Just perusing the classifieds and this looked a nice excample? Just wandering if anyone knows it or has any thoughts on price, model, colour, options, the dealer etc?

It has been up for sale for a while, and has had the price dropped, it was £29,995.00 from memory, i think its lovelly and the colour of my choice and cheap, but the fact its been for sale for months leads me to beleive there may been some issues with it ? the only way to tell would be to have a look at it, i did hear someone mention it may have been a motor journalists car and had been well driven but i can on no way confirm this so you would only tell by looking at it and driving it, its my dream car right now and if i had the money would be having a dam good look at it as it in my mind is a bargain, beautiful car. i was tempted to go have a look at it but as it is by appointmant only i didnt want to waste their time as i dont have the funds.

Its Chris Jenkins old car. He has driven it well, but also it would have been serviced well.
He has a few cars and owned this for years. Its standard other than intake and shifter AFAIK.
Definitely worth a look. I think its sat there because of the miles and perhaps the intake and shifter put off some who want a totally stock one.

Looks to be a UK spec car as it has the washers for the headlights.

[ringram]

It is. He bought it UK new as soon as it was released. Probably one of the first.

That would rule it out for me personally as could not bare to pay the high tax, import = £220 a year just like my mustang

But you could have his car for 5 years and still only spend an extra £1325 (at the current rate), which would still make his car cheap.

However I prefer to pay the lower tax cost too!!

Yes the tax is a bummer, I would know

However with everything else taken in to consideration, ie fuel, insurance, tyres etc the extra couple of hundred quid a year is really just a pita. What is it, about 3 tanks of juice? If that.

If that is your dream then live it. You don't have to keep it, just have it for one summer you could always move it on. Having lost another good friend this week, my advice, as always, is to live for now

Not knowing anything about zo6`s and price is that down to the bone ?
