Hi Nigel,

As requested here is a picture of your car for the gallery.

I must say I don't think I have ever seen a better plate or a finer example of how good a 75 can look when polished.

Absolutely stunning sir!

Indeed!

Nigel emailed a list of all the mods he has done and I am really impressed. The car has only done 5,000 miles as well so is absolutley pristine.

Okay, Nigel has emailed me more up to date photographs of his beautiful car (plus some from 2009).

We'll start with the exterior modifications:

Engine Bay

Chrome Fog Light Surround

Painted Calipers & St/St centre caps

Rear spoiler & exhaust

The double horn install

And the boot trim and case.

Interior shots to follow shortly

Interior. Again some more recent plus some from 2009.

Door trims

Seat switches (2009)

Interior (2009 pre DD)

Footwell Lights (2009)

Now with DD (with walnut trim)

LED Interior lights and walnut trim

Centre lidded cubby

And a close up of the detail in the door capping and driver's window switch.

Wow what a car and only 5000 miles

dentricrio · 4th April 2011, 21:49

WOW, that is the best kept car I have ever seen, it looks brand new!

I'm very jealous.

This is one of the tidiest examples I've ever seen.
I wish I could make mine look so clean but at around 23x the mileage I've got my work cut out
