My LPG powered ZT-T 190 is up for sale! *SOLD* - Page 2

guru · 19th January 2015, 23:34

Wow, I have to say I've been amazed by the interest in my car, I've just spent the last hour replying to PM's from interested people

Just to update my original ad it now has MOT until February 2016 as it passed with only a couple of bulbs needing changing. It had just 1 advisory which was for a small cut on the sidewall of one of the rear tyres however the tester must have had better glasses then me as I can't see it!

I will also point out that the LPG system would benefit from a service as it is lumpy when it changes to gas for the first 4 - 5 seconds before settling down, it then runs perfectly. It probably needs a new set of spark plugs as I'm aware that LPG is hard on the plugs and it's still running that same ones that Tam put in before I got the car. Other then that it runs very well and I can't really think of any other issues to report.

Regarding the LPG the system is certified and it's registered as bi-fuel on the V5 which means a whopping £10 per year off the road tax! The tank is in the spare wheel well which means no spare but also no loss of boot space. I would also say to anyone considering an LPG car whether it's mine or another it's important to have an LPG specialist nearby for repairs or maintenance and local LPG stations so you can actually fuel the thing! Sadly round here our local LPG place is Kelcrow who are such a bunch of crooks that I actually wrote a post warning people off them and the nearest fuel is a fair distance away however Norfolk is particularly bad for that and I must say that I've found other parts of the country are way better.

On the timing front given the interest I'm happy to let it go now rather then waiting until April, it just means the TF will get pressed into service as my daily driver.

I've tried to get back to everyone that's inquired however if I've missed anyone please drop me a PM and I'll be sure to reply.

As requested here are some more pics including the interior that I took on our recent trip to Somerset however these are really just for the benefit of 1 member as the car is now provisionally sold! Could the mods please update the title of the thread to reflect this please?

Apologies for the 'keep calm' air freshener, the car wash people installed it when they did the inside however I have since 'uninstalled' it!

Thought this would have gone by now good luck a car with an owners club story to tell must be worth a punt

It is sold provisionally, to be honest it's me holding up the sale as my Grandmother sadly passed away recently so we have quite a lot to organise.

Well sadly the sale to the member fell through through no fault of his. We had arranged to go and stay in my Grandmothers house and complete the sale there as it was a lot closer to Cornwall where the buyer lives however the day before we were due to travel I received a call from my Father to say that the solicitors have changed the locks and even he can't get in now.

The net result is that the member has had to pull out as understandably he can't wait any longer and I now have no idea when we'll be down that way therefore the car is available again.

As the car is sitting around doing nothing except for costing me in tax and insurance I'm dropping the asking price to £1200 for a quick sale.

Few more pics taken today now that the private plate if off. It's a little odd seeing it with the original number now, and even more odd seeing M6JKK on Mrs Guru's BMW 120d!

I'd have had this if I could have gotten a better insurance quote for it. Despite having a clean licence and 15 years NCB, any option I looked at was over £200 more than my current premium. Combined with the higher VRT, that just takes it out of reach for me right now. Somebody is going to get a fantastic bargain - I just wish it was me!!

Damn typical, I would snap this up but I'm not back in the country until July! Real shame that.

Wonder if this car is going to Pride of Longbridge on Saturday.
