Default My New Car - 75 Connoiseur SE

Saved this from the crusher as the dealer had no interest because of its age it was a px taken at a garage where I was viewing a car for my brother inlaw ,to be honest I'd not even looked into ownership of one before but with its condition an huge history file and give away price I couldn't resist ,I think the last owner was a member as some of the paper printouts were from this site

I know what you mean but like he said with limited room he couldn't keep it there but I think he was happy knowing it was to be saved he even delivered it too ,I'll put some better pictures up at weekend .The funny thing is my brother inlaw is more exited to have have a go in it then his new car and admitted he's a bit envious

Well done for saving it, looks lovely Now watch the addiction grow Strange though, on a 51 plate, it has a plastic dash instead of a walnut one
