Think I've bought a launch car :)

Paulifa1 · 26th February 2015, 00:01

I'm beginning to think there is something wrong with me!

I took a deposit on my Club SE this Afternoon at 4pm, it's leaving on Saturday. So I've only just gone and bought what I think is a launch car already...

Spoke with the seller at some length and it sounds pretty nice, just couldn't resist it.

Think I'm developing a habit... This will be my 6th 75

Can't wait to go and pick it up

Looks like a bargain for the price

As said on another thread. This car use to live local to me and it's had a pampered few years with its owner here.

NEVER seen it dirty and I know it's been well looked after. The guy now owns a 05 ZT 190 SE in Red.

You should of struck lucky there.

Looks a right beauty..

I may not have owned as many as you but I was thinking there may be something wrong with me too. Obsession doesn't do it justice for me.... I'm hoping to have my third 75 soon (first one is in the great scrappy in the sky).

Trouble is I can see myself seeking a launch car myself one day

Whether I'd find one in as good a condition as this is another question!

Congrats & enjoy!

Looks like you got yourself a real bargain there

Wouldn't a T prefix plate be too late to go on a T2 van

I didn't think you could put a plate on that is newer than the vehicle.

Ok, you took that bit out, so my post makes no sense at all now lol

Beautiful car. I've seen photos of it online on various occasions, and it looks terrific. If it's as good as it looks, it's the ideal basis for your plans!

Scrap that, just spoke to the seller

Some people are just strange...

Very weird. Looking at the listing, he lowered the reserve too

There maybe a reason as to why he is not answering, so give it a little time

From memory, I'm on my 26th Rover now, and I'm only 25 years old!

You don't have a habit just yet.
