What could you replace yours with?

rizel23 · 6th May 2011, 16:54

Having think at work today, between sorting a presentation for the council on feedback of a service, so i naturally started thinking of my car.......

Now i love my ZT 190, its 10 years old and i have spent the last 6 moths getting it upto spec with new alloy wheels, tyres, genuine rear discs and pads, genuine floor mats, mg rover logo number plates, new clutch hydraulics and DMF, belts and DD unit + much more.

I think i have spent around £1k onto of my purchase price of £1.6K, but with the age, mileage (104K) condition and most importantly the professional LPG system i would struggle to get 2k for it.

The only other car i think i could afford to run and give me as much pleasure to drive would be a pre face lift Honda Civic Type R, but i would still have to bang another 2K on top easily.

So what would car, if you had to, within a reasonable budget would you replace your ZT/75 with?

Another lower millage ZT. Honest.

And if I could, a ZT-T CDTi also for daily hacking.

New, would be this.

Skoda Superb in white

Old, would be this

Daimler Double Six in a dark blue

I was just looking at a last of the ZT-T's CDTi, that defiantly would have to be on the short list

The only car I would change for my cherished 75 is a real decent 190 SE

I find these cars very affordable and when you get to know them,easy to maintain,as previosly stated..a lot of car for the money

Chrysler 2.2 CRD PT Cruiser..tuneable to 300nm torque and 200bhp...and can be modded perhaps even more than our cars....oh and the drivers of said cars wave to each other...unlike ours...
