    Default Gulp!

    Nice looking 190 for < £3k - HERE

    So much car for the money - makes me pleased I got £4.5k trade-in for mine a few months ago.

    Like the colour too....

    yeah, it looks nice too.

    Whole market is depressed though. Just about to sell my b'em 530 for silly money. But then again I picked up my 260 for good money - 4.5K! And here she is revealed for the first time........

    colour doesnt really come out on the camera, despite trying to catch it in part sunlight where the olive green shows through. I need to di some more arty shots like others have, somewhere a bit more illustrious than a pub car park off the North Circular in west Acton! Still, the cherry picker came in handy for a top-down shot

    Nice, as you say though its very difficult to capture the subtle green on camera .

    here's one of mine with proper wheels on- my straights have been relegated for winter use.

    I'm looking at possibly getting them remanufactured (as of today) anyone know how many facelifted R75's there were, the more applicable cars the better!!

    Of course if the ones from Chins fit then ............
