What made you fall for the 75/ZT? - Page 4

When the car was launched I really admired lthe style but I don't buy new cars. When I was looking for something cheap to run the solid BMW motor in the Rover attracted me in 2009 I found a nice diesel Connoisseur saloon.

Fixed the usual problems and drove it around. Pretty small cost to run for the last 8 years and have been looking for a decent tourer for some time and the Cosmic Supply Company delivered, just in time, a 100,000 mile one with a new MOT and, it turns out a full service history, for three figures.

I think the cars are a stunning used buy. A real quality and under appreciated 'banger'.

I came into ownership by chance, a deer jumped over a wall and landed on my SAAB and wrote it off on the way home from work one night, I needed something cheap and cheerfull just to get me up and down to work, I came across an '04 ZT V6 160 with 39.000 miles for £600 with three days left on the MOT, I got it for £550, due to MOT, it flew through, no advisories.
Im still running it two years later, goes back for MOT next month, with 45k miles on it. Love it, a fantastic car, not a bit of bother, it had the usual leaking boot, but with help from this fantastic forum, all fixed.

Main reason for me is the way it rides and the hassle free way it does it.

I've travelled 185k over 9 years in this car, that says it all.
