After months of searching for a replacement 75, after the mrs trashed it (see below).

I have finally found a good replacement for it.

Just need to swap over some of the good bits from the trashed one to this, and a few more bits of work, and she'll be good.

Was hoping it would be for sale a bit longer as it was on the radar.

Looks like a damn good one, take care of it smile

Indeed, want to try and find one in the next few months so hoping there will be a few out there.

Finally got the replacement 75 home. Came back from visiting relatives in the Isle of Man, picked it up from Liverpool and drove it back to Suffolk late Friday night. Faultless run home.

Guy sold it to finance 4C purchase.

I need to give the car a good going over next weekend, but I know it needs the following;
Rear arches
Headlining sorted out,
Rewire headlights
N/S headlight
Play in steering wheel vertical adjustment







I will see what bits I need to take off the trashed car, and put on this; suspension, 15" revos etc....

Stripped a load of bits off the trashed one and fitted the 15" revos at the weekend, it's just highlighted how high it's sitting at the mo, especially the rear.









Now have the 14s available if anyone wants them.
