Opel Senator
The Opel Senator was a large sedan launched in 1978 as a long-wheelbase version of the Opel Rekord E. It was complemented by a three-door fastback coupé version on the same platform called the Opel Monza.
The Senator A and Monza were initially sold in the United Kingdom as the Vauxhall Royale, as well as under their original names. It was also available as the Chevrolet Senator in South Africa.
A four-wheel-drive conversion by Ferguson was available in the UK.
The original Senator was facelifted in 1982. In the UK, this model was called the Vauxhall Senator.
A new model, the Senator B, arrived in 1987, a long-wheelbase version of the Opel Omega. There was no Monza equivalent. This model formed the basis of the Holden Commodore in Australia.
When the Omega was renewed for the 1994 model year, Opel considered that it was sufficiently represented in the Senator market by the top Omega MV6. Therefore, the Senator was cancelled after 1994.
