I think that you both pontificate too much on this. You are way out of tune though I guess you might have to be of a certain age to understand the connection bringing music to your ears ... not forgetting the model of the car.

Just noticed you have a derv ... how about Fergie.

Yes Ronnie, you are correct. Connie Francis as relates to the model of the subject Rover 75 ... a Connoisseur or Connie as affectionately referred to by many enthusiasts.

I don't think that there was any attempt to catch you Rob. My suggestion of name was genuine as Connie Francis came through adversity and has stood the test of time ... a bit like the Rover 75/MG ZT to some enthusiasts. And she could sing with the best of them too though she was a little before my time but maybe not as much as some that I like to listen to.

Can't work out if its a reference to the singer's name or the song title is a reflection on the decision to buy a 75!

Francis was a name suggested for the car as it's a Connie, I just chose that song because I thought it was apt for a new 75 owner
