ZT 190 on 30 k

Yorkshire GOC · 26th March 2020, 18:09

A 190 on 30,000 miles - never seen gold alloys before - looks at first glance to be in excellent nick

What a dream car, so wish I could have it, but, alas...

Go On Janet. You know you want to!

Not sure I like the gold wheels - too JPS special! And that from one who currently has a 1980 Rover V8S in black with gold alloys (original) and has not got to grips with liking those either - even after 37 years in the family!

Surprised that it has had 5 owners who have only clocked up so few miles. Most low mileage cars have only 1 or 2 owners who are real enthusiasts in my experience.

The wheels are hideous, and I wouldn't buy a car from that particular individual if I were being paid

Not a trustworthy person at all

I like it surprisingly and I normally dont like modified cars. Love to see pics of your Sd1.

Hmm, off the road for the last 4 yr it seems and then there are these advisories

Front Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))
Rear Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened (1.1.14 (a) (ii))
Coolant leak ()

Why not sort them for a "perfect, as new" car? especially the coolant leak?

I haven’t owned it long, I have the full log book but filled out the motor trader slip when I bought it.

I bought it as the owners had just had it serviced and tyres fitted and then it sprang a coolant leak and went back to the garage and they were a bit fed up. So I made them a good offer for it and had it collected.

Then I’ve sorted the coolant leak, done the 3 timing belts and water pump (and tensioner, idler, etc) we well as an oil and filter. Had a service including plugs a few months back but I had to drain the oil so replaced with new.
