The xpg one is okay, just keeping it ticking over every week or so.

Oh things have changed a fair bit since I was last on here then. Didn't realise you had another one too, thought still just your original blue saloon.
Only saw briefly that you were undergoing some big arch mods..
Hope that all gets sorted soon for you then mate and works out well.
What spec is the xpg then as haven't seen that in a thread.

The original blue mk1 is still with me, not going anywhere. We have acquired one of the original site mk2 180s in xpg, was KevG's originally, then Gary, Jay, Dan . Too nice a one to pass up so the site owners have kept it. It needs a few little jobs doing but otherwise it will be kept clean and tidy.

Ah I see, sounds good there Mick. It is always nice to keep the good ones going of whatever brand being referred too.
Didn't think the Blue zed would ever leave you mate, not a chance.

Thought had found one that suited, did an mot history check which showed that two years ago failed it's mot badly due to underfloor corrosion on floor pan and chassis mounts
Being sold as an immaculately kept example with low miles. Can't argue with that but the way it's been phrased on its history leaves me a little doubtful about the overall condition and what may be trying to be hidden.
Was a nice looking pre project drive 5dr hatch..

I will keep yours in mind though as does look a straight example.
Where are you based?

I'm in Southampton so not too far from Essex. If you were interested and have an iPhone then potentially (4G signal availability allowing) we could try a FaceTime at the weekend so you could have a proper look around the car in daylight before considering a drive to see it (might help save time etc).

For what it's worth Craig having owned both, the only practical advantage I saw in the hatch was the ability to fold the seats and carry longer bits to the tip. The Mk2 boot is massive - seriously. I've found the saloon to be a better drive to be honest with better sound insulation over the hatch.
Your call ofcourse but if you're keeping the hatch 45 you have - any transporting of long bits and bobs could be done in that and save the ZS.
There's a guy selling a saloon via Gumtree who has pics of his on a camping trip - so there's an example of a guy using the saloon to it's full potential.
