mdunbar Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 After a few failed attempts, I finally found the Zed for me. A standard UK car with GT pack - the only after market part is the Invidia exhaust... jury is still out on that one... Car has been stood a while, but well looked after. Needs a good service and new brake pads and discs. Is 12 years old, but only done 16k miles. I bypassed this one on my initial search as the seller was, in my opinion, over ambitious with the asking price... it is always hard to value a special car like this though I suppose... anyway, I tried my luck and he proved willing to negotiate. Odd thing is, it is exactly the same as the car I bought new in 2004 and sold in 2006 - a year older but same spec, colour and mileage. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9TzG4SWiCpISFVJck5JUkl6ZTg I'll get some more photos after it gets pampered tomorrow. This is just a quickie on a service station stop off on the way home today. Well happy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juggalo Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Rubber perishes when it's "stood for a while", which is one of the reasons I don't put exceptional value in 'barn finds' with 'low mileage' - unless it's a rare car; they usually need a lot of seals and bushes replacing, an in some cases, a complete engine rebuild. I'd have it thoroughly checked out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When engines were made of rubber and had to be replaced when left for a while! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogman Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Congrats mate. Invidia is a nice system, you should be happy with that looks smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdunbar Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Congrats mate. Invidia is a nice system, you should be happy with that looks smart. Yeah, I'm actually warming to it. Thought it was a tad bit loud at first but it isn't annoyingly loud unless you want it to be with your right foot that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
