2002 Connie Auto Diesel Saloon 67k garaged 19 yrs

****NOW SOLD****

For sale is my 2002 Connie Saloon Auto in silver. This is in immaculate condition with 67,525 on the clock.
It has only had 2 previous owners and was kept in a garage for 19 years up to when I bought it a year ago. Last year I moved house some distance away and did a lot of motorway driving so I have added 20k from when I bought it but it hasn't missed a beat. Up to that point it had only done an average of 2,500 miles a year.

Being a Connie it has the usual cruise control and heated seats and a Webasto that is working perfectly, it also has the Hi-Line sat nav which works perfectly too. The space saver spare has never been used and the jack etc is still in the original wrapping. I have included a photo of the front springs which are original and look like they just came off the production line. At the MOT the tester was stunned at the condition of the underside. The first thing I noticed when getting in the car was that the drivers seat felt brand new i.e. not soft and saggy like all the previous ones I'd had. It has 2 keys, the second of which appears never to have been used.

It has a full service history and since owning it I've given it 2 oil changes and replaced the windscreen washer pump for the MOT in November along with 2 front tyres.
The only downsides are that I've mislaid the wheel nut locking key and the rear tyres need replacing, for this reason I'm not asking what I think it is really worth. Also when the fuel level is low the usual temperamental gauge seems to give an odd reading which seems to be a common issue.. I've had the same problem with 6 of the 8 75s I've owned. There is a similar 75 on fleabay going for £4.5k so I think this is a realistic price based on the rare condition for a 20 year old car.

You will also see in the photos that it has a towbar fitted. I put that on last summer as I needed to be able to take my small trailer to the local tip so it hasn't pulled any significant weight. In any case, since taking the pictures I've removed it.
If possible I'd rather sell it through the club
MOT till 27 November.
I'm asking for £3,000.

Thank you

David.
