Has it only managed 3,300 miles 'cos it's a Cowley cow? It will probably start to rust as soon as it gets all-weather use! Unless you are into rarity and like waxoyling and preserving, it would not be my choice, - especially at that price!

This one has already been discussed on the forum, undertaker purchased for £1400.00 on the understanding that he would drive it and get belts replaced as I understand. Members got it going!

It's great to see some of these cars appearing on the market that have no markable mileage commanding high prices. It's a sure sign the 75/Zt is a future classic with appreciating value. It only means good news for all the dedicated owners here :-) :-)

Optimistically priced for a club, no harm in trying though. A lovely example, shame it's not a connie.
