You lucky man, I never knew you owned that beauty.

Where down south?

I can’t tell you that, Dallas otherwise you may steal it....

It’s at a friends of mine near Oxford who is sorting out a few issues on it for me. I hope to have it back in the summer. I’ve not driven her for 6 years...

This year is the year, though.

As much as i love the 75s, nothing comes close to my coupe. She is my No.1.

My first coupe was Tahiti and so is my cooper S

Tahiti even made it onto a few 75's.

I test drove one a few years ago - it was resprayed custom purple/shot with dark blue, lowered suspension and low profiles, with K&N filter, big bore exhaust, recaros, and a tiny steering wheel. The owner directed me over a motorway service bridge, - really rough. Fast and furious! But not my cup of tea. A couple of years later I went to see a lovely, original BRG one at a 2nd
hand dealer's near Preston. It was a frosty evening, so they started it to warm it up for when I got there. It was lovely, apart from the horizontal crack across the bottom of the windscreen where the demister heat had hit the sub-zero glass! I drove home, disappointed, in my Renault 19 16v cabrio. Now that IS a car I regret selling!

Didn't they offer to replace the screen for you?Surely they would need to do that to move it on.Shame to have missed out on an otherwise nice car.

Mick, I miss mine so much. I can’t wait to drive her again.

What work is needed Rav? I have a feeling it needs some electrical tidying.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Ravinder · 8th February 2018, 15:32

Yeah, it’s mostoy electrical. Car cuts out randomly and when in reverse. My springs are broken, too. Also, has a massive battery drain and I don’t have sills left...

Also, needs a new loom.
Jimm is doing some good work on it.

Fair bit of work there,even if you are on it full time.Hope you get it back for the summer.
