Smile Possible car swap?

Hi all, I got rid of my 190 back in Jan, and replaced it with a facelift 75 cdti auto, and as nice as it is, I'm missing my zt! So if anyone out there would consider a swap for a zt 190 or possibly a 1.8t let me know!
My 75 is a 2004 facelift diesel auto, in starlight silver, with 130k. It's a Connie se, with black leather heated memory seats, light oak dash and steering wheel. It's had the rear windows tinted to give a bit more privacy in the back.
Since I've had the car, it's had a new boot lid and rear bumper including parking sensors, egr cleaned and disabled, pcv filter changed, intercooler orings replaced, gold fan resistor fitted, aircon recharged, full t4 check over from Phil which came back clear, he also fitted an ipk dash, did the 160 remap, and activated the cruise control that I put on.
The car was mot'd 3 weeks ago, and is mechanically sound. There are no issues, the car has plenty of power, gearbox is smooth, and there's no smoke from exhaust.
The only downsides to the car are cosmetic, there are a few very minor scuffs around the doors and bumpers, and the rear bumper has a couple of deeper scratches that happened in transit when I replaced it, but it's not too bad.
There is a small crack in the windscreen, but it's passed the last two mots with it only as an advisory, so doesn't affect anything.
Other than that, it's a good solid car, that needs nothing doing.
I know I'll prob regret changing as its so good on fuel, and very comfy to drive, but I do miss the way the zt drives, and I think I just prefer petrol engines!
I'm in Banbury but will travel for the right car.

Just to reawaken this thread, it's still available if anyone is interested, however there have been a few updates since the last post!
The windscreen has been replaced, along with the front pads and discs, just put 4 new Goodyear tyres on,i to had a full valet with clay, machine polish and wax, and it has also had a custom remap. The 160 map was ok, but I just wanted more! The map on there now is a mafless map, and is very quick, much more so than the 160 map. Still returns an average of 39mpg though, mostly short journies.
If you've got a decent 190 and fancy a swap, let me know.

And if you sold it for cash how much would it be.

Comparing it to others I've seen sold, I think id prob be looking at around 16-1700.
I've spent a fair bit on it recently, the tyres last week were 400 alone.

Ok thanks for the reply.

A little bit out of my price bracket at the moment but would suit me fine.

Ok mate, I'm open to offers, let me know where you're at and I'll see if I can work anything out.
Cheers

I have been thinking about it all day.

And still cannot come up with a decision.

Would be easier if i had the full funds that you want for the car.

I appreciate the work you have done and the new tyres.

I'm not rushing to get rid of the car, I just really fancy another 190. As I said, I am open to offers, so if you are interested, send me a pm letting me know what you're thinking of and we'll see if we can come up with something. I know I prob won't get back what I've put into the car, but then do we ever?
