One you might wish to avoid if you're shopping for a ZT 190+

Went to see this.

Had spoken to the trader beforehand but he had said he didn't want to show it until he'd had a chance to valet it.
I knew from the photos where it was and popped in unexpectedly.

Tax ran out last December and has obviously been sitting doing nothing since then.
Plenty of water in the boot, damaged driver's seat bolster.
State of engine bay and the stuff the previous owner had left in it told a story of neglect, but I have no doubt that he'll make a silk purse out of what is currently very much a pig's ear.
