1996 HSV VS Senator 215i
1996 HSV VS Senator 215i four-door sedan finished in Tourmaline (dark metallic green). Rear-wheel drive configuration powered by a 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine tuned to 215kW, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Odometer indicating 107,694 kilometres. Seating for five occupants.
Description / Overview:
A genuine, authenticated 1996 HSV VS Senator 215i, Build #596, with the original HSV build plate dated 6 June 1996. VIN is consistent across the windscreen plate, door jamb compliance plate, and firewall build plate, confirming this is an unmolested, numbers-matching example. The car presents in the rare Tourmaline dark metallic green finish which is striking and well-preserved for a nearly 30-year-old vehicle.
The 5.0-litre L98 V8 with HSV's "215 Injection" tune is correct and original, with the factory HSV airbox and inlet manifold all present and matching. The engine bay is in fair condition for age with no visible leaks or modifications. The car has covered 107,694 kilometres which is low for its age and is a meaningful positive for a Senator of this era.
The interior is in driver-grade condition. Rear seats are in good shape. The driver's seat lower outboard bolster has foam exposed and will require attention. The dashboard top pad shows delamination and cracking, which is a known and common issue on VS-era HSV models. The ABS warning light is illuminated and will require diagnosis. A second warning light is also visible in the instrument cluster. Buyers are encouraged to conduct a physical inspection to assess these items.
