Soon to acquire a family hand me down

mihir2002 · 9th October 2020, 22:35

Hi everyone, I have been absent from this forum for many years but thought I should reintroduce myself. My dad has owned a ZT which he swapped for a ZTT since 2002. I am about to acquire his old ZTT on Monday after a major service (including timing belts and a machine polish), which I am super excited about. He bought it in 2005 after the demise of MGR and has owned it since. It’s a Caledonian ZTT 190 SE with blue dash and blue Alcantara - so pretty unique! I will post some of photos once I get the keys but here is a photo from a few years ago (hopefully you’ll be able to see it).

Looking forward to getting to know you as I become a fully fledged ZTT owner.

Or maybe even an heirloom? A hair loom sounds like a wig making machine.

Nice car by the sounds of it.

Beautiful colour Mihir, should polish up great. You'll have to bring it to one of our pub meets when they get going again so we can see it in the flesh

Would love to come to a meet once things get back to normal.

Have a week holiday in Blaenau Ffestiniog starting next weekend as long as lockdown doesn’t scupper things. Going to be very different to the Peugeot Partner Tepee I currently drive!!
