Default Needs must...

75 Contemporary SE. (with no seat bolster rips etc)

Regrettably, I have no choice now but part with one of my cars. As many of you will know, I gave up a life of journalism to teach. As a full-time, one-year postgrad student I have absolutely no income and rely on my wife, our savings and the income from a bijou of dwarves that manufacture unicorn poop that we keep in the cellar.

My uni/teaching workload is high and I have a number of academic essays to complete in a very short timeframe. Yesterday, mid-sentence, my desk Mac threw a seven and emitted smoke from within. It's old and been repaired several times and now it's time to replace it. Moving to use my Macbook which I use for Uni as it's mobile and is synced to my desk machine, it too took a turn for the worse and died an unceremonious death. Both were ancient. I'm not going the PC route for a bunch of reasons and really need like-for-like replacements. And I need them, like NOW. Consequently, I'm forced to part with Seafrost. I've decided to keep the ZT-T for the time being as I have a grander plan for that.

Timing-wise, this is bad as, to add to that, we dipped heavily into our savings and bought a new(ish) VW golf Tdi which made perfect sense to us for a plethora of personal reasons, and, thus, I'd rather sell my 75 to fund the replacement Mac than dip any further. This will please my wife.

From a forum member, I will take a swift £1950 but that is without the head unit and all put back to Highline HK spec.

Everything done to it. Belts, new tyres, new clutch, various upgrades etc etc. You know this car and it's used daily to Aberdeen and back. Many have seen it and commented so I know she's a good 'un.

Sorry, Anna, timing is wrong. I was holding off as didn't want to compete with your own sale of similar.







More pics if you need 'em.

Ive had the pleasure of seeing this car in the flesh on one of Sir Rustalots commutes up the east coast of Scotland. The pictures do not do it justice! It is absolutely stunning in one of the nicest colours I've seen. Good luck with the sad sale.

Good luck! As has happened to many of us things change and we have to sell one of our cars to meet circumstances. You have put a lot of time and effort into this car lets hope it goes to a member on here.
In the future you can always build the fleet up again.

What's the mileage?
I assume it has been serviced well?
How much MOT?
Does it have cruise?
Any additional photos?

What is the price as is, with headunit etc?

Well serviced with service record, original owners manual, ten months MOT, cruise and every extra (heated seats, electric sunroof etc etc). Head unit can be left in by separate negotiation. These cost quite a bit of money, as you'll already be aware. Loads of pics available but then it starts to get a bit 'samey'.

Interior photos is all I was after really. The outside looks clean and straight.

Which model of headunit is it?

Head unit is from the Prima 3 series but I don't know the actual model identifier. All I know is that it works magnificently. It's a Radioguy unit.

Thank you.

That isn't a tow ball in the bag by the spare wheel is it?
