Was it anyone on here?

Was it anyone on here (that is NZ members) who flashed their headlights from a stunning copperleaf red 75 on Port Road, Lower Hutt this Saturday morning?

I was driving the other stunning copperleaf red 75, waving back.

Obviously we share a similar appreciation and passion for fine machinery and display very good taste.

I wish it was me.

Sounds as if you have some nice examples over there too of this great car.
On behalf of all the Members over here may I wish all our Members and Friends
A Happy Christmas in New Zealand.

Thanks JDC – Yes we do have a few 75's over here, but they are fairly few and far between.

Lower Hutt has a population of about 95,000 and to my knowledge only five 75’s, including mine – Oh, and one primrose yellow ZT driven by a rather attractive young blond.

I hope you, your family and everyone on the forum have a very happy Christmas and a great New Year.

Compliments to all from a sunny and warm South Pacific. :xmas-smiley-022:

Merry Christmas from down south! I nearly bought a model in the same colour a few months back - but was a bit slow. Perhaps it was the same one, a 2.5 SE, which was for sale in Auckland.

Happy times!

Hi Roger - No sorry - mine came from Christchurch. The importer even drove it up to the ferry for me, which was nice. Had her since May - My other darling brought it for me on my birthday

Did you get that thermostat/overheating issue sorted?

Have a good one Roger:xmas-smiley-031:

Hi, Sorry for the delay in replying. Yes, I got the matter resolved. I suspect it was in fact low water level. There must be a built in alarm system, as once I topped it up PROPERLY the problem has gone away.
Did you get your car from Terrel Wallace Motors? They had one like yours in stock last May.

No not from a dealer... I purchased mine via trademe... The one I saw recently could have been a mirror image though - that's what prompted this thread. I have seen it a couple of times now. Next time I see it I will just have to do a U turn and follow them
