Hi Nige.
Great video, clear and very well done. Personally I think these older Cowley cars are the best. Other than the minor flaws you have pointed out the car seems top notch. I just wish I could afford it right now. Sadly unless I sell my 75 that is every bit a clean as yours I don't have the cash. I'm due a new knee in May so an auto would be great but I'm on SSP till I recover so cash will be tight. So if anyone fancies COA for a good price id take yours. COA has been 100% for months and all its issues are fixed.

Quite agree about Cowley cars, I love my Longbridge car but there are build quality niggles I never had with my W reg. Cowley car.

Maybe that's why my Cowley car is still my avatar.

That's strange because I seem to remember reading somewhere that Longbridge cars were better built. I know it does depend a lot on where and how a car is kept but this Cowley saloon is cleaner underneath than my 04 tourer. By cleaner I mean there is still far more original paint left on underbody parts. I had my tyre guy stick it on the lift for me and I was amazed at just how clean it was underneath. Bit of surface rust around the hoop on the spare well, very little else.

She just needs some tlc and a bit of time. Even the cleanup I gave her was a very quick splash. All the door lips and boot rim were think with green slime. It just washed off with a damp cloth. The interior was really mucky but again, it was just lack of regular cleaning. An hour with a damp cloth and a vacuum and up she came. There are lots of odds and ends that a trip to the breakers would resolve (no yards around here for me) some trim was missing (cupholder and driver blank)that I ordered from a member along with a replacement door handle for the rear door.
I know what you mean about the auto. I have always preferred them and was really glad to get my tourer as it makes a huge difference to the old bod'.
You got plenty of off-road parking space Trevor ?

Hi Nige.
I'm not bad for room. I can easily have the ZT, 75, the doblo and have my daughters VW Beetle all behind my gates. The Beetle though only visits about once a month

That's definitely the way to advertise a car, the videos are just great. Well done and I hope you get a member to buy it, it looks great.

murphyv310 · 8th March 2015, 15:03

Hi.
I've sent Nige a PM regarding the car.
If all goes well COA will be advertised soon.
Watch this space!

A great video Nigel, it was the distance that beat me. good luck with a sale

Ennine · 8th March 2015, 18:25

Thanks to all that have shown interest.
My apologies to stockport 75 Peter you were not usurped over the car. I had exchanged PMs with Trevor earlier and was awaiting a reply from him before I answered your last PM. Now I kind of wish I had two.
I will of course update this thread accordingly when there is a definitive result to post.
