Some rarer stuff is getting crazy money at the moment. Friends who buy and sell classic car are amazed at what some stuff is fetching, one of them recently sold a Bitter Coupe, normally these fetch £30 to £35k, he advertised it and was inundated with calls and emails and he thought he was being cheeky at £40K, the buyer did not even look at it just transfered the money and had it collected unseen. As one of them was saying it could be the ULEZ thing as they can drive some of this stuff in the zone with no charge. |

Just proves what happens when you get two people at an auction wanting the same lot. Hope the lucky new owner knows who Tom Hobbs is.

No problem, I'm hoping to pop over soon to pick up some panels from him. The man is quite the genius.

Hey Les, have still got your V8?? So few 75s around this way these days and my 75 is off the road with possible terminal rust underneath, Doesnt seem to matter what I do to treat the rust, it just comes back!!

I know many people don't like it as a rust treatment, but have you tried painting old engine oil underneath. I notice you are in North East Scotland so the winter weather isn't ideal for a cars underbody, i'm in West Wales which is similar weather wise and I've always found old engine oil painted directly onto rust protects the metal and stops it rusting further and it tends to just stay on there.

My Trophy Blue ZT 260 was bought in early 2011 for £5k with 28k on the clock and now has 42k. It is in very nice condition and has a good service history. Though i am not selling, if i was I would want £12k.
My ZT 190 is also in Trophy Blue, purchased in 2014 for £850 and again not for sale. No idea what its worth but a fraction of the 260. Best ZTs though i have owned were a brace of CDTIs - one scrapped at 262k miles as did not want to do the slave cylinder (again) and its identical replacement with 170k miles was recently sold last month and will live for another year with its new owner (club member). |
