Forgot to publish the results of my little competition

Bearing in mind the 75 in question was in for a new cooling fan and condenser:

The mileage would be expected to be at least 90k (70k if just in for a fan motor!!)

Mileage estimates were:

James 16,000

Sid 76,000

Jeff 43,000

Rich 98,000

Tony 200,000 (originally Tony said 160k but changed his mind !!)

Derek 47,851

The actual mileage is 150,610 so Tony won the Wooden 75 keyfob

The interior still looks new I think you will agree.
I've seen tattier at 70k, how others get so grubby is a mystery to me

Little competition for the mini meet tomorrow..............

Guess the mileage of this totally original 2003 CDT Conny Beauty

It can be seen in the flesh having a new cooling fan.
The winner who's mileage guess is the closest will receive the prize in the link below

The prize will be one of these

Well erm... I live in Llandudno... so I'll try getting the day off, or the morning shift... think I can be counted in. :p

Damn.. just noticed this says August.. not Sept ¬_¬
Stupid month changing every 30 days..urgh.

Do another one! I only just got my ZT V6 and I live in Llandudno!

Jules.. this is going back a while.. maybe 4 years... but!

Does your dad also drive a ZT and did it breakdown at the Colwyn Bay Lidl about.. erm... 4 or 5 years ago (told you a while, haha) and then you came to help him in your V8 monogram.... I was working there at the time and came out and asked you to rev the engine :p
I was missing my ZR so much at the time because I'd only just moved to the UK from Belgium and wasn't able to get ANY insurance for it over here.. so had to leave it there and sell her

Anyways.. bit of an old 'was it you', haha.

HI Robert

Yes that was me !!!
What an Ultimate "was it you" 5 years on

It was one of my sales cars my Father was testing for me.
Low & behold at only 10k miles the final drive locked up in the car park.
(couldn't go forward or backwards!)
By the time the recovery truck dropped it off at the Garage, it had freed itself.
(guess it was a piece of swarf stuck in the cogs)

It never happened again and the new owner drove it off a few weeks on.
12 months later a courtesy call revealed all was still fine with their ZT 160.
We added a Gerry metal T for good measure
