My Contemporary SE Hi-line KV6 2.5L manual is 20 today and now officially a 'classic'.
She was the 93,389th 75 and rolled off the production line at Longbridge 11.07 hrs. on Monday 15th March 2004, first registered March 24th as BX04 XET 9 days later (the handbook has Pheonix 09/03/2004 stamped in it, 6 days before it left the line??). There were exactly 600 more of this specification made and she was the 150th of 2,718 in XPower grey.
I'm the second private owners and she had about 6K as a demonstrator with Viking Motors.
Now at 179K and as far as I know still on the factory fitted clutch and the engine is as sweet as can be.
