The 75 in the Ebay add. is a Cowley built example.

Spice was a Monogram colour, not introduced until 2001/2002 at Longbridge.

If it is a Club model then its had a lot of options chosen bringing it more or less up to the same price as a Connoisseur.

If its a Connoisseur then why the foglamps are not fitted is a mystery.

I would be very surprised if that is the correct miles. I would say there is a zero missing. Who would put an LPG on the car if doing so little miles. I might be wrong though.

I love the colour.

EDIT

Read it agian... thats what I get reading from a phone. Very low miles then ....

Thanks Dave.
It's difficult to tell from the pictures - and I know Dorchester Red is almost brown - but to me this car looks more towards purple than red. And that goes with calling it "plum", too. Comparing it with the pics in the "Many Colours" thread, I'd have come down on the side of Aubergine, but for the word "metallic" in the description. I suppose it must be Dorchester Red.
Advertisers should be made to put the paint code in the description of the car.

What a colour, very nice, makes my silver look very bland!

Sorry but that has to be wrong as TGB has fog lights and she was register Jan 1st 2000 and of course is a 2.5L Auto.

Thanks for that.:xmas-smiley-031: It's the first picture I've seen in which it doesn't look like a dark indian red or dark burnt sienna. I can see in that picture the purple tint which might lead someone to describe it as "plum".
Still not sure about the car in the ad though!
