Was just thinking the same. Glad everyone else's cars are perfect

It's really strange why enthusiasts would do that. Hence I never take any of my cars to shows, clip board Charlie's with over inflated opinions.

Give the seller a rest gents

My 75 is apart from the WinCe radio which is being changed back to the HighLine unit next week. When I changed it I left all the boxes in the boot so I’ve only to fit the head unit back in and it’s back to original spec apart from the CD player which was missing when I bought the car. So not too bad for a car manufactured in February 2001

I have been on the hunt now for a nice Connie SE Dorchester aubergine or Royal blue/sandstone 2.5L with a sunroof (I understand the jap specs have one, although I can’t tell from the pictures) for quite some time now to keep and polish to within an inch of its life but they come up in either the wrong colour or no sunroof. As a previous owner I greatly regret selling mine and this time I am looking to keep one for life.

Any help much appreciated.
Yes it will have a sunroof, the lacquer peel will probably be a repaint but Dorchester red isn't expensive.

So is mine except that I swapped the Harmony radio for a Symphony . But I think that was a factory option anyway ……….
Interestingly , as we are talking about Japanese spec , when I first swapped out the Harmony I replaced it with a Japanese spec Symphony which I picked up very cheap . The frequency range was different but it picked up all I wanted ! Long since replaced with a British Symphony but the Jap one is still in a cupboard in the garage , so if the car for sale has the wrong radio for Jap spec then I can help

I understand that the Jap remote locking works on a different frequency from uk versions.
It can be a pain to get replacement keys.
You should make sure you have a full set of keys with the car.

I believe it's 315mhz. I didn't have any trouble finding new remotes for my Jap MGF at a reasonable price.

It is, however it's very easy to replace the remote receiver with a 433Mhz one, meaning the correct frequency remotes for the country the car is being used in can be employed

If you need a CD player Les (I assume the multidisk part that sits in the glove box) I have one you can have from my scrapper, now sadly departed! (and am only 15mins away, once we're allowed out)

That would be brilliant Gary thank you. Let me know how much you want for it. If you’re passing Elgin for shopping I’m still working although on holiday next week. Thanks again
