Only 66k kilometres..............but 29k Euros :eek:

Don't know if it's my eyesight, or a trick of the light - but the rear bumper may have taken a bang. If it has, surely you'd get it sorted before trying to flog it for that price :shrug:

Looks to be sizeable dent unless a trick of the light.

We lived in France for 6 years,nothing surprises me with how they present there cars and asking prices.I gave my French neighbor 2 websites in the UK where they sell lhd cars,he was chuffed to bits how much he saved and had a weeks holiday in the UK and still paid less than the equivalent car would have cost in France.

I think it's the light shining in from the doorway , but it does look like a dent in the picture.

Poor Photoshop? (Compare it to this - https://i.wheelsage.org/pictures/mg/...u_mg_zt_41.jpg)

Here's one with only 29,000 miles - https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1115668

........at the bus stop, not even if it were free would I want that :duh:

Brian :cool:

Which one wouldn't you want?

LHD cars are always expensive, if for no other reason because of their rarity. The top prices are being asked for Rover 75 V8's. Since a little under 40 were ever made, that's no wonder. Nowhere near that number will still exist, I imagine. Currently there are 4 for sale in Europe, I see over on the Two-Sixties Complete List, in Holland (2), France and Norway, all between the equivalent of £20k and £23k. Last week one sold in Belgium for around £20k, and a Tourer in Switzerland, one of the three, for about the same. Fact of life; that appears to be the market price for LHD cars.

Cars for sale in general fetched higher prices on the continent, not just zt/75s.

I'd prefer public transport to the V8 ;)

Brian :D

dont worry Brian, there's always THIS ;) correct colour too!

I was surprised when I found out how much a friend paid for an 8 year old Renault in Sweden last year. Nothing special just a car for his wife to run to the shops and take the kids to school and it was double what he would have paid for the same car here even from a dealer.

When I told him how much you could actually get a runner for he was shocked as he reckoned any car that was less than £1500 was considered disposable in Sweden like we would if we bought a £200 car here.

What if the public transport has a V8? :shrug:

People need to understand the UK used car market is probably the cheapest in the world.

All the vaginas that get their Diesel RangeRover/BMW/Audi on HP/lease with their matchbox new build house and their pea-brained, narrowminded life on rails are actually doing everyone else a favour when it comes to used cars.

Stuff that is £500 in the UK could quite easily be £3-4000EUR in Europe.

Also their cars tend to be in better condition, heavily stone chipped cars are rare in Germany for example, as the roads do not have anywhere near as much loose garbage as the poorly constructed UK roads with loose stones and gravel everywhere.

I wonder why this is? Could it be the steering wheel location or the stretch of water?

I know a customer who went to the US last year for a couple of months was expecting to buy a rubbish car to do some touring about in and leave it at the airport on his return was amazed what even a rust bucket was going to cost him so in the end he hired a car for under $20 a day.

We live and travel in a relatively small place. Cars are commodities for the most part. We still have the perception that over 100k miles they are beyond use. Whereas a lot of places abroad,they're necessities, maintained to be reliable rather than just look good. Like any good tool, they maintain value and are sought after.

Spot on - so much for rip off uk :D

My ZTT is about to bite the dust - the poor thing had a bad start to life, and what started off as anthracite is now turning into the colour of Irn Bru, with just as many bubbles.

I paid pennies for it, and had a good four years out of it, but I should have junked it a couple of years ago when we left Scotland and moved to France - getting it legal over here cost more than I originally paid for the car (including 250 for a C. of C :mad:) the problem was I liked the damn thing.

So I'm now looking for a replacement - and the air turns blue every time I start searching. Car prices over here are :eek:

Indeed, when I was looking at VW CC's, same spec car in the UK was around £15k GPB, in DE, was 25k Euro

It's about time you signed up for that lovely new VW for your drug runs Ross, don't you agree ;)

Brian :D

Brian I can't read your posts on account of that amoeba emoji coloured thingy - i would not object to a pic of a 1977 Morris Marina or an '81 Ital!:shrug:

I prefer amoebas :}

French or British? Brian

Either really ;)

It is fairly headache-inducing Brian. ;)

It barely exists in rural France. My nearest bus route is about 8 miles away, and the nearest train station is about 40 miles.

I would move to Holland then ;) I've just experienced the wonders of the public transport system in Amsterdam.........fantastic, and if that isn't enough there are zillions of little ant sized cars called, and I kid you not, Biro !!

Fabulous :drool4:

Brian :D

Not exactly public transport, Brian, more personal transport (/torture).
At Euro 14,707 for the one with room for a shopping bag or 25,000 for one with shock-absorbers (wow!) and a seat you actually sit in, I can't see it being the answer. The two Rover 75 V8's currently for sale in Holland both cost less than the top model Biro, go further than 40 km, and a tad faster than 45kph.

That's why there are not "zillions", but 300 of them in Amsterdam.

Made in Italy (just north of Venice) by a company called Estrima Srl. Their head office is at (wait for it) - Via Roveredo.

You live and learn ! Thanks.
Makes sense since it looks like a Fiat Multipla, squeezed hard then sat upon :}

Could make a good eco-friendly Pope-mobile. The Vatican City is smaller than tiny, so the 40km range is no problem, and he hasn't got a wife to cart around. Would probably fit in his hand-baggage when he flies off somewhere too. Perfect, I imagine. Huge untapped market there...

His robes might be a bit of a squeeze. :}

They are cuter, and more reliable than a V8 though ;)

In terms of public transport, if the UK had a system like the one in Amsterdam, I would use it, however we don't so I don't, but in any event I would rather walk everywhere than drive a ZT 260, or indeed a 75 V8.....the Biro is a cute little thing, everything the 260 is certainly not :getmecoat:

Brian :D

That'll be 300 more "cars" than Rover then ;)

You can take it from me, they appeared to be everywhere, so how do we arrive at a figure of 300 then?

Brian :D

I would move there tomorrow if I could, but it wouldn't be for the public transport system :hippy:

They have something similar to the ant cars over here - voiture sans permis. limited to 30mph, and an utter pita when encountered on the roads. They usually have dinks on every panel, and are driven by people who are incapable of passing a driving test or who are habitual drunks.
