Only 5 pictures? Poor ones too.
It’s 30k of trouble. What a terrible waste of a good looking car.

Yes, been discussed many times & dealer is local to me.

My ZT was an SMG car. The one previous owner said he bought it to replace a Stag that rusted away. The ZT didn't do it for him (not really the same type of car), so he sold it. When he bought it from SMG, delivery mileage, it had all the tyres, belts, filters and fluids renewed. The only real age related deterioration I found on it was the Shannon tube had rotted. Also the windscreen cracked within weeks of getting it, I'm not sure why. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the other seals keep going, but I was well pleased to get a vgc low mileage ZT at a good price.
I've browsed around SMG when picking up OEM parts and agree their cars are well above the market rate. However it seems some people are prepared to pay their rates for our favorite brand and SMG do seem to do a thorough delivery service.

It all depends on how the car has been stored. If it’s been sympathetically kept, inside and away from moisture, it’ll be in good shape. If it’s been outside for years, less so...

Some one I know went down to see the car a few years ago and after looking around it offered about 75% of the asking price and he was told it is the price as advertised and that was it or he would keep it. He was not even interested in a deal
My guess by the time you have recommissioned it you will spend £5k easily but as soon as you drive it the value will fall if it. It needs to go to a museum or car collection and preserve it. |

When you look at the price being asked of other more run of the mill models being held in their stock, the stock would appear to be being counted along fixed assets to artificially inflate the value of the company. If there are any accountants who would like to see if I'm talking through my hat, I've attached the unaudited financial statement up to the 2018 year end. Brian |
