There's been a few changes in the last couple of weeks with my car's!
Ended up having to sell my celestial 190 due to financial issues, and I was a bit gutted to say the least!
I'd settled on the fact that I was going to make do with my cdti 75 tourer, which while it was a nice reliable car, it was in need of a bit of tidying up, and a few things sorting to get it through the next MOT in Oct.
Anyway, out of the blue I got talking to Paul d, who told me he'd put his celestial 75 up for sale, but was really struggling to find a buyer. It was pretty much on its way to the scrap man, as Paul had to move it on due to personal reasons.
Having known the car for a few years, and how much work Paul had put into it, I made him an offer to save it from being flattened! We came to a very reasonable deal, and the car came home with me! It's currently on 298,693 miles, although as is written up on here, there's been a huge amount of work done to it, and really the only things with that mileage are the bodywork and chassis.
And then thinking I couldn't get much luckier, a few days ago I saw a car advertised for sale up in Durham, that again was struggling to sell.
I spoke to the owner and asked if he'd be interested in a swap for my tourer, and he said yes as he was after a cdti tourer!
So, after a 500 mile round trip, I have now also got a 53 plate 75 Connie SE, 1.8t in white gold, with a genuine 42k miles! It has also got lots of history for work done to it, and it ran absolutely perfectly on the journey home.
It's the first 1.8t I've driven, and I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised! Lots of power and torque all through the rev range, reasonable on fuel, and didn't miss a beat even when sat in heavy traffic jams through roadworks!
So now I own the lowest mileage 75 I've ever actually seen in person, and also the highest mileage one too! And both of them are a serious credit to their previous owners!
