by After eight very happy years I've decided to part with my Ski Blue 2004 Smokestone and WALNUT interior (Dec 54 reg) Connoisseur diesel (131 bhp) '75. I've owned it since June '06 with then just 3,700 miles on the clock, today it's covered just under 80k and I've driven every one of those miles as I retired with the car from my last employer. Oil changed every 6-7,000 miles, ATF changed twice, last 7,000 miles ago, new battery fitted April. Air con recharged, of course full service history, all Mot's, a library of bills and with a 'host' of extras viz;
Bonnet mechanism mod/ New front window glasses (a 2 from Rimmers) / Rear power blind / Meteor 17"s / Harman Kardon ipod kit / In Line Top Hose Thermostat / Starter Button / Klaxon horn/ Dab Radio / EGR Bypass / Walnut Gear change and Handbrake with Grey leather gaiters / Door Finishers / Mesh Alloy Undergrill / Front Parking Sensors / Remote Control Lights & Memory Seat functions / Floor Headlight Dip Switch / Coil Spring Tyre Protectors / Elevated Mk 1 Grille Badge / Spyhole Plenum Mod / Full Retrofit limited edition Dash / Cruise Control / 'Walnut' (a la Bulgaria) Interior Door Handle inserts, Visa Covers, full door panel copings all round, all interior light copings. I also had the steering wheel recovered in exact matching Smokestone leather and then re-polished in Walnut and sealed by a classic restoration expert. This last small part cost over £200 alone. New Interior mats (OE). Also a unique addition, remote control drivers seat to 2 settings and exterior lights working from the same mini remote control (2 of). (designed and fitted by Paul and Duncan) from the community. There are two working keys plus two that just need programming, plus 2 blanks of the flip type sold on the other place. Tyres are good (I fitted 2 new ones 1,400 miles ago!). MOT until December. No tax (I now drive on a disabled ticket).
I've spent well over £8k through the years.
Virtually as clean under the bonnet as the day it was born, it's been my pride and joy, as a few of you know on here. Sadly my degenerative physical condition has now made driving it very difficult as you will see it's not gone far past few years. Finally the GP has advised me that as I'm 70 next year I ought to think about other ways to get about. I may have to Ebay it, but thought I'd offer her first to enthusiasts if possible. I know what they fetch today, but hope this one is just a 'little' bit special? Please make me an offer - subject to viewing of course.
I'll get some photo's up in the next few days, when I can...
