Those ZT are growing on me, has that place got any more at the price? They're still well more expensive in the trader, or the cheap ones don't have the nice wheels etc.

Last time I checked they had a couple of the Rover versions left still, and loads of FWD V6 ones (incl the tourer) but as far as I know, I got the last unregistered V8 ZT in the country.

Not fair realy - everyone should have one.

The roads would be a friendlier, faster, driftier place

Are the Rover ones same power etc.?

Loads of class IMO. Bit boring in Rover guise but pipe and slippers is better than young and brash.

Yeah, exactly the same engine Ian - most were autos with the Rover trim though.

Well mine was half price (15k), so less than that I would have thought.

When I was last at the dealer, they had a lovely dark pearl blue/purple ZS 180 (with black leather) which is the small 4 door hatchback with the 2.5 V6 in it.

It was the new facelifted one with the vents in the front wings and was realy pretty.

It was fully loaded and brand spanking (unregistered)

List price - just over 20k - yours for £11,795.00 - unbelievable

when i had my old corsa i used to have a 4dr nova 1.2 merit saloon as a runaround. used to screw the absolute tits out of all 4 gears in it

girls used to be really bewildered when they knew i had a decent car but i would pick them up on for dates in the nova

it was thus nicknamed "the nova of love"
