The rebuilt motors always seem to be noisier than the OEM original and probably won't last as long due to inferior materials??

We have not had a failed motor yet on a 75ZT ........always the solenoid.

Hi Jules
I think the networking for this information is one of the clubs strong points, and can only praise the it for the help viewing this type of info. I must be one of the longest owning members, (15 years owning a 75) but I can still pick up points from the site. Another positive point was the pre-emptive replacement of the brushes on the 3 speed fan, which was another huge plus.
I will miss the 75 and the club.

It really is brilliant that Richard is looking after the 75 up until the very last minute. He is going way above and beyond what a seller needs to do, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

Hopefully you won't leave this club and forum, Richard. You have way too much knowledge and experience that would be sorely missed.

Just a post to say Martin1972 is now the proud new owner of my 75 (collected car today at Ipswich for transport to Edinburgh area), and I am very happy it went to such a nice guy. Thanks finally to all the kind comments during the posting/sale of my car. I have no doubt this car will be the best car I will own and wish all club members happy 75 motoring.
Martin has been kind enough to send me a photo (attached) of the 75 on route to Scotland, during his stop at Doncaster.

Best Regards

Richard

You always click on it and chip in though...

Well, today really was special. I finally got to meet Richard and his lovely family, and take ownership of his 75.

All of the photos didn't do it justice. It's a beauty.

The 250+ mile drive to Durham was a treat, and I can't wait for the second leg up to Fife.

Thanks for your time and patience Richard, and for the wonderful car. She's a credit to you.

OK... At the risk of annoying some members by prolonging this "boring" thread, I will post one more picture of Rich400's 75 sitting on its new drive in Fife. I'm now officially one of the club.
