Don't you mean break it. No car should be broken and certainly not a facelift if there is still life left in the car.

I cannot find a ruling about the apparent "Blasphemy" to the latter part of your statement

On the other hand most cars do come with a brake

So nothing patently BREAKS the rules here, except against the ethos of the Club's existence

Looks like it's done at least 250k miles judging by how tired the interior looks.
How do they get so grubby?!!

I'm giving the interior a good clean out today.. then it's going to get some jobs done to sort out it's issues before selling it on.

hi, is it black or royal blue? i cant make out from the pics!
if its blue, and you decide to break it, i maybe interested in a few parts to swap/partex for mine!
my 05 contemp in royal blue has done 162k and while the inside is in great condition, the front end looks like its been shot blasted!

IMO nobody should be asking the OP for parts off this car or any other car unless an announcement is made in the spare for sale section, the ethos of this club is to keep these cars on the road and not encourage members to chop them up.

Dansrockin · 31st August 2012, 13:03

the op was the one conisdering breaking it, i just said if he decided to, i may be interested!
personally i agree about keeping the cars on the road, but if no one was to break up cars, we'd run out of some spare parts pretty quickly!

If you were to sell it whole, how much do you want for it?

Oh and cat D does show up on the log book. I have owned a couple in the past.

Without cars being broken half of the cars in this club would no longer be on the road and to be honest if I thought it would break for more than it's worth as a complete car I would break mine without a second thought even if had a full MOT..
Like it or not the ZT/75 will go the way of many before it most will end up scrapped or used as bangers etc with just a few left of which I would think that the ZT will be the most sought after much as the cortina GT and mini cooper are now..
Cheers Ian

it will break up to around the 2k mark as its a face lift model. it will take a bit of time to get your money in but its worth more in parts than as a whole.
