Dads Car

Thunderbolt · 4th October 2015, 13:19

Hello everyone,

My dad (78) has bought a ZT Tourer.
It is a 53 reg green 190 2.5v6.
It has 18,000 miles on the clock.
Dad lives in Pembroke.
I will be responsible for maintenance, slight issue is I live in Bristol.
I have only seen the car once and it looks bang on.
I think job 1 will be the sunroof drains.
Is there a specialist in South Wales? Or Bristol?
I am keen to help dad keep this car a1, but have to be realistic in that I live 120miles away and have a job, active family and no free weekend till mid November.

All help and advice gratefully received.

That's very low miles for a car that age

I would also suggest MJN Motors in Bristol. Mark is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Mark is based on Emery Road, Brislington, opposite the Park and Ride on the Bath Road.

When I had my 75 I took it to Mark for servicing and repairs and I will be doing the same with my ZTT.

Thanks for the info.
Dads car is the same colour as the green one above.
I didn't think it was BRG as its a bit lighter than the BRG i am used to and has a metallic / pearl effect.
