Overall I think the mk1 75 is nicer, especially the front end however I must say I think the boot lid on the mk2 is better. It looks cleaner without the keyhole and union jack badge and I think the enlarged chrome plinth is very nice. I'm also a big fan of the light oak dashboard although I do prefer walnut. I also like the fact you get a wooden steering wheel as standard on the mk2 Conn. SE and the forked alloys suit the car well.

Can't comment on quality differences as the only 75 I've sat in is my 52 reg.
