My 75

Hey guys, recently joined this forum and the owner's club, bought my car last Saturday. It's a 2001 Connoisseur SE 1.8 manual saloon in Moonstone Green over Sandstone beige leather, and I couldn't be happier with it, it's so comfy and looks great! Gonna give it a properly good going over tomorrow, have already been emailing about what specific things to check and have been given some great advice, can't wait to be driving it in just over a year from now!

Welcome along, nice choice of car

great car in a great combo colour! make sure you tell us of your progress with it. If this is your first car, then you are very lucky, most people have some eco NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- box, you have something that a lot of us drive in preference to just about anything else.

This is technically car number 7 but this is what I'll be driving about in just over a year, so should be comfier and faster than everything my mates will be driving and it's safer than an R3 216, so when you think about it, it's only the logical choice. At least that's how I got my dad to agree

Welcome Finlay, and looks a tidy example!

Was this a members car at one time? There looks to be additional walnut trim. Sandstone and Walnut, what a posh combination, euro boxes take note, black aint posh.
