But at least it's still around I suppose. Any idea who's looking after it now? It was parked with another 75 in dark red with a BX51 reg, possibly suggesting it was registered straight from the factory too. It looked equally unloved, rather dirty with a space saver on the front.

I'm wondering if it now lives five minutes from me or if it was just visiting. I shall have to that way more often.

I'd add pictures but I'm not sure how to, there seem to no obvious links.
Thank you for your observations

Both cars are owned by Christopher who is a club director. BX51 in Copperleaf Red, he brought back from Malta. He did a big write up on that trip which you contributed to.

I don't know who is looking after them, if I may suggest, you pm Christopher if he is happy for you to post up photos of his 75's. You could be lucky in arranging a meet with the keeper for a guided tour with tea and biscuits. Have fun
