Cowley 75 passed MOT with no advisories

trebor · 27th March 2024, 20:53

My V6 passed the MOT today with flying colours and no advisories, the MOT tester said it was perfect and they never even took it on the road for a road test as they saw how good it was when it was on the ramp.

Not bad for a now 24 years old Cowley built car, big thanks to member John Aston who gave me 1st refusal to buy it some 12 months ago, still leaving him with his immaculate 75 CDT Connoisseur in Copperleaf

I took it to Donnington classic sports car racing meet last weekend and the picture is taken there

Well done Rob. Absolute gem of a car that is down to Johns ability to keep it in good condition. Up to you now Rob to do the same. Absolutely mint. Do you know if John is going to Gaydon with his other pristine example? He ought to. It would certainly be a contender for best car.

Great news to read - from a fellow Cowley-buit V6 owner😊.

All the best, Nicholas/Zircon
