Really is a lovely car - even more so that it's mechanically 100%!
The plate is my own. My first initial of my real name is "T" and my surname is "Hough" - guess how it's pronounced |

Certainly
The one photo from the ebay ad (bought unseen): After collecting: Boot floor - nice and clean! First "decent" photo after a good wash and valet: After fitting a brand new chrome topped gearknob I had stored for a while: After a big interior cleanup: Sporting a poppy on a frosty morning last November: Image taken for my signature: After fitting some LED interior lighting: Another autumn-y picture: Being a wedding car for a friend last month - pictured outside The Guildhall in Hull. Sans ribbons, because the groom refused to get in the car with them on I will never EVER tire of this dashboard: The car is only a Classic SE, and I paid around £500 for it. But it's got under 70k miles on, the previous owner had had the clutch, exhaust, tyres and brakes done too. I've had to do a few bits, such as the rear handbrake shoes, thermostat (was stuck open), and a few suspension bits, but with Trikey around the corner, it all gets done easily! Thanks for looking / reading! |

No problem! I've just been having a trawl through your launch car thread Fantastic stuff!
I will have myself either a launch car, or one of the Jap export ones in Dorchester Red at some point - but for now this is doing admirably as a daily driver. Nice to have the V6 in it as well. The interior is this car's big plus point. It might not be that well appointed (although does have (working) aircon etc... but it's in lovely condition! |

The 75 though is always a special place to be,be it a classic or connoisseur they are all special and yours is probably now a very rare entity being a classic as people like sticking different bits on |

Thats a lovely car. It would put a lot of newer cars to shame.
