On reading Stephen's post about his specific requirements in his search for a 180, it reminded me of my list of requirements I put up a couple of months ago compared to what I got...

MK1 ZS 180 Saloon tick
Colour preferably black or yellow but open to all black
Belts must be done 4,500 miles ago!
Mileage up to 75k 10k over but belts recent
Standard ok, decent exhaust/induction better (no cone in bay!) no induction, standard exhaust but decat (will address exhaust soon)
Tyres/brakes decent to race til December minimum (3-4 track days) tick (Avon's all round)
MOT/tax minimum 6 months MOT November/Tax January (A compromise I guess for the cost)
Distance no problem Bloody miles away
No VIS/Plenum/Manifold issues!!! maybe vis but no plenum rattle
Average bodywork condition (no big dents/rust [dings ok]) really good, scuff on sideskirt but perfect alloys
No rips on interior, wear and tear ok tick
?1,000 to spend roughly ?795 plus recovery but should plan better!

All in all pretty close match all in all!
