Must be the white-balance on the camera the picture was taken on

Default Door finishers


Here is another picture of the same car taken at the same time.
Camera a 6.1 megapixel Olympus but taken at low res,and yes it does look
a bit blue. The car is defo. BRG. So I guess I will have to improve my camera skills.

Irrespective of the colour, thats a LOT of car for the money!

Bet that doesn't take long to sell at that price..

the salesman if he would just sell me the door finishers, explaining that

He said he would have to check with his boss. You can guess the reply
especially from a Yorkshireman..Yes I could have the door finishers price
£2895 with a free Rover 75..Oh well I will have to wait for the club to come
through with a set..
Like your cheek, NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- good try. Looks Dark Blue on my screen too, must be your camera..... surely. We can't ALL be wrong................. can we
Interesting. I have been hunting for just one door finisher for nearly a year and have looked at nearly every car and door for sale on ebay, and contacted many car breakers. This is the very first car or door with finishers on. So suppose one can really describe them as RARE

I saw for sale this 2.5 Connoisseur in Moonstone Green complete with chrome door handle finishers today in Bradford.
You are right the chrome door finishers are rare! but not impossible to find.
As I have not visited the garage maybe a different approach is needed.
Perhaps a visit at midnight with a screwdriver?
Then again that would not be right and there is always the possibility of damaging the door finishers.

Well I suppose they had to show up sometime. Probably like the buses, nothing then 8! come along at the same time. :lol:
BTW, if you need funds for Christmas, they come off quite easily with a thin blade, then you stick them on ebay,quick before the club ones are available.
Remembering RARE ......... of course

Seeing that picture reminded me ( if I needed reminding) why I bought my 75 Conn SE in Moonstone Green - isn't it just gorgeous?

No they rust up in seconds or mine do each time I give it a wash. Mine is definately Blue which is perhaps the new BRG

Just to prove the car is BRG here is a third picture.
It just goes to show how poor my camera is.
