My 75
I only joined the forum last week and did say that i would get some pictures of my 75 uploaded as soon as i got chance to clean it. I only got the car two weeks ago, having moved up from a 45, and was looking for a Connoisseur but when i saw this i knew it was the car for me. It is a 2.0 Club SE with the harmon kardon speaker upgrade, i fitted the chrome mirrors earlier today and next on my list is some leather seats.

A real stunner. 46k that's not even run in yet.
I'd be interested to know if yours has the cabling in place for the electric seats. my Y reg Club SE didn't and I had to make up my own loom.

Thank for all the kind comments everyone. There are a few jobs to do but it does seem to be in very good order. I dont know about the seat wiring, i need to have a look into that - if it isnt there i may just keep an eye out for some manual leather seats although i suppose they will be quite rare.

Once you have all the old seats out installing your own loom isn't difficult. I did mine start to finish, including making the loom and installing the cable for the boot-mounted Cd Changer in about 6 hours. Looking at your pics again, I've just realised yours is very late registered Cowley-built car so you won't have the early Project Drive deletions I found on mine so the seat wiring may be in place.

A lovely looking car. I know its an early model and I'm probably wrong but the picture looks like you have a later style plastic dash as opposed to a wooden veneer one
