Default ZT V6's with auto box?

How many V6 cars had the auto box? There don't seem to be any around where I live. I went a ride in Animal's V6 manual awhile back and now find myself keep drooling over them - but I only drive auto.

What sort of prices do they fetch?

There are a few about, and reasonably priced as not many people like the fuel consumption!

I had a ZT180, that's the V6 with the auto! Great car to drive. Very smooth auto box but it was really a cruiser rather than a bruiser. Made a great noise but your average warm hatch would keep up if pushed along. Had to part with it when my commute increased from 6 miles to 50 though. As Trikey says, fuel consumption isn't this combinations strong point. I was averaging 19mpg.

Still, would I have another? Absolutely! Regret selling it.

It certainly is but expensive to convert. There's a nice looking 190 with lpg for sale over on the west coast at the mo. Blue alcantara interior! Prob is I really like everything about my contemp SE. Everything works, it's near immaculate, great economy and eats up the miles but! It's a diesel😞.

Would love another V6 but with the car I have Being a 'known' quantity it'd be a big risk.

I've had it on my favourites list on gumtree for a while now. It looks great and being lpg ticks that box. Just can't bring myself to punt the cdti for it and can't justify both. If it was a tourer... or nearer... prob best it's neither or I'd be in real trouble at home!

The fact it's one of our chaps selling it is reassuring. Thought it was an enthusiast as there's a second 75 poking it's nose into the pics🙂

It is myself and a friend selling the LPG ZT 190.

It really is a beautiful car that is fully loaded. The Firefrost behind is my grandads Connie SE CDTI

Is the LPG one auto? I can imagine you're going to say no...

I'm not selling the Connie, I have big plans to make that spot on mechanically over time, but thought if there was a ZT close enough/cheap enough I could have a bit of a play. In retrospect, probably not a good idea as once I'd got it, I'd want to mint that u too...
