Default seen a v8 for sale - Essex

I saw a ZT V8 for sale tonight in a dealer just up the road from me. Couldn't see it close up as it was inside the showrom which was closed, but I found it on the internet here

http://www.bransonscars.com/used-car...01311059695746

06 plate, advert says 52,000 miles.
Absolutely nothing to do with me, but I thought it might be of interest on here. Caveat emptor.

What's with the funny handle things on the rear doors? Poverty spec on a V8? Really.....I thought the poverty came after you bought one

Non-SE and there's plenty of them about!

He's had it a while and is certainly at the top end of pricing for it's mileage and spec!

MY biggest worry would be the lack of traction control

I'm considering a V8 but it would have to be a series 1. Anyone?

Having driven a non SE V8 for 140,000 never had the need for traction control ?
