So this car is a dealer factory order with a high spec and pretty early Connie SE. I'm just happy to have give an early car a new lease of life and now I have the springs sorted I'm very impressed, also owning a modem BMW I'm very impressed with the way the car handles, I was thinking it would be like a barge but it's very planted and composed and once you get the KV6 over 30000rpm it really goes well. I bought the car because of the massive spec and I'm a sucker for the personal line interiors, my favourite is the aubergine but I'll settle for Neptune! The options missing are H/K sound but I'm impressed with the standard alpine, it doesn't have power folds or auto wipers but does have the dimming rear view mirror.
