Info about this vehicle:

1998 HSV Senator VT Signature - Burgundy - 173,979km - 5.0L V8 Automatic, RWDOverviewThe HSV Senator represents the pinnacle of Australian performance engineering from the late 1990s. Built on the VT Commodore platform, the Signature variant combined raw V8 power with luxury appointments, creating a genuinely quick daily driver that could embarrass far more expensive imports. This particular example is a genuine Australian-delivered Signature model, finished in striking burgundy with the full complement of period features that made these cars so desirable. At 173,979 kilometres, it represents a well-used but honest example of HSV's most accessible performance sedan.The burgundy metallic paint presents with good depth and gloss across the visible panels. The bonnet shows minor stone chipping along the leading edge, consistent with highway use, whilst the body panels sit straight with even gaps throughout. The interior trim shows light patina appropriate to the age and mileage, with the leather seats displaying wear to the bolsters from regular use. The dashboard is intact and the instrument cluster reads clearly. This is a car that has been driven and enjoyed, not hidden away, and the condition reflects honest ownership rather than neglect.In the current market, late-model HSV Senators occupy a sweet spot for buyers seeking genuine V8 performance without the complexity of modern turbocharged engines. Comparable examples have sold in the $8,000 to $12,000 range depending on condition and mileage. This example, with its Signature specification and documented service history, represents fair value for a driver-quality example of an increasingly collectible Australian icon.ConditionThe exterior presents well for its age. Paint holds good gloss across all panels with minor stone chips on the bonnet leading edge and light surface crazing visible on the roof panel in certain light. The burgundy metallic finish is clean and the body is straight with no obvious dents or creases. Wheels are present and matching, showing light kerb wear consistent with age. The interior is tidy with the leather seats showing expected bolster wear from regular use. Dashboard is crack-free and all switches appear functional. The engine bay is clean and well-maintained, with the red-painted 5.0L V8 engine cover clearly visible. Fluid levels appear appropriate and there are no obvious leaks or modifications.Features* 5.0 litre naturally aspirated V8 engine producing 215kW* 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive* Rear wheel drive with limited-slip differential* Leather interior with power-adjustable front seats* Power steering, power windows, power locks* Air conditioning with climate control* AM/FM radio with cassette player* Cruise control* Alloy wheels with Bridgestone tyres* Sunroof* Servic
