Default Zt 260se.........

....in monogram Twilight - low mileage too. More than two pics in the ad would have been nice, but the seller does say there are more available.

Wonder why there is such a sudden influx of ZT260s appearing on the market?

I reckon folk have these as, what were cheap weekend cars, but have seen the huge price increases over the last couple of years and are looking to cash in before the evil internal combustion engine is resigned to history.

In keeping with our recent performance, I would like to start the V8 bashing by highlighting major issues with this car.

1. Firstly, it is not red.

2. Secondly, that Conifer in the background is not fit for purpose. It looks like something produced by a defunct grower and is obviously a prototype.

3. The other Rover, despite being shown in the photograph, is not included in the price. The owner is obviously not trustworthy.

5. It is not a C-class in Essex girl colour scheme.

6. A Hillman Imp would be my choice instead.

Please add your own negativity.

I don't see a massive V8 badge, so I don't see the point in owning one if you are not going to tell everyone it's a V8.

"The Number Plate is not included, nor is the Ski Blue Rover 75"

That settles it. I need a number plate for it to be legal, and I always wanted a ski blue car.

You need to try harder in the negativity department young man.

Because parts are almost non existent, and to keep one and maintain it is an utter pain in the rear, and most of your life is spent chasing parts, hoarding parts, and spending money.
