All,
I agree with Mike [BRG75] in supporting an honorary membership, if the Club could stretch to this. After all, if Richard had not designed the car, the Club may not have existed, and our individual interest would have gone elsewhere! Regards Kevin |

It's only a tenner per annum, l'm sure the yearly club funds could handle that.

I’m sure that wouldn’t be a problem, but he has to join first

Fantastic colour combination he has chosen - same as the CDT I had as a roundabout (I got lucky the first decent one I could buy quickly had such a lovely combination).
Copperleaf and Sandstone is very, very nice Oh and a 2.5 manual it looks like? My favourite combination too. (OK maybe it is a 2.0 but still it is a KV6 )

If you're reading this, Richard, I'll pay your membership fee several times over! We all love the 75 because, unlike the vast majority of cars, it is a work of art. You don't have to be driving it the whole time to enjoy it; you can just look at it! Were my hallway large enough, I'd have one sitting on a turntable on permanent display.
My other favourite car, also styled by Richard, is the Rover 55 which never made it to production. Feast your eyes on this and appreciate all of the exquisite details. https://www.aronline.co.uk/concepts-...-age-midliner/ |
