Default I'm back....and on the hunt!

Hello folks!

Some of you may remember me from the early meets organised by the Owners Club and several Longbridge tours organised before the club was established.

My current car is a Citroen C5 2.2 HDi which I've owned since January 2009, I can't fault the Citroen but I just don't have the emotional attachment to it as I did with my 75's and ZT in the past.

I'm keeping the Citroen but I'm now on the hunt for a 75 I can treasure for many years to come.

I'm hunting for a Cowley built Connoisseur SE, V6 Auto in Atlantic Blue or Copperleaf Red although I wouldn't say no to any colour really (except maybe Yellow)!

Just in case your wondering, I have previously owned the following examples of the world's finest car:

75 Club SE, 2.0 V6, Atlantic Blue (1999)
75 Connoisseur SE, 2.0 CDTi, White Gold (2002)
ZT 180 +, Sports Auto, Le Mans Green (2003)

I have exactly what you want. But She is not for sale! I love her too much. I will keep my eyes open for a similar car though.

To be "ideal" it would have to be a series one CDTI Conny automatic.
