Impure thoughts!! An early wedgewood V6 connie with neptune leather.

As Mr Brookman has just pointed out on another thread:

Advantage of having a similar engine car is that I can swap things over until I find the faulty part.

Plus Wedgwood blue and primrose yellow would go beautifully well together.

'According to "howmanyleft.com" this is the last one of its type still licenced for road use'

 

​According to me that's probably bollocks.

However the price has slightly increased since the photo's were taken.

Is that a launch car? They we're all Wedgewood with blue leather. Very clean, even the door shuts are immaculate.

Just realised the Escort cab I posted is a bloody CVT.

Having experienced a CVT Fiesta of the same vintage, I don't understand why I'm not more put off it...

Nope, launch cars were on an S plate and that's a V. Still nice though.

Actually most launch cars were T reg though a few early cars were S. Just been looking at them on the 75 ZT forum. The above isn't one because it's a 2.0 and they were all 2.5s.

 

Still as you say,very nice. The 2 litre is supposed to be exceptionally smooth, developed specifically for the 75.

No its not a launch car, but its not far off being one.  Its lacking a few of the 'launch extra's' but it looks lovely, none the less.

 

There is one launch car on an 'S' plate and that resides in Gaydon.  The Launch cars out there now are nearly all 99' T registered May - July 1999 however a few more were knocked out later on a 1999 'V'

Well, it is not as good as a mk3 cav v6, however, them who lift cars with forklifts (U Pull it) Have this beauty, been in less than a month,

£495.....Rover Sterling..it appears to also have a giffertastic mileage...

Oooof. A proper smooth kettle in a 1999 reg in white gold.

 

They are sooooooooooooooooo nice. Literally the best example of a brilliant idea executed poorly ever.

 

I paid £700 for mine and it worked*.

I stand corrected on the S-plate thing.

 

I can confirm the 2-litre is indeed very smooth, and makes a nice noise without you having to go dangerously fast to hear it.

 

I still feel bad about scrapping mine (a scruffy 99V with multiple leaks that eventually died of borked electronics) and would have another as long as I never had to change another headlamp bulb (or possibly indicator, I can't remember which now and I don't want to think about it).

Indicator is easy, the flasher unit falls out if you walk past the car wearing some heavy boots. The headlamp bulbs not so...
