12 months ago a boozer I frequent for a few scoops in there was an elderly chap dressed very smartly about 75 years old with a younger lady and he had a 2005 MG ZTT 190 in Xpower disappointing grey with Gridspoke alloys and after seeing who owned it he told me it had done 39000 miles from new. No belts done (he hadnt a clue what i was talking about!) but I told him if he needs any help to come on here or call me.:}
I get a call today from him he no longer drives as he has broken his arm and I went thro the details and no belt done mot next month etc and wants £4000! :eek:
I told him if its all sorted its £1500 ish but I asked him to call some other people so he doesnt think he is having the wool pulled over his eyes. Ive not seen a ZTT 190 with Gridspokes unless its a late job off the line. Think he has had it from new or an ex demo.
I need to stop getting involved lol!:o

In his shoes I would personally give it to the "young lady" to drive.

Lady 75 drivers represent (in my eyes) the pinnacle of class in a female.

Just remember his age is 75, that means there is quite a range of "younger ladies".

A low miles 190 is worth way more than 1500 IMO ;)

Nice to see male chauvinism is alive and well. And from a moderator too tut-tut

Perhaps not a good idea to show you my list of Les Dawson videos on YouTube then.....

You should see a couple of the 75 driving ladies around here, not quite classy. :D
