Carlisle 75 in British Racing Green with serpents

FrazzleTC · 25th May 2013, 15:28

I spotted a lovely 75 Connoisseur in British Racing green with sandstone leather, serpents, door finishers, Harman Kardon, etc. Y reg CDT. Looked fantastic in the car park.

If it was right at the far end it was my car. The car still needs a few things to complete. Passenger front door to swap, I have that stored away and the rear passenger internal door handle surround. I must get round to them soon!!

It may have been this great looking car, i wanted it, but was beating to the post

That the car thats on my drive and I have to say I was lucky to beat other interested parties. I have had the pleasure of adding 6k miles since my purchase. It is a nice contrast to the MG.

Thank you both firstly the spot and then the envy. I knew I would have to move quick when the car came up for sale. Buying purchase time line. Saw the sale thread spoke to son then wife 5mins e-mailed with offer. James called two hours later deal done!!

Yes indeed, parked right at the end. I didn't have my 75 today, otherwise I'd have parked nearby. Looked very smart, and left me really wanting Serpents on my own car!

Beautiful car! Nice colour too!

It is kept in showroom-state as we can see.

And I had the same feeling with Serpents, and since a week I do have them!

Looks a nice car

I just missed seeing this for sale otherwise i would have bought it back from james, I was very reluctant to sell it at the time but i needed something smaller, the remote heater was a godsend in the winter once you got to learn German LOL as the member who I bought it off had fitted a telephone remote but when you dialed the number to activate the heater the voice was in german for some reason, probably the best looking car i have ever owned, Happy day's

regards Bill.
