Hurrah!
 
Well, after being ZS-less for the last three months, a couple of weeks ago we were browsing the NZ auction site, looking for a ZS (or, at a pinch, a ZR) to use as alternative baby transport to the ZT V8. Got a bit stuck and couldn't remember my alphabet properly and ended up with this:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=746022138

Then last Sunday we worked out the proper order letters are meant to go in and went to view a ZS. MK1 180 saloon in XPG, it's only done 75k km but it's not worn those miles well. It also hasn't had the belts changed and has a rattly inlet manifold so those will have to be dealt to straight away. Unfortunately/fortunately, I'm starting a new job on Monday and won't be working at Dad's workshop any more, so will have to pay one of our mechanics to do it instead.

Anyway, no pics yet as it's still on the way up from Hamilton, but happy enough. It's not as good as the car we had in Germany but there is not a lot of option - it's the first ZS to come up for sale in NZ since we got back in April.
