The spec on the Connoisseur SE V8 is a bit of a nightmare to unravel..

The car in the ad. is a normal SE with Symphony radio and a 6 disc changer, projector headlamps and no sunroof.

I have pictures of quite a few 75 Connoisseur SE V8's with exactly the same spec. but I cant post pictures at the moment.

I believe that most of the Connoisseur SE V8's that left Longbridge were upgraded to Zenon headlamps, sunroof and Hi Line sat nav, so many that the V8 in the ad looks "low spec" where as it is a standard SE.

The Contemporary SE V8 is different in that, there were so few, that they were all produced with a much higher spec compared to the Connoisseur SE.

But I agree that the ICE doesn't seem right for an SE.

Interesting. The ICE etc looks export spec.

Looks like a Symphony head unit.........the only other ones were Japanese spec ones which would require tinkering to work in the UK.

Here is a picture of another 75 V8 Connoisseur SE.

Its fitted with a Symphony radio.



I have pictures of another two 75 V8 with Symphony's, so quite a few with this spec..

Update on this one, I e.mailed the company saying I would like to see it but the asking price about £2k too high.
Answer, they would be pleased to make an appt to view but they would be looking for price advertised. They said they have sent a couple of 75s to mainland Europe this year and this may be a 3rd Dave

Begs the question???????????

I have had my V8 for 2 years, live in S.E.London and often get 14mpg (you fool yourself it will be better before buying)- so I do around 2500 miles a year, plus the constant worry of someone dinging the grill all makes for limited use. I am sure other owners are the same, so 11K is not unreasonable.
