Reason for sale... Was going to see if I could get it/ me to veteran stage but wife has died and fun has gone out of things (I have come to the conclusion wives are an essential part of car maintenance "what are you doing now?!" inspires one!) ... so selling up.

Slight damage to front nearside wing from, I suspect, a 4X supermarket trolley!

What a sad story Richard, absolute gift. But if your sure that's what you want to do, good luck with the sale

I agree with Stocktake, a very sad story. I wish you all the best with an easy sale.

What a lovely rare colour too! I think they only made about 8 of these in that colour.

I wish the car was in Dorchester rather than Edinburgh, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

I am very sorry to learn that your wife passed away. Please accept my condolences. RIP
Losing your wife and now your car is quite unimaginable. A beautiful 75 and one which has obviously been well cared for and looks the business.

Astraeus · 12th August 2014, 22:18

Picking up Friday.

Well done Chris.

I know you will have that car looking a minter.

Was sorry to read the story with the previous owner though.
