Most interesting 75 I've seen in a very long time

FrazzleTC · 2nd June 2015, 11:34

Well, here's an extremely rare sight. An S-reg, pre-production 75, complete with matt black hazard switch surround. If I could get shot of my ZT project, I'd be down like a shot, but, alas, I can't.

I'd urge ANYONE who is genuinely enthusiastic about keeping our cars on the road to go for this, and not just break it up with it being a Connoisseur SE with a walnut wheel.

I'd love to buy it, but I can't, so, if you're a 75 fan, buy it. Don't start emailing the seller telling them how rare it is, because you'll just force the price up. Buy it, and quickly.

As has been already said, let's hope that someone can save this early car!

"Dear seller, as its an old v6 and thirsty can I make you an offer for the steering wheel and interior if you don't get what you are asking for?

Hope you don't mind me asking, regards COAB."

Hope it goes to an enthusiast on here.
