How old are you John if you don't mind me asking...

I'm 24 and expect insurance to be around £600 - £700 but I got that quote at the age of 23......3 months before I turned 24.

Are you after a mk 2 ZS then??? I know there are a few mk1 ZS' kicking about in Trophy Yellow.....

im 21 in december. Ive just sold my zr120.

Yes its gotta be a mk2. Dont want a mk1 i'd sooner not bother. I'm quite happy to wait until next year.

Failing this its gonna have to be an astra sporthatch 1.8 petrol or 1.9 cdti.

For some reason the vauxhalls work out to be loads less on insurance than the mgs.

High bid was £1,950 and it didn't reach the reserve! Okay, there are still two more options on my list. Anyone know of any other really cheap ZSs?

Is this for some sort of secret project car Ralph? Have you tried SMC?

Its not a particular secret that I have a 2.0litre supercharged engine looking for a home. I bought the engine with the intention of fitting it to the Twilight ZS, but found that I would have to lose the ATC - a luxury I wasn't prepared to sacrifice. Now I'm looking for a donor car to fit the engine to.

I'm sure one will turn up soon Ralph. Someone must have a ZS which is slightly tatty.

The way I look at it is this........a car with a running engine and good bodywork is likely to sell for £2500.......a car however with a dead engine should be sub £2000....same goes for one with very shoddy paintwork or the like.

Its getting the Bittersweet sold thats the biggest factor.

Oi Oi Ralph

No such luck with your search mate..........yet again all the cars going for £3000 mark.

Have you updated your car sale advert on Piston Heads?? If you get one sold you have enough money to buy any good car in excellent condition.

Might come and see you tomorrow even though isn't there. Probably going to swap my van wheels over first though if its not raining hard.
