My £300 tourer
 

So last October I was browsing the forum and spotted this tourer only a few miles away from me. I already have a 50,000 mile V6 but couldn't resist going to see it.

It did have a few battle scars and had been used as transport for the tip etc. Anyway I paid £290 for it with one months MOT. I booked it in and it past first time ( albeit with advisories).

Since then, the following has been done

All belts replaced and water pump
Heating system flushed out as it was blocked
Full service
Replaced the faulty rear door lock
Fitted illuminated sun visors
Real wood dash, wooden handbrake and gearknob.
Fitted the underfloor storage tray and foam inserts
Plenum guard

This was the car when I picked it up

Nice, and a real bargain :D

Just goes to show there’s still bargains out there

Gorgeous. Great work. I think I’ve seen this. Will need to swing by and have a nose. :D

Looking good ! Hard work brings its reward. I'm sure yours will pay off over and over.

Thanks for all the great comments.

This car featured in the magazine published by the 75 and ZT enthusiasts club which said that it may have been a special order car, as a V6 on a MK2.

Other odd bits(but probably just down to parts bins) was that it had the MK2 oak dash but Mk1 clocks?

This car could easily have been heading to scrap or breaking at £290 with next to no MOT. I'm glad I rescued it and that I don 't have any more space to store any more. It's an expensive hobby!:D

ah ha i remember this car now .it was a 2 litre kv6 car which was only avaliable to order. as the 2.0 litre kv6 had been dropped by then .zeb rescued it.it was then sold to anna i think who called it frosty.i may have the magazine with in still somewhere.any way glad you have it it looks superb.

Thanks, it didn't come with any history so it's good to find out a bit more:bowdown:

i will have to dig out the mag sometime and have a look i think it may still be available as a download

Only two jobs left do on it.

The fuel filler lock has broken so that needs replaced

I think I'll remove the towbar, I don't need it and I think it spoils the look
