Another addition - the launch car that was forgotten
Another car came to live with me today, and quite a rare one it is too.
It is a launch car but not the all singing and dancing Wedgwood one this is the 1.8 club that has a few additional toys such as headlamp wash, heated cloth seats, electric rear blind, front fog lamps and volumetric alarm. I want to post a huge thank you to Dave lincs for allowing me to take this car on, it is a car that has a very personal history for Dave and I have assured him it is in good hands and will get the care and attention it requires. There are some cosmetic issues that I will deal with over the next few months and one or two other minor issues to deal with but I have to say, having never owned a 1.8 before, i was really surprised how well it drives, not overly powerful but more than capable of holding its own and barely a rattle or creak from the trim or suspension. The cambelt is due for changing but having researched on the forum I probably won't have to bother as it looks alright to me so maybe I'll just leave it, NOT!!! 😂😂 Steve.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...167ec8c00e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d1af4b6739.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b2ff91a2f2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b26ba1eb7f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...10265b884b.jpg Sent from my XQ-AU52 using Tapatalk |

Ahaaa:cool: welcome to the dark side:D You just can't keep away Steve:duh:
Stunning looking car mate:bowdown: I do like the early colours;) |
The 1.8 is the perfect engine for the 75, the lightweight lump makes the driving experience so much nicer.
(And its easier to work on when the head gasket goes :getmecoat:) |
It is a superb car Steve and I know it has gone to a great home where it will be looked after as I said to you the 1.8 cars are so much lighter to drive
|
The inside looks in great condition

That's lovely. :}
Enjoy her. |
Lovely car & lovely colour @ssizefive! :drool4:
Same as mine: Atlantic blue. When did your 1.8 come out of the lines at Cowley? Likely before mine which was issued on the 1st of July 1999 I guess... :shrug: |
