I agree, it seems an odd way to do it, especially as he bought the 420 shell as an unfinished project.

Im going to go and have a look at this over the weekend hopefully. Its 5 mins away from me. Looks decent from the pics but no doubt has many hidden secrets.
Looks like its still on standard shocks and 400 lowering springs thats why the rears high. looks like its got vented 262's on the front also will be using the 420 steering rack roll bars ect ect. So it will probably handle nothing like a zs.
Il give you all the info as soon as ive seen it. Im tempted by it as i only do low mileage per year but id probably be better off with a decent 180 depending on the price hes after.

He doesn't mention anything about swapping any of the suspension off the zs that provided the kit and interior.

At the right price it's probably a good buy.

The way I read it was that he'd done the T16 conversion when he decided to do the body kit.

This way should help keep car tax down.

What's it worth then ?

Personally, Id have been more tempted if it had just stayed as an apparently old knackered Rover .... sleeper style like the green one Bandit was selling a while back.

1250 for a respray seems cheap.......
