Why do some folk have more than one 75 or ZT?
Hi All,
I'm just wondering why have more than one? I think I may be answering my own question but I wouldn't mind having a second one. The reason for me is now that I am aware and know what to look for I would like to have one that looks cosmetically great whilst at the same time is mechanically sound with a clean interior. Don't get me wrong I am smitten with the Beast but it will never be up to scratch and will always need something doing to it so I would like a second one just for the pure enjoyment of knowing it's sound and nothing other than standard maintenance etc needs doing. Looking back I bought a cheap car expecting to use and abuse it as just a runaround and had no idea it would become a passion and hobby. If I had known what I know now it would have been a lot cheaper for me to buy one £1000+ that was already decent lol. I best get saving because I want a Sunday best 75 or ZT lol....this time a different engine too.

ENDED UP REALISING IT REALLY ISN'T PRACTICAL NOT HAVING A CAR TO GET AROUND AND I NOW OWN A VW EOS 3.2 V6 INDIVIDUAL (1 OF 20 REMAINING IN THE UK WITH THAT ENGINE AND TRIM COMBO) EVEN THOUGH I STILL LIVE ON A BUSY ROAD WITHOUT A DRIVE |

I want another because....I just do
If mine was written off it would be less painful if i owned second. And of course there is something about keeping the marque alive as one day these may be rare cars (for some this may be a long term investment). Also if one was off the road you've got a back up And i want a petrol varient, a 2.5 V6 with all the toys if poss

If I had my drive and garage again I'd have two tomorrow.
As it is I now live in a retirement complex with an allotted parking space so have had my wings well and truly clipped. Seems I'll just have to keep adding goodies to the one I have.

If MG were mad enough to build a Mustang powered ZT then I just had to have one, and the ZT cdti is a very good tool

He shoots - HE SCORES!!!
To answer the OP - I always liked them, but could never afford one back when they were new. Now I have three, although I grudgingly accept I may have to sell one of those. Each is of varying spec (the lowest a Club SE which I am starting to upgrade) but each has their own charm. I think the strange thing is that despite the youngest of mine now being 12 years old, they all feel like nearly new cars, and even the worn bits (like the leather on one of the steering wheels ) add to the character rather than making it look like just another example of tarnished white goods. Hopefully I'll be driving one of these in another 12 years' time.
