After nearly eighteen months together we'll have to part!

I've fallen in love again - this time with a Rosso Pearl Tam! cloud9

So, with a lot of sadness the Cooper Green Chim 400 will have to be sold to make space in the garage for the new mistress.

Had a huge amount of fun with the Chim but she's getting on a bit (Dec 1994 & 62k miles) and spent a pile of money (like thousands!) - the car has been practically rebuilt over the last year by the boys at Henley Heritage!

I can't wait to get the Tam but I know I'll really miss the Chim! cry

Anybody else gone through this trauma?

Yes I can understand what you are going through, did the same 2 years ago. Do I miss the Chim, yes, but not that much. The V8 rumble is the biggest thing I miss, but just ordering a sports exhaust to make up for it!! As you have probably found out, the handling is far superior IMO in the Tam, so drivability is vastly improved, but I still have a soft spot for Chims....
