Would you expect ...
The mk2 180 @ Harrogate is being sold by Marc Nordon Racing
When I emailed some questions ...... I was told no service history lost when moved house, no knowledge of cam belt change, no know faults as used by missus etc etc ... sound reasonable for a a company that claims ... Welcome to MNR LTD
From Our rural location in North Yorkshire, we design, manufacture, and build a range of exciting Sportscars designed for the road and track. With a host of machinery at our disposal we also design and manufacture many one off / batch coponents, and rapid prototypes. Please see our services menu for more information

interior is a bit gash... but if it ticks your boxes and seems ok then the zs isnt a bad chassis looked after or abused.

Sounds like he just doesn't want to bring his work home with him, which is fair enough. Don't expect it to be a pampered race car though from the sounds of it.

Been today ...... 1st time in a ZED, so nowt to compare with .....
o
good -seemed to drive well ...... no knocks etc
body looked ok, but had not been cleaned so not so easy to tell
not so good -
absolutely no history ... no v5 to hand
looks like something small/metallic but heavy has been dropped on the roof, as the dints have deeply scratched the paint, down to the metal ..... so guess dint man/fill + paint
water in the spare wheel well
nearside passenger door handle comes away from the door
water ingress in the front fogs
all wheels are kerbed
badges are peeling
owner did not show much enthusiasm, told me the car is barely used etc, so I guess this would be reflected in the "looked after" stakes
Question:should the doors shut with a gentle push, as I had to bang them to shut

water is a problem, but should be help on here, rubbers on the lights, boot seals etc.
Handles are know to pull away from the fixings, scrap yard or plastic weld stuff
new fogs
common fault with the MK2 wheels, mine were all stuffed and I've not helped.
Badges all seem to fade, Dazzer is doing replacement ones.
Doors do need a bit of a bang but not excessive.
Belts £500 odd
roof £200/300 odd.
Was the clutch OK??
