes ago. See my eBay listings if you want to buy it!
fantastic motors, i had a 89 "G" reg from new, with a 3.0ltr engine, with leather seats, it was scrapped last year as the under carrage was rotten and beyond ecomonical repair, (never had any cause to return it to the dealer,) kept up with the service, and it was a fantastic motor, I made the mistake of buying a Omega (they are rubbish it spends more time in the garage) "big end bearings rattling" and valve oil seals gone, (crap car with shit engines) and thats the 3.0 engine, (V6)
wow in australia we call these VN statesman's and the look slightly different but we have an optoin of 3.8 buick v6 or 5.0 v8
