This one is back on the road now, new belts and all. Will get some pics up soon. Had a drive, and it's a very nice car. A pity about the damage, but better repaired than stripped IMHO.

For anyone who is intersted, My other halves late father brought a BMW 5 series from these guys (Plev Bristol) and the service was brilliant... A couple of small issues with trim were sorted without question.. BUT the bit that really impressed me with this garage was this......

Shortly after purchasing the car he was diagnosed with cancer... He sadly passed away after a few months

My other haves mum was dreading selling the car as she knew nothing about it, and did not like the idea of strangers coming round the house... We were based 2 hours drive away, so were prohibited when trying to help with it... So I gave Plev garage a ring and explained the situation.. Without question they agreed to sell the car for her!!!! They sent someone to collect it, put it on their forecourt and when sold, made NO charge and forwarded the money straight on to the mother in law!

Nice to know that there are some genuine dealers out there who have a heart.. I cannot reccomend them enough...

So if anyone is interested in the car, I would say that this is a great garage to buy it from!!

According to Copart when I, and others equired every panel had slight damage to it, as the result of vandals.

We both seem to draw parrallels on who the previous owner was.

Stunning. One of may favourite colours. This is exactly what I would have wanted if I'd seen it before I bought my ZT-T. I've only ever seen one other car in that colour and it was a ZR. Its good to know at least one 75 / ZT has been painted in it.

Re: the comments the Cat D car: if it is that (Admission: don't know what 'Cat D' means. Can someone explain please?) and the damage was just vandalism to panels, if that was all, if the panels have been repaired (well) or replaced then the car should be OK and with the new paint job should be OK.

Assuming that to be the situation and the car to be in otherwise good condition, I would say that that is a reasonable price for such a car and argue that all other 75 & ZT's are undervalued for what they are.

Cheers,
Kearton

These was at least two 75 tourers in Moonshine. Here is the other one for

sale in a showroom somewhere in Britain.

And it's a Contemporary so a sister model to the OP.

I have a TF160 in this colour - love it.
This car looks stunning - and I don't really like Estates!
