Glad you're enjoying it. I bought a new toy today. News to follow later

Ah! The nutter, he sold it! How could you?

It's an absolutely stunning car. I fell on my knees when I saw it back in 2008, on my way to Silverstone.
I'm currently on the lookout for a pristine, low mileage one, possibly to convert to LHD, since some drunk demolished my MkII two days ago. ZS 180's are rare as hen's teeth on the continent and mine only had 27000 miles...

That is a shame, were you or are you able to salvage anything from it?

I think the new toy is:-

SV development car that was on ebay, a bit back, your going to fit the engine and wire it up and use it as a track day toy.

I know for sure that it's a write-off: the passenger side wheel has been torn away... Hell, even the rear bench is bent!

But on a positive side, I've just rented a nice, big workshop where I will be able to take it apart and store the parts (together with all the parts i still have in stock: engine, cylinder heads, X-Power spring kit, Quaife diff, etc.).
So right now I'm looking either for a good, low mileage example on the continent or a RHD one, which I could convert to LHD (if I can find the time). It just has to be the right colour.

Pictures will follow in a separate thread as soon as i have the guts to approach the car and have a long last look at it without shedding a tear...

I just wondered if you were allowed to salvage anything, I have heard stories of some countries that will condem some cars and not allow any parts to be removed.

Let us know when you've got it and I'll pop over and have a look - whatever it is!
