Sold as p/ex so thread can now be closed

Now £5495 and much lower and I guess I will have to pay someone to take it off my hands

Genuinely cannot believe how difficult this is proving to move on to a new owner, looking at autotrader it would seem the only way to sell is to practically give it away so thats what I will have to do! £5995 and pains me to do this!

One and only reduction to £6495 - considering you wont need to spend a penny on it for quite some time has to be a bargain?! Now on autotrader

A little bump for this cracking little car, perfect for sunny bank holiday weekends

Sadly, and despite all my best instincts I need to find a new home for my almost untouched/unmodified 350 convertible with original unmarked 18" Rays. Whoever takes this one home will be getting a very lovingly cared for car, since I have owned it (approx 5 years) it has had a brand new mohair roof, full service of the roof mechanism, a milltek stainless steel exhaust, brand new oem gear knob, a colour matched Royal Leather steering wheel, carbon effect dipped door window covers, compression arm replacements (gearbox oil and replacement plugs also done at the time, new tyres (less than 1k on front and around 2 on rear plus 2x spare michelin pilot sports with approx 5mm tread to replace the rears when required. Sly at Kaizer has looked after this and confirmed everything is in perfect working order a P3 was done last year along with brake fluid, replacement slave cylinder and clutch line and full wheel alignment so only an oil change/filter required this year which I am happy to get done as was going to wait till MOT (Aug) but happy to do if asking price paid should this be required. Other than black door handles, zunsport grill, clear reflectors at the front and black badges (which probably do need to be freshened up now) the Zed is essentially unmodified, ICE has of course been upgraded to a Pioneer bluetooth unit with a reversing camera for good measure to avoid any nasty incidents! I would only point out a tiny little mark on the rear bumper under paintwork (approx 15mm) and a some small marks on the dash where a phone holder rubbed under the dash but otherwise I would describe as top end of excellent condition all round. Service history is as follows: P1 9340miles 22/9/06 P2 17557 12/3/07 P1 27866 28/9/07 P3 39024 06/06/08 P1 45503 11/811/08 M1 50018 18/5/09 P2 56958 16/6/10 Full 66853 27/10/11 Full 81567 31/07/13 I bought it here: Kaizer P1 plus Compresion Arms, Brake discs and Pads, and others mentioned 90127 25/4/14, also in 2014 Brake Fluid and New Battery Local Indi P1 91835 04/08/15 Local Indi P1 93454 08/04/16 Kaizer P3 94319 04/04/17 Bucketloads of paperwork as you would expect, original service book and lots of MOTs to validate all mileage, only ever run on Shell v-power since I bought it and as you can see only covered around 4.5k miles in 3 years since. Some summer photos and some taken to show updates inside, any questions welcome and of course test drive fine (me driving unless full payment up front of course!) Car is based just south of Canterbury (CT3) in Kent. Looking for £7750 (now reduced to £5995) and bear in mind £850 for a new roof and £500 for the new arms plus 2 replacement Michelin rears I would say a pretty reasonable asking?

Having just picked up my beloved Z from the garage for its MOT I realised on looking at the previous MOT mileage how ridiculously few miles I am doing each year and despite lavishing yearly check ups and keeping everything in top condition how much I must be spending per mile of driving pleasure and whether it might be time to say goodbye to the Zed? To put some perspective I have driven 1800 miles in year one of ownership, 1450 in year two, 711 in year 3 and since the last MOT a grand total of 806 miles which seems utterly crazy even though I know I only use the car on great weather days (with the top down) and generally for 'shorter' journeys on summer evenings. I thought I would seek some opinions on whether I am the only one using my car so little or whether it really doesn't matter and I should keep enjoying her for the reasons I bought in the first place ie as a summer runabout only. I know only I know the answer but still interested on others' perspective?

These are mine in my GT, as mentioned heated/electric, as you say only as an option on the roadster I believe Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

If you have advised your insurance company already then i hate to say it but i suspect if you drive it on the old plate you are technically not insured, also ANPR will flag you as the old plate is no longer the registered plate for that vehicle/insurance combination. If you hadnt told the insurance company you would be fine as I believe you are ok for a few days to get new plates made up and put on. The conditions of applying to put the plate on the vehicle online do state: "Your registration number will be put on a vehicle straight away if you apply online." Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Close! P3 and slave £470 Tax £285 Tyres x2 £200 Insurance £210 £1155 total Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Actually you are right it was just over £1100 in total (and only 6 months tax as it goes SORN for the winter) but I can't spin it anyway to sound like a bargain I did find the thread on repainting the existing ones but honestly diy is not for me and I would likely make a very bad mess! I will do as you suggest re the PMs as looking around trying to find 'new' spare arms seems difficult in the UK, ironically for around £50 I could get both arms from the US but suspect that option wouldn't work on a UK spec car!

Having spent a small fortune on my zed this week with a P3, slave cylinder replacement, new tyres and tax/insurance all clocking in around £1k in total which hurt a lot!! I realised that there is still a niggle that I have been meaning to sort for 3 years now which is to replace the wipers which have started to look very poorly with rust bubbles almost breaking through the paint now. I wouldn't know where to start but am guessing this is not an easy fix and being completely mechanically incompetent it is something I will need a garage etc. to do the actual work assuming it's even possible to obtain new wipers? Any advice or thoughts on potential costs and grief involved in sorting this issue? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I do, and did today! Just not frequently enough if I consider the potential depreciation whilst sat on the drive, the tax, insurance and service costs which make me ask the question about keep or sell!
