My new ZT

stevestrat · 8th May 2013, 17:01

This was a totally unexpected purchase through a chance encounter with one of my late father's dog walking friends. He noticed I had a 75, he had a ZT which he was thinking about selling as it was basically gathering dust, he used either his Transit van or diesel Volvo all the time. I advertised it here but no interest and ended up buying it myself! What clinched it was the amount of money that has been spent on it, wad of receipts for close to £4,000.

Just got it on the road today after a valet, he has a white Spaniel so you can imagine what the interior was like!

I had no intention of buying another car but couldn't let this pass. Every service stamped, wad of receipts that would choke a horse. The guy who owned it was the type that if it needed done or there was a suspicion it needed done it was done.

Very tidy Steve and I think you'd have to be mad to have passed it up.
