Should I? Chatting with Reebs didn't help!

So as many members know I've owned Rovers all my life and my last 75 was outstanding even if I say so myself, full spec with ALL the accessories and all the cost cutting measures introduced by Rover brought back.

I'm playing with a Jaguar XJ6 3.0 all bells and whistles at the moment and again brought up to spec. Plus I still have the Bentley Brooklands. I've found an amazing independent Jaguar dealer near Weston-super-Mare, my second home. The car is off there next week to have its final session of replacing major parts.

Being retired with time on my hands toying with another 75 is causing me to itch

It would have to be a 2.5 V6 connoisseur se of impeccable quality, they seem thin on the ground these days.

Gosh may have to pay subs again

Flippin Nora Phil, where've you been

Nice to see you back, as it were

Teflon · 25th July 2020, 20:25

Oh go on - you know you want to

. And I'd love to see what you end up with as well

Good to see you posting again

Cliff

Parker · 25th July 2020, 20:29

Yeah still alive guys.

My fear is, is there enough walnut & chrome still around

Oh gosh, walnut handbrake, embossed headrests, walnut steering wheel, heko wind deflectors. Could I go through it all again

Oh and must be pre face-lift. Just my personal preference of course

Good to see you back posting again Phil. Still not used to seeing you appear as a blue, I have to take a double take as I still tend to associate you as a green.

I saw - and admired - your 75 at the Duxford national shortly after I joined this fine club.
