Looks a lovely straight car! Shame that more ZT owners didn't choose the chrome trims on dark colours! Look forward to seeing how this progresses!

Well, It's the first 1.8 I've ever had the first 1.8t I've ever had.

Matches my V6 tourer

It's currently got a blown turbo and a very flat battery but other then that its immaculate.

Well after nearly two years in her previous garage, it finally arrived with me yesterday

Popped a brand new exide battery in and started first turn of the key. Smokes like anything but the previous diagnosis was turbo seals so hopefully that is all

Inside is immaculate, and apart from a couple of minor blemishes the body is mint

Well I'm gobsmacked.....I've just been through the large folder of paper that came with the car and there is every piece of paper from the original spec sheet ticking all the options and extras, invoice, service book and receipt for every bit of work.

That looks and sounds like a very good find.

Well it's now in it's temporary home awaiting a turbo repair, its belching out smoke like there's no tomorrow.

Included was a genuine pair of roof bars, the box and packaging in the boot

Sounds like a cracker.

Greeners · 24th May 2016, 20:48
