How common is Black as a colour on 75's?

Yes Raven Black is ‘Black Paint C.O.B’ which is Rover speak for Clear (Coat) Over Base (Coat)

Thanks for that, its funny that they recorded it as such instead of just putting Raven Black.

Stunning collection, well done for keeping them going. Very classy too. Timeless elegance.

Cheers.

Yeah I know how shocked in was back in April 17 when I last visited the area. Horley felt more like Croydon and so much traffic !!!!

It was a stop over to meet up with friends on my way to Le Shuttle as I was collecting the Chimaera 430 from storage in near York so took in the first TVR meet of the year at Burleigh House then down to Horley/Crawley to catch up friends before driving down through Europe.

Smallfield used to be so small and quiet had my second operation in the hospital there when I was 14. Of course long gone now.

Back to the car ................ well the weather it seems is going to complicate things as it's down south towards the Turkish/Greek border and they had had some pretty bad weather, severe storms especially on the Black Sea coast Turkey it seems has been hit badly. Luckily the town where the car is is further inland but snow is forecast and quite heavy snowfalls in places some ares are already under a snow covering but now here at home as yet but it's forecast this weekend and though the route down there is mostly main roads the possibilty of running into heavy snow cannot be ignored and then there is the ice they are currently forecasting -7c for Monday night so need to check what tyres she has fitted as might need to get all weather or winter ones plus pick up snow chains as some regions require them by law. If the tyres fitted have more the 4mm of tread you can get away with it so that really means 5mm for more on normal tyres because being stopped and being found with less the 4mm is not good. Only a few years ago you had to change to winter tyres in November,

On my auto box there is a switch for snow mode, I don't how it works with a manual one. Good luck.

Both my previous 75's were autos so I know how they work. This one being manual well in the photos you can see it's got 4 buttons, outer 2 are for the heated seats and it's possible that one may be traction control but it's hard to make out the symbol on the one that is not obscured by the gear knob. Have checked prices for tyres and it's not so bad.
