Hello,

 

I'm wondering if anyone in the Burnley area would be willing to come with me to look at a car...?

 

It's a '98 zed.

 

I have limited knowledge about looking at a mechanically sound car anyway, never mind what I should be looking for on a zed.

 

I'd appreciate any help :-)

 

I'll be looking to come down one Saturday (maybe Sunday) this month.

 

Thanks :-) :thumbup1:

See bacon butties in Todmorden thread, there will be a few of us there on Sunday 28th July, maybe the seller would let you fetch it over, or he/she could bring you over and we could give it the once over for you.

I'm sure someone from the area could help out, if not give a shout when your ready and I could arrange something

That's quite convenient actually I'll put it to him when I next speak to him

Cheers mate, hopefully that meet will be ok for him

Doesn't phutumsch live in burnley?

Yep, he will probably be with us on the 28th.

What time is it scheduled for roughly? I couldn't see a time ln the thread

I think it will be around the same time as the last one, which was 10:00am onwards.

Oooo thats a esrly morning kick off!

I'll have a word with him and my dad, but it should be alright from our end.

If he says no he might have something to hide

We were there until gone 2:00pm last meet. Yeah if he has something to hide he could say no.

So where abouts is the meet, is it a house or a pub or something

Wow I really have started something with this meeting, butties, chat and now car appraisal. No worries you are all welcome.

Just two large lay bys and a catering van. Plenty of parking space.

Cool.

What's the post code so I can suggest it to the seller?

Ian Greenfield will be able to let you know., he will have read this..

Don't know the postcode but if you google "SHAW WOOD TODMORDEN" and look above the wood itself onto the A646 you can see the layby in question and if you zoom in you can actually see the butty van !!!.

so basically its about a mile out of Todmorden on the A646 road towards Halifax / Hebden Bridge.

Not many 98 zeds kicking about. It may already be known on the forum.

I'm not sure, it's apparently a fresh import and not been driven on UK roads.

 

On that note I wonder if he will drive down

I still don't like the sound of it. I still don't know if its a 98 as it didn't look like it to me but I could always be wrong.

 

I can't see him bringing a car that's never been on a uk road out to a meet to have experts look over it for a couple of reasons:

1 - people might pull holes in it

2 - it's never been on a uk road so why would he now put it on one? Plus he won't know how it runs or drives since its never been out,

 

Like I said mate I just don't believe it for some reason. You should think about sharing the advert to see what people think. It might just be me that has alarm bells. It's got a kit on so I don't know, 89 spec spoiler and having said its not been on a uk road, the picture on the advert it just off a road! Granted it looks like a rural area.

I know what you mean...

 

What does everyone think?

 

And it won't be to everyone's taste but the child in me loves lambo doors

And does anyone recognise it?

Might b worth considering a car from on here given your budget. Sir Charles slick too is nice and paulC's looks nice too.

 

I meant to put the add up so the members on here could tell you what they think as to whether its a 98 and whether it looks good. Don't know why I think something isn't right but I'm sure there's someone on here that can check the manufacture date from the chassis number. Or there use to be anyway

Yeah I noticed Sir Charles' before, that's a nice looking example with a good amount of history

 

Haha I don't even know my budget yet it will very much depend in what is out there really.

 

I think I should add that I saw this advert on ebay about a year ago but it disappeared for about 6 months...

Yeah was definately up for sale before. If you like red cars I personally like the looks of nezzi's. new shiny paint too

I'm a sucker for lambo doors haha

aye that's a nice one again low miles and good history but for my taste it would need a new interior retrim and exhaust system for starters. I dunno if I'll have the cash flow to do that immediately

Looks nice but I would check everything out on it
