Going to be a long two weeks! At least there is no driving involved (other than lugging the family and kitchen sink to Gatport Airwick in the troop carrier). Really looking forward to this, guys/gals on here have made sure I appreciate what a good car I am taking on

No doubt I will be looking into updating the TV in her, but otherwise, as Lewis has told me, leave well alone.
As it so happens I live in Midsomer country (for those that don't know, it is actually in the deepest darkest home counties.....), so there might be some photographic recreation ahead!

Well done Mick, I'll look out for you around town and surrounding area.

Will be a very popular attraction at our next local meet at Eversley, we'll all be queueing up with our cameras!

I think several areas were used for Midsomer to avoid repetition. Some I know of are Yattendon/Bradfield, Hambledon valley (Bucks) and the Chalfonts. Would be great to have a pub meet in one of the villages!

A few parts of episodes were filmed at Chinnor Railway... I tried to arrange a meet here but there was not enough interest

I will be trying again though and have another couple of Mid somer locations in mind for other meets as well... Keep an aye on the South Central region for update

Would be great to see both you and the car at our MK meet if you can make it... I saw the car at Pride Of Longbridge and its a stunner

My first sight of a 75 was the T reg Midsomer car, filming in Wallingford Market Place. The Causton Playhouse is Wallingford Corn Exchange so a regular haunt. Twyford (First Great Western) has been used as the station, along with at least one on Chiltern Railways? Some of the pics at the top of this thread were in and around Henley on Thames. Loads of locations must have been used so I will be Googling them up!
First trip out will be to Wallingford then!
Off on hols tomorrow so will report on return, will be out and about soon.....

Erm

Why are you selling it so soon after buying? What's wrong with it?

I would suggest starting a new advert that explains why you are selling so quickly and how much you are looking for mate...

You need to explain it really as it looks quite strange that you are moving it on SO quickly!!!???
