The Zed is Dead !

[hawker1986]

Hi all,

 

Sad times for us as our Zed has been in a horrible accident. The Mrs was driving to work and the long and the short of the story is that a van did a U-turn in front of her on a NSL road not knowing her and another car were there and (entirely legally and appropriately) overtaking him as he slowed down. Insurance are still messing about over liability but it wasn't her fault. The main thing is that she walked away fine bar some minor cuts and bruises. This is what the car looked like in the end:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Obviously the car has been written off!

 

I have to extend massive thanks to Andy and Mitz at CS, who allowed us to recover the car to them and sourced some alternate wheels and tyres so we could keep our rays with recent MPSS all around, and a stock exhaust to replace our now retrieved Miltek system. Also for your sound advice throughout this process which we have never been through before.

 

We are obviously sad to lose the car that we cherished, but we will not be gone for long, we are on the hunt for a nice low mileage HR instead. If anyone knows of one please let me know.

 

Goodbye Zed

Really sorry to see your Zed like that Ed ~ never nice but just really glad your Mrs wasn't hurt too much.

 

Good luck with the hunt for a new Zed.

Dude seriously sorry to hear this news but as you said no one hurt is the main thing. Just hope you manage to find a nice Hr!

So sad to see a cherished car ending up like this - but glad everyone was okay.

 

Hope you find a great replacement soon.

Gutted for you, least no one hurt though.

[HoundDog]

Such a shame and feel your pain. Least the mrs is ok though.

Absolutely gutted to see this and see a Zed in such a sorry state. But very thankful that your partner is okay and was able to walk away.

 

Hope the insurance Co. come to the right decision and we'll all soon be congratulating you on your new HR purchase.

Sorry to hear about your car and good to hear your missus is ok.

 

Its a heavy car but I've always thought of it being a solid car. I would much rather have a wack in my Zed than my old Mk1 Micra.

Sad to see .... But very glad to hear everyone is ok .... If a tad shaken up from it I expect

 

On a better note , there was a zed for sale at " simply jap" show on Sunday

 

... Night blue , frost leather , 57 plate HR , 45-47k ( can't remember) sat nav £9950 , there's a pic of it on here from the show.

Thanks everyone for your kind words, as said by you all the important thing is that she walked away without any serious problems .

Sorry to read your bad news, the positive side is your Mrs is ok and that is the most important of all.. Heres hoping that you get a speedy insurance settlement and back in the world of Zed asap..

[sipar69]

Poor Z. Glad your other half is doing ok. I'm sure you'll be back in a Z soon.

[Rock_Steady]

so sorry to see this. Main thing is your wife is walking and talking. Hope the insurance sorts itself out and goes smoothly.

RIP the Z ???

man this is just 2 depo headlights 1 used bonet the radiators and some fiber parts, add a paint job and its all done.

 

[hawker1986]

Actually it's 2 airbags, bumper, both wings, headlights, bonnet, rad and mountings as well as everything around that and then possible damage to the engine where the rad was rammed into it. And then the loss incurred when you come to sell it after it's been written off, didn't seem worthwhile. I would have bought the car back to break it if I had somewhere to dump it but I don't

Feel your pain.....happened to me admittedly years ago with a straight 6 Zephyr beutiful car rolled it but it only had superficial scrapes and two front wings where she dug in, had no where to put her so watched her towed away ...4 days later she was picked clean all I git back was a carrier bag of tapes.....
