Time to retire my ZTT

mccano · 4th December 2009, 19:06

I have taken the very sad decision to retire my beloved ZTT.With 250000 km on the clock I think she has earned some deserved rest.I really can't bear selling it;fortunately my young nephew likes the car and I will pass the car to him.At least I can keep an eye on her.Now for the replacement...My original plan was to find another ZTT with a lower mileage ,not an easy task in Italy as they are so rare.On top of that the 75s and the ZTs are classed as euro 3 in Italy,which means restriction in some large urban areas.Also to bring the new car to the specs of the old one would have taken a lot of time and money.To cut a long story short I got the only car on the market that I like nearly as much as the ZTT,the Chrysler 300c Touring with the 3.0 litre V6 diesel with 218bhp, and all the bells and whistles.We will see.I hope I will not be banned from the forum and I will continue to log in regularly.I also hope I can convince my nephew to lend me the car for the next meeting.
All the best,
Luciano

A great shame to see you part with your car. An absolutely stunning example of the car with extra ordinary but superbly tasteful upgrades IMO.

As for the 300c touring. What a beast!

Certainly think they are good to look at!

Very much hope to see you again at future meets.In either car. Best of luck with your new purchase.

Good luck with your new car, Luciano!

Well, I doubt you can convince your nephew to lend the car, once he has fallen in love ...

Of course you can bring your 300C to a meet. As you know there are some guys bringing Vauxhalls to the meets (me included

, but just once).

make sure he looks after it for you Luciano, and please hang around in the forum, guess we may not get to fit the powerfolds after all ?

Hi Luciano,

a sad day, and one that will come to us all. Don't be a stranger now

And enjoy the 300C. Having driven one I know they are a great car, and comparable to the 75/ZT in terms of character.

Cheers

Mike

Don't be a stranger Luciano and enjoy your new car. I wish I was your nephew, one lucky fella!!

Thanks to you all for the kind messages.A good forum is made by the people and not by the car,and this forum is not one I will miss in the future,whatever car I drive.
First impressions on the Chrysler are very positive:loads of power and amazing torque,very smooth and silent.Steering not as precise as the ZTT and the ride is a little to floaty for my liking.Also very,very big.And would you believe in a car where everything is powered,including steering wheel tilt and reach..no powerfold mirrors.Back to square one.I also got as close as possible to a personalised plate in Italy (DJ 300 MY)
Let's keep in touch,

Luciano

Hi Luciano,

Ciao Luciano.

Sorry to hear you've parted with the car - will have to look for the 300c next time I pass through Genoa. Hope it lives up to the MG.
