It looks a good car, if I was in the market for one I'd probably pay close to his asking price, cat c or not, as we know insurance will write off mk2's if a bird craps on them.

It's a Black Oak interior as well.

very very true. A mate of mine almost had his ZR written off because some yob knocked a wing mirror off!

Insurance companies aren't interested in fixing older cars these days... it's all a bit sad

auction ended, not too sure if id want a write off tbh, i know they get written off for nothing these days ( my zr got written off for a front bumper) so i know this, but you dont know whats lurking underneath ect.

thanks for the link though, so hard finding a nice 1, been to look a 2 and were both propa sheds :(

Wasn't ZRed selling a grey mk2 1.6? Not sure if that's the right power wise but it looked a lovely car.

at this moment in time id take a 1.6 then just drop a 1.8 engine in when HG GOES :thumbsup:

really didnt think it would be so hard to find one, back when i had zr's there were loads of these mk2 with 180 kits about

Sure you don't want a 180 there's an xpg one with some good mods and the guy only wants a bout £1k!
I had to wait for mine and it has its problems but ill sort them! I think they're easier to find with legit 180 engines in them.

running costs put me off, plus i know where i am with a k series.

Apart from petrol and calipers mine have both together been cheaper than the ZR! (Head gasket twice, waterpump x3 IMG x2)
Even both insurances on the 180's is only £200 more than the ZR 1.4!
Good luck with the hunt though. Check out the site trader ZRed in the traders section it's in there.

I'm a bit biased as mine is the 1k one everyone is on about, but let me give you some examples of MPG

I get

V6 180 = 24 MPG, driven normally
1.8T ZT = 27 driven normally
1.8 VVC TF = 30 driven normally

See what I mean about fuel costs, they isn't much in it (it does depend on your daily mileage though). In terms of insurance, the 180 ZS is much cheaper than the ZR's, due to the older "clientele" that normally drive them.

Just look around and offset the cost of buying to the cost of ownership, I think you will find it all pretty much the much.

My average MPG seems to be a tad higher than that driven harder than "normal".

Granted only over three tanks so far but not a bad indication.

It's called road trip.
I paid for the app but there is a free version also.
Pretty good and can track multiple vehicles and even give prompts for servicing/MOT/Tax/insurance.
