Description:

1996 Holden VS Senator 185i Series II Sedan - Black - 222,984km - 5.0L V8 Automatic



Overview



The 1996 Holden VS Senator 185i represents one of the most desirable luxury performance sedans of the Australian 1990s. Produced by HSV, the Senator 185i combined the proven Holden Commodore platform with enhanced performance, premium appointments and distinctive styling that positioned it above the standard Commodore range.



Finished in black, this example presents with the understated presence that made the Senator such an appealing executive performance sedan. The Senator-specific styling, luxury appointments and V8 performance credentials distinguish it from standard Commodore models and reinforce its position as HSV's premium touring sedan of the era.



The interior is trimmed in grey leather and cloth, reflecting the Senator's luxury-oriented specification. Seating, dashboard and trim components show wear consistent with the vehicle's age and 222,984 kilometres of use. Climate control is fitted, and the spacious five-seat configuration provides comfortable accommodation for both driver and passengers.



Under the bonnet is Holden's naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8, with the Senator 185i designation referring to the vehicle's 185kW output. Paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel-drive layout, it remains an engaging and capable Australian-built performance sedan.
