Yep just confirming this is definitely my car, and enjoying every minute of owning it
Max replied to your PM. Can you tell me any more about the cars history, and how did you know about it being recovered to PriceWaterHouseCooper? Were you there when it was recovered and what was the reason?
It got taken as part of the stock list (every thing on the fourcourt and showroom inc the 75 v8 limo and sv) for the recivers (Price Waterhouse Coopers) when we folded as by then our garage had been taken over by Phoenix, I was collecting my tools at the time
As i said in pm car was pdi checked at New Banbury Rover as a demo for our boss Steve Alexander and on its second tank of fuel the fuel filter housing/pump assy cracked so a new one was fitted.
After we moved to oxford (then named Alexance) I went on the course for x power cars and v8,s so i looked after it from then in.
After a salesman had a slight bump into a kerb (no body damage at all very minor) on the nsf i fitted a new strut and lower arm then did the full 4wa on our new shiny set up
every thing was out on it and after 4 hours on the rig every box was green and drove soo much better than it ever had.
Then a dopey customer jumped in the pass seat for a test drive with his keys in his back pocket (who does that??????) and holed the pass seat cover so that needed re trimming.
was around this time i was looking into buying it
i was going to pay £17k plus my zs180 in px (so £23k all in) and as stated above was due to sign the finance papers the day we got laid off hence my zt260 never became mine
so i only know its history up to its first birthday (approx) and it had only done 1800 miles or so last time i drove it
Glad she has found a loving owner and if you ever decide to sell please let me know!!!
Rob
interesting history.
would be nice if one day it became yours. Sort of gone full circle then!!
