ZS numbers for sale.

[Dan1971]

Only 47 for sale on the bay of E.... I remember posting ages ago when the numbers dropped to under 100.

Availability of these cars is getting to a stage where I might actually start agreeing with seller comments like "rarely available" .... Especially if a potential buyer was looking for a decent Mk2.

Having just struggled to find a decent Mk2 with 180 kit (diesel) I'll agree with you - not too many about now!

there's plenty of half-heads about who think they'll make more money breaking them, but after a few weeks, once the easy stuff has sold like the wheels and alcantara, they soon realise scrap is 60quid per ton and its not worth the effort then sell the part stripped car for a couple of hundred.
Sad really.

But when you cant sell a mk2 ZS with full 180 kit, 11 spokes, saloon extreme spoiler modified for hatch, rear head rests, dvd player with a broken engine for £500 why wouldn't you sell parts and scrap?

When they all gone, then I can say "told you so, should have kept it"

Stick a 1.4 in and sell it to the paddys! There's a firefrost ZS identical to mine, but with double the mileage just gone up for sale in my neighborhood for 3000€ (£2350). Interested to see if it sells at the price.. There can't be more than a couple dozen left over here.

I have also noticed the decline. However this time of year we can't be reading too much into the numbers. Pistonheads only having 2 and Autotrader 59 still seems lower than it used to be.

There are a few for sale on Facebook too. Seems to be more popular as its free.

Yeah, my Dad and Grandad told me the same thing. The likes of their Montego Turbo, Metro Turbo, Dolly Sprint, endless variations of the Mini have all gone now.

I won't be making the same mistake.
