My '05 ZT+

Samdep · 8th July 2022, 04:57

Hi everybody! Thought I'd join in on the fun over here as I just bought a lovely ZT (in replacement of an 03 Streetwise 105).

It's a very late ZT+ 160, manufactured on 15th March 2005, finished in a lovely shade of Firefrost Red with 82K miles on the clock.

It's far from perfect and definitely needs a bit of TLC (as it sat for a couple of months on the PO's driveway after being imported from the UK to Belgium) but it's a great runner and it just passed our MOT and is finally ready to be registered!

I was also wondering in anybody might have known this specific car back in the UK? Here it is, wearing its original registration (PO was from the Midlands/Birmingham area)

Nice looking motor.

Looks good. What TLC is required?

I've already replaced the usual saggy headliner, fixed a couple of electrical gizmos and swapped the headlights (old ones had been poorly re-lacquered)... Plus a ton of cleaning and buffing.
Still need to fix a couple of finish blemishes, swap the scratched front windows and get the aftermarket speed limiter to work

Who do I see about a warranty claim - the 'usual saggy headlining' in my 22 year old 1.8 Classic SE has failed to appear yet?
