Its worth more than £2000. But nearly £7000 is way ott.
Rare colour, virtually unused since new, condition should be almost perfect, pre-Project Drive.
Although its going to cost a small fortune to get it on the road. Twelve months tax, MOT (provided it passes), the cambelts and a full service: doubt you would see much change from £900.

I think at that mileage it would be worth taking a risk with the cambelts, dont think id bother.

i drive past hursely hill a lot - it is owned by SMG i am pretty sure, as it was an MGR dealer as well but is now something else (but still has SMG sign or flag or something out there)

I can't believe that either of these two grages are still in business at the value they put on the cars... I told SMG that they were ahving a laugh at the price if they thought people would want them.

they had some massively late registered cars that they had put a 5k premium on the same mileage cars that were pre-registered.... even though neither of them had gone more than a few hundred miles!

Needless to say i never trusted SMG with the ZS even for servicing, but it is my nearest Xpart dealer so i have had to use them from time to time!

Be interesting to take it for a test drive, bet the discs and calipers look like they've been at the bottom of the sea for the last 10 years.

Holy.... Efffing..... ****!!!
It's a nice looking car but Jesus it isn't worth that!

A 75 tourer on there for £8k

£14k for a ZT190
No wonder they aren't shifting.
Yes they are unregistered but that doesn't mean they are a new car.
If they dropped the prices to a more reasonable figure they'd get snapped up!
