My friend has just acquired it and it has had a life of luxury it seems. Absolutely lovely car. Very highly maintained and the paintwork is ‘as new’ which is impressive for an 18 year old car.
Even Lates has been under the bonnet at some point so i wondered if it was a members car in the past.
Had a lot of work done in Cambridge area before it took a 4 year holiday in the Yorkshire pastures.
Now it comes back to Cambridgeshire (Chatteris) for continued pampering and will be a weekend gentleman’s carriage!

Looks nice, what is the container on the bulkhead where the traction actuator normally sits?

It’s an oil catch tank.
I had one on my auto V6 to regulate the amount of oil in the manifold.

This one being a manual 190 goes like stink, So it must be be doing a good job.
It also has had new VIS motors fitted so perhaps this was added as a precaution.

Ahh,,, you mean the white object that looked like a brake fluid cylinder!! Didn’t spot that yesterday,, will enquire on collection. Maybe its a re positioned clutch fluid master feeder.

Yes looks like it could be. Saves scrabbling around under the dash.

I must keep a look out for this one! I'mm in Chatteris as well, been with R75 since 2007, doing 99.9% of my own work on it.
