"silvervixen"
The latest acquisition to go alongside "BLUE" is this 1999 V reg 2.5ltr "COWLEY CONNY" V6 Auto,Silver,[hence her name,]Neptune Blue,Personal Line int,[Rover logo headrests]FSH 78000mls.
Had to save this one,as very nearly went for scrap,hopefully another Cowley Beauty saved,here she is; Some underlying problems need sorting,vis motors need replacing,fuel gauge faulty,brake discs will need replacing,plenums,& a general full sevice for the winter,should have her back in good shape,as she feels a nice runner now be good to see what she is like when sorted. Have alot of future plans for her,like;stainless steel exhaust,cat back,oh! and those wheels will have to go,thinking of a nice set of serpents,now for my personal touch,i am toying with the idea of duotoning her Royal Blue/Silver,my problem at the mo,not sure which way to go with it,so below are some pics i have colored on reflection i have one i think i may go for,but not really sure,so thought i would put it out to you guys to see what the general consensus may be or not,as the case may be,here goes. BEST REGARDS [& many thanks] John & Jan.

Old school vinyl roof would be my suggestion to match the black sills!
