Not the most extensive advert, but does anyone know this car or have any thoughts on it?

 

Cheers

I'm sure someone went to have a look at that car in the last few months and said it was nowhere near as clean or solid as it was made out to be...

 

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty certain it was that one.

Seems to be the norm unfortunately, I've seen a few now and every single one is nowhere near as described. I've not seen that one personally though.

Yeah, but you want a 500+ bhp, super clean and rust-free one for beer money! ;)

 

The pretty simple fact now for buying Zeds is this: the good ones (and I mean the really good ones that have been well looked after) are going to cost good money, not a couple of £k.

 

Sad for potential buyers, good for the Z32 as a marque :)

Its been for sale for ages as I was going to look at it just before I bought my current Zed. Suspect it is not as described otherwise it would have gone by now.

Surprised it's still for sale so it must have issues.

This was my thinking as saw the advert back in January, I feel it's going to be a long hunt for a good one and my £4k budget seems to be right in the middle of half decent ones and the good ones.

I've been looking at standard ones in the 3-4k ballpark too. Every single one has been an absolute nail.

One lovingly restored rust free car:

 

With new sills just last year:

 

Plenty of other issues too, and that was up at 3.5k.

I know its not a turbo but this looks very clean.

Looks tidy but it's, but it's in Belfast. :(

 

I might end up having to get an NA and drop the TT lump in at this rate though. Every TT I've seen under 4k so far has been fit only for breaking.

Yea its in Ballclare so about 30 miles from me but I have never seen it at any of the shows in my area. Wish I still had my black Z

The speedo shows up to 120mph is this normal for an NA?

That black one has been advertised since last November when I was first looking. Someone did have a close look at the pics and spotted rust in the engine bay etc on another thread somewhere...

I'd guess it's a 180kmh speedo with an mph face fitted instead. Means it's not been converted, so the mileage will likely still be in km.

Are you sure its the same one?

They're both black cars mate, I'd guess he's talking about the first one. :)
