Default 'Gem' the 75 Conny SE

Drove down to Lincoln from Scotland to collect this, 2 owners from new, a father passed it down to his son after replacing it with a Jag XF after almost 13 years!

Body wise it's tidy, few Marks significant with age, alloys are ok but need a refurb and one has a slight buckle on the lip. Interior needs cleaned but is tidy overall.

History is good, October 2016 it had a brand new inlet manifold and a new coil at a cost of £787.92! Only thing mechanically I know it needs is the belts changing. It averaged 39.7 mpg on the motorways and 35 - 37.6mpg on the dual and single carriageways and is very quiet, definitely one of the quietest V6 engines I've heard even with the bonnet open!

Spec wise being a Conny SE is good, even has powerfolds and a drivers side cup holder. Drivers cup holder was specified when new apparently, didn't know it was an option here?

It needs a new battery.
Mirrors don't adjust properly, they go in and down but not out and up, suspect the switch pack so will clean it and if that doesn't work I'll replace it later.
Both heated front seats don't work so I suspect a fuse is at fault?
Boot catch doesn't close without a good bang, I've played about with the rubber bungs and still does it so think I'll need to replace or adjust that also.

So far that's all I've found, so for now and especially for Ravinder, here's some photos taken today at my dads after jump starting it to move it into the driveway, the jeep sticking out was used to jump it, it isn't always parked like that btw lol,
