what a load of drivel

He says it's got "every option", but I'm not sure he's got foldy mirrors or the net curtains in the back. I've got an egay account - should I ask? And were he got his information about the cut and shuts after the titsup...

Nice looking car but apart from the seller bulls***t I've never seen an SE with those wheels and I've never seen that rectangular switch above the faglighter.

LPG? Nah, save up for the journey North!!

I asked my questions, and this was the reply - suggests to me you might not want to buy one from Elite Car (but I don't want to cast any etc...)

Ahem " You are correct about the rear blind - it doesnt have it. The mirrors to fold, but they are not electric. (wasn't aware of that being an option!)

Regarding the later zt 260's, when i was looking around, there were infact quite a few newer models for sale, but i found it strange that an 06 reg for example had a pre-facelift front end on it, and as i started looking harder at the later cars for sale more and more of them just didnt seem right, one even had rover alloys on as opposed to MG, I found some which were SE spec, but didnt have satnav!! I then found mine for sale at a garage (elite car) who specialised in this type of car, and actually had 3 zt260's for sale, (he nearly allways had an advert in autotrader offering to buy ZT 260's for cash), and infact i have spoken to him about taking mine back, obviously he is only offering trade money @ £6500, which is reasonable money, but i will give it a few weeks on ebay auto trader before taking him up on that. (my next car is alreayd lined up!) anyway... he seemed very knowledgable about these cars, and had sold lots of them. I mentioned to him that i had seen these other newer cars, and he then told me about them, aparently when the receivers came in at Rover, there were lots of parts left over, and to get some of the money back from these parts and unfinished builds, the receivers brought in a company to finish off as many cars as they could, and hence the odd final cars. he had actually been offered a batch of them (because he specialised in them) and at an amazing price, but he turned them down due to the fact they were made up of parts, and so not proper spec, and not just the outside - seats, satnav etc aswell. and on top of the weird spec's - the quality of the build wasnt as good, so he turned them all down, saying he wouldn't touch one, and warned me off."


So, there you go...

As the original title then eh Mark.... a load of drivel....................

'but he turned them down due to the fact they were made up of parts'

The truth is out lads, our cars are made out of parts , theres no flies on this bloke

[Stu C]

Im just baffled about this "pre facelift" front end malarky because they were using any old parts? Surley simply looking at the front of the car means it wont fit!

Another ebay goody.

I was looking for a 220 SDi before i went to uni, and found one on ebay. Bloke said wasnt a turbo. So asked a question on ebay saying "They are all turbo'd, but do you mean the intercooled, or non intercooled version?"

I ended up with abuse back, i was going to bid on it, and take a torch etc.. but its not worth the arseache, i just let it lie, was funny though when half the derv heads started e-mailing him afterwards.... every dog
