Muckin about on Autotrader(As you do) found this little surprise very close to home.
Saloon,look's like Firefrost Red & tidy Alcantara.
Mighty tempted to go see & maybe trade the ZS for a ZS

would help if anyone has background on it.

Love the write up.

I'll take a guess that the first owner was MGR, a lot of the late BX plates were cars they registered to themselves.

Yep, my one was.

Certainly don't recognise it but will go wi the two P's thoughts about it being ex MGR. Looks lovely, only question is beltage unless I missed it? Really nice though and I always recommend swapping/wrecking a ZS for another one

Went and looked at this & it was in such good nick I coulda pitched a trouser tent on the spot :-)
belts not done though but that didnt bother me if price for a trade in was worth taking a punt on
Took it out for a run & I was well chuffed with everything bout it
asked bout a trade in & got offered £750 for mine. Pahh !!
Thought I would give the guy some time & to call me if he could up the price for mine,,
crap idea that, went back yesterday & it's sold :-(
So stickin with what I got for now & treated it to Continental sports on all 4 corners & went for
215/40/17 to try something different, went round an empty industrial estate & turned quick & hard on wet (wide) corners. Big smiles & found a bit of the trouser tent pitchin for the ZS I already have.
Tyre guy showed me a real nasty big screw in rear tyre inside sidewall,, coulda been nasty a blowout.

Shame, but I always think there is a reason if you dont get it.

Dont know how the screws/nails always get in the sidewall, or the bit that they cant repair. Still lucky to find it when you did.

Sounds like let's go turbo

Old saying is "What's for you wont go bye you"
Was a nice 180 & who know's new buyer may turn up here.

Yip Screw was really strange for the spot & how deep it was, I do check my tyres prob bout every 4/5 wks & check pressure at same time, but honestly never checked insides before. lesson learnt
