Hi Graham,
I'm in Christchurch and my wife and I both have 75's. Her's a 2000 2.0V6 and mine's a 2005 2.5 Conn. We love them both. There are a few down here, mainly 1999 - 2001 2.0 imports. I've looked at many of them and by and large they're in good nick. Ours have done 103,000kms and 18,000kms respectively. Great to see that there are a few other Kiwi fans! Regards, Roger. |

Thanks for the welcome guys. By the way, I see that there's a brand new 75 V8 in black pearl still available in Auckland. Still priced at list, $NZ69,995 (26,000 pounds at todays exchange). No doubt there would be a fair bit of negotiation available on that one! Anyone feeling rich?

Lived there for about 4 years, started in Condell Avenue and ended up in Upper Riccarton (English street) but was mainly at the Uni and Chch Hospital. Have a son born there too - 1 day old and wearing red socks for the America's cup Although I drove an old Datsun I walked quite a lot in Chch it is a lovely city - would go back to stay in a flash I even have a Kiwi cat - Walley was found on the street going blind a few weeks old - now here he is in Southampton beating up on the other cats ... "once were warriors" indeed!!

What a small world eh!
We have lived here for 8 years having moved from Auckland. First lived in Oxford Terrace in a 110 year old Victorian villa, then a year ago bought an original 'homestead' on Horseshoe Lake, which is our new project. We've still got a houseful of tradesmen even a year on. Still, it's going to be worth it and it's a fitting place for our Rover's to live! Cheers! |

Hello. Just to let you know that there is another 75 in Christchurch now. Ours is a 1999 Connoisseur (NZ new) purchased in Dunedin.
Can anyone advise a recommended oil available here that meets the handbook requirement please? Thanks |
