Late registered cars
My ZT V8 is an 06 and my Fathers ZT-T is a 56. I have also seen a black ZT V8 on an 08 plate. Is there any delivery mileage cars, pre-registered still about any where? Did the receiver sell everything?

I wouldn't buy a late car for two reasons:

I think he was refering to the cars put together after the administraters were called in and finished by hand All the 55,06,56 etc cars were built earlier and registered at later dates when eventually sold with the exception of the few hand finished ones

Did The Men With the Axe Over Their Heads Still Have Pride in Their Work?

However, should you have inside information, I'd be interested to hear the tale. If I've got it right (from the data obtained by Reebs), the team of 10 men hand-assembled 93 cars in about a month.

No, no inside info or anything. It's just that you'd have people using "whatever's left over" to build as many cars as possible, some expertise gone, working hard knowing the end is nigh. I should imagine horrible for anyone in that situation; I'm sure they did their best with pride! No offence intended!
Incidentally aside from my father-in-law being at MGR up to bankruptcy I actually come from a family of engineers, only one which is still in the trade. I remember my dad (formerly a toolmaker) training his Taiwanese replacements. Oh the joys of being brought up in an industrial area!
