Right guys need some help here. Got a mate who has been to gretna a couple of times with me and came to the pol/national with me and now hes got the bug bigtime lol. He is looking for a facelift ZT 180 auto and has spotted one in his prefered colour of black but it is in a showroom in Birmingham and we are in glasgow,is there anybody in the area who could check it out for us and let me know what you think. He will be going down on the 11th to buy it so it gives ux a week to find out if its worth the travling down for.

Here is the link

Go to the first post & you'll see a list of members in each area, just pm a couple in the Midlands & see if anyone can take a look.

Problem with buying most cars from Scotland is they are very rusty underneath and in engine bay because of all the battering from the road salt in their harsh winters.

As an aside why oh why do sellers photograph their cars with an un latched bonnet ........
