My latest 75

Sdeh · 16th March 2020, 21:51

The car I've just bought is this 75 at Rotherham MAG Car Auction it's a 2001 75 but I would estimate it being either a 1999 or a 2000 after having a look around as it's got some stuff that I have never seen on a 75 it's needs a new MOT and welding at the rear sills

Doesn't appear to be a Cowley so unlikely to be a 99 or 2000. What bits are unusual to you?

Possibly a volumetric alarm?

It had the sensor you on about but below the brake light and a screen with numbers on it that looked like it was for the reverse sensors but I've never seen one like it as it had the volumetric alarm sensor all in one

Anything like that? if so just an aftermarket kit.

It will be a 2001 model Thomas, I had an early longbridge car and it had 99% of the ppd bits fitted.

My 2000 model used to have the black painted sills and bumper bottoms,so I would also say it probably had an owner that liked to add the ppd bits.

You have a pre project drive car Thomas, after 2001 MGR changed a lot of the refinery in a cost cutting exercise. Take a look in Reebs’ signature for ppd details link.
How is your college course coming along btw?
