Wanted cheap ZS180

Currently on the hunt for a cheap ZS180 to turn into a track car

I do not mind a little work to be done on it, rather it was running where the v6 can be a sod to work on, if its on the road thats good but can always trailer it,

went to look at a ZR160 yesterday with my mate whos going halves on this with me but we both decided we do not trust the K series enough! ( owned enough to know what they can be like ) so next choice was the ZS 180

would ideally like a saloon, Yellow would be a bonus and as cheap as it can possibly be lol, Oh and not the other end of the country! ( Hampshire is where I am based )

Anyone know of anything, would consider paying a little more for one thats already track ready

Reckon this guy would take £700, as that's what it was up for a week earlier.

the V6 is far more reliable than the K series 1.8

The KV6 is far more solid than the Ke 16v, the 8v are quite good but who wants a 64bhp track car?

Shame you weren't looking a year ago, my mk1 was going for a song.

Suspiciously cheap cars usually have a good reason for being so cheap, but as the basis of a trackday car it might be ok.
