Default My last ZT Cat C write off is back on the road!

Hi all,
Some of you may remember my last rare colour ZT which I wrote off last Oct, well I just checked on DVLA web site and the cat C has been lifted and its been MOTed and taxed.
I just hope its been repaired right as it had roof and sill damage.

Has anyone seen it or know of it?

I'm glad it's been saved - although I haven't heard anything since I saw it was written off. Will keep an eye on the Facebook groups - I'm sure it'll be with an enthusiast.

Yes I think it must be an enthusiast as it sold for more that it's £700 reserve at Copart.

I just can't see how it was worth it-
Reserve £700 min, then it would need front and rear bumpers, door, repair to sill, roof, rear wing, door post, rear suspension and then a repaint!

I mean no disrespect - but I cannot see how the figures stacked up to make a repair worthwhile.

A monogram 190 is nice - but I'm sure you could have a choice of cars for £1500. If you add in a new bumper, door & paint (I'm ignoring the B-pillar here!) would you really get change from £800?

It was a bargain car for someone in the know...A very cheap repair for a very nice car. I'd have mended it for less than £150 for myself...
It might be yours again someday...

Good to hear that it's still alive and back on the road.

Don't say that! If it came up for sale I don't think I could control my myself.
