New owner!
 
Hi everyone,

Bought my first 75 this morning from an ad on eBay, she's a Black 75 Classic SE tourer with 'union' alloys.
So far love the car it is a petrol 1.8 but has had over 2k spent on it in the last 2 years a new head gasket skim and cam belt change about 10k miles ago.
She has a few scratchs and a bumper scuff but overall the bodywork is in fair nick. I will post up some pics tomorrow.
For now I have a few q's!
1, the car doesn't have roof rails - can I obtain these and fit them myself?
2, only one key supplied can I get another?
3, the load cover could do with renewing again can I get a new one?
4, any likely worthwhile little tweaks you experts can recommend to me?.

Thanks I'm happy to be part of forum now having had it a day it's a very enjoyable feeling owning one even if Iam only 31!

Mike

wellcome aboard the rear loadspace covers are still available but they are a bit pricey .your best bet is to put up a add in the wanted section or look on the bay same for the roof rails .as for the key this can as far as i no be done buy a ex mg rover dealer or a xpart center as it has to be programmed for your car in the meantime you could just get a key cut which if you lock your keys in the car would enable you to get in in the meantime enjoy:}

yes but they can be expensive
2, only one key supplied can I get another?
yes, see Lates, a member on the club
3, the load cover could do with renewing again can I get a new one?
They pop up on the bay sometimes but fetch a good price, they also pop up on here and gowithin minutes
4, any likely worthwhile little tweaks you experts can recommend to me?.
OMG, loads of them, best to read up on all the mods you can do
