Hi Mick,

Jan & I were the proud owners from new of an earlier 400 Saloon 1.6 in BRG we ran for 14 yrs,very recently we gave her to my Sister to continue to run,as the motor with full service history good bodywork,reliable with 79000mls was too good a motor to scrap.

We always found her to be a lovely driver,comfortable,economical & in BRG,always polished up nice,have got to say Mick that looks a beautiful well looked after example,nice colour too,hope you have as many enjoyable driving days with her as we did,well done Sir.

Very Best Regards.

John.

Hi John

thanks for the kind words,I agree that the 400/45 range is very comfortable,well equipped and reliable.I'm using it as my daily driver at the moment but are hoping to allow it to join the 75 and coupe as a weekend car in the not too distant future.

best regards to you and Jan

75, 45 and coupe as a weekend car! how many weekends do you have?.......

Really nice, I like the colour. MIL has one exactly the same.

Those two blank switches beneath the AC display look about ready for the heated seat conversion.
