Default Time to say goodbye

Last pics of the project 75 before it goes onto it's new owner tomorrow. Given it a good clean inside and out ready to go. Quite sad that it'll be going, has been an absolute pleasure to drive. Hopefully the new owner will love it

You have put a lot of work into that, some one is very lucky to own her.

What a beauty, - I love the grille treatment. Black always looks class when it's polished, especially with all the bling that comes with a Mk1, but shows up the least puddle splash. Still, dunno how you can bear to part with it, unless you have others, even better!

Royal Blue was always my favourite mark 1 colour. That car was entering into how my dream mk 1 would look. If the new owner doesn't love it they should get therapy.

Thank you this one's actually Royal Blue, in the evenings and in the dark it does start to look black. My dad's 75 is PBT and his previous one was Raven Black so know what you mean, just a pain to keep black clean and looking scratch free.

Yes unfortunately I couldn't justify the cost of running 3 of these, I have a Typhoon ZT which I'm currently spending a lot of money on, a ZT-T 190 SE which I recently acquired which will soon be my new daily and obviously this one until tomorrow. I also run a MG TF with my girlfriend so at our age (we're both 24) running so many cars becomes expensive due to insurance.

It's a real shame to let it go, but at least it's going to a member on here who I know will look after it well

Haha cheers Would agree, Royal Blue, Raven Black, Oddessy Blue and British Racing Green are probably my favourite mki colours excluding monogram colour options.
