06 plate ZT 260 for Sale. - Page 3

Anyway...................it's nice to own a V8

And, as lots of 'normal' ZT's seem to find an early end, at least body parts aren't a problem.
MKI bumper should be easily sorted for cheap

Engine from a Mustang, parts more plentiful than for a KV6, go figure................

Too bad they only made 883 V8 models but thankfully >10000 ZTs for spare body parts

That encompasses every V8

Each is different, each has it's own idiosyncrasies, and above all, apart from a nice burble from the exhaust, not particularly quick or pleasant to drive.

I can see why people find them endearing, but I could think of better ways to spend that amount of money on a car

The engine bay looks manky for such a low mileage car!

What's with all the white residue covering almost everything?

Whatever it is its all over the plastic parts as well. Looks like something has gone pop under the bonnet at some time.

6 registered keepers. Been in trade since December last year.

The number of registered keepers isn't anything to go by, the owner before the guy I bought my 260 from only had it three weeks!
