    Good Afternoon all,

    Picked my ZT 260 Standard spec up last week.

    Have been looking for one for a while and when one came up locally I couldn't resist.

    it's number 231 I believe - any one who knows anything about the car please get in touch.

    It's registered here in the IOM as a 2007 - but I guess that it might be older in origin? the car is black and has 44,000 miles.

    Thanks

    Toby

    My registration docs say the car was first registered in 2007, is this possible?

    I did a few laps over the mountain in the 260 yesterday, you'll be pleased to know she was overtaking bikers for fun on the closed course!

    If you guys are coming over to the IOM again give me a shout for sure.

    The 260 went a lot better over the mountain than I thought possible, some guy in a P1 was getting very cross at the fact that try whatever he could (and I was well over to the left and out of the way) there wasn't enough top end for him to get past me..... I'm guessing my wall of torque helped.

    Hey Simon, I'll be there, the Zeros are much better!
