PLEASE genuine buyers only Pictures do not do car justice you must see it drive past

Good car for new years as its definitely one of a kind - car being sold for a genuine reason


I think the 'LTD Club Edition' bit is :rubbish: .

The 75 isn't your usual candidate for 'boy racer' treatment, but the fact that it actually works quite well is a tribute to the 75's handsome lines.

I reckon this car epitomises bling.

Gah! My eyes! My eyes!

Definitely not my kind of wheels. :)

I wonder how a set of wire spoke wheels would fit the 75 though.

They can look pretty good :)

If I could afford wire wheels I would hunt a set down today. I think they look superb :)

I know I was talking to him about them at Beaulieu. He came through when we were on the gate................or were you in the little box at the time? :D

Talk about "Pimp my Ride" - IMNSHO those 20" chromes do nothing to enhance the R75, sorry, in fact I think they unbalance the lines.

Now the wires, they look great, but I bet they're not used everyday! My JZR 3 wheeler has painted wires, which are easier to maintain than chrome, but they are a pain to clean.

I was only dreaming about being in the box :drool4:
I was there when the Club75 contingent turned up en masse followed directly by Lucciano.
Looked like a full on invasion for a moment :)

Our Antipodean friends seem to have a penchant for these exaggerated wheelie things :)
Glad they are 12,000 miles away :)

Really like the colour on the white one.








No offence meant colonial people, just a little joke at your expense :D
I'm quite sure you will return the compliment :)
Like beating us........ again........at Rugby and Cricket :(

Obviously its each to there own but i really dont like those wire wheels, far to old school. Why put old looking wheels on a car thats modern, it aint no e type but visually were all different

The 20" wheels would look much better without the chrome, now that is far to much

I had 72 spoke chrome wire wheels on my C GT they were a nightmare to keep clean a nightmare to fit tyres to (inertube required) and a nightmare to balance! I loved them, they looked great and were worth all the hassel. I used the car as my every day transport so I had to keep them covered in WD40 all winter, that was fun to clean off in spring, NOT. :)

[Commodore]

My view:

The wire wheels look fantastic on the 75, add to the classic retro look of the car.

The 20-inch rims - the car looks great, I personally think the weeks look awful - horrible design, too shiny and too big for the car.

Red pimpmobile - not as bad as the 20inch rims, but fairly ugly - last time i saw anything like those they were in Richard Keel's gob in a bond movie.

[dom]

That is straight 'Gangsta', you would have to go out and smoke some homies in that bad boy, love the rims...

[Rob Bell]

20" wheels - it could work, but I don't like chrome wheels, and I think they've over done the lowering. Looks as though the suspension has collapsed.

Before we traded our 75 in for the ZTT, I was thinking of fitting ZT suspension and ZT 18" wheels to it - a combination that would look both standard, but with a twist.

Has anyone done this? I am sure that someone must have?

is it me or is the car very low spec for a conny?...i would say it was club spec at tops...only the leather is not club...but even they arn't heated...thought heat came as standard with leather???

Too right. Well the rugby @ least. We annilated France the other day 40something - 3.

The listing says it's a 'LTD Club Edition' , whatever that is. I'd say it's a Singaporean import; they tend to come with leather regardless of the optional extras.

As for my opinion of the car, don't get me wrong, I'd never do this to my car. But as far as boy racer cars go & with bling being the current tread, I can see how this car would appeal.
