Looks fairly mint, shiny isn't it?
Are you sure you don't want another BX or a CX or somesuch instead?

Wow, I aint never seen a black one with such good bady work and paint job. Are you sure you aint done one of those computer body shop jobs? trying to impress us all?
Only joking it looks great, makes me want another old ZX, but the wife & impending baby say NO!.

Wife (with inpending baby) & child say yes - thank [deity of choice] it works, doesnt groan or squeak and clunk when being driven and doesnt need starting with my booster pack.
It even came with Tax & Mot till next year and 1/2 a tank of diesel.
£600![:D]

BLACK[?] I thought it was a green one. Oh, if it's black is more than likely an Ex private hire from BlackTax in Blackpool. So that will be 246,000 miles then........[:0][}:)][;)][:o)][B)]

'ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ' very unkind of me - Precious (wife's zx 1.9D) will probaly expire on me tomorrow!
You know all about them Marty - but for those who don't they are a seriously good car - drive nicely, are extremely reliable and don't burn much fuel!
But I prefer my BX TD Estate even though its done about 130,000 miles more!

Yep for the brief time I had Vera (my Tizzy Dee) in my life and it was on the road it was more fun, more comfortable and more paractical. Sadly it was just so bloody unreliable - and I need boring reliability in my work hack.

Nice. I can't say I've seen many black ZXs.
Is that a dent on the bonnet, or is my monitor dirty? Still, for 600 quid you can't complain.
Enjoy

Nahh - reflection of the light - there is a dint by the NS indicator (new lamp) and a couple of small parking dints in the drivers door, but I do mean small compared with my 2000 Xantia even, the bodywork is in superb condition.

For £600 you simply can't get a better buy. [^] Nice one Marty.. [:)]
It is very shiny indeed isn't it Marty? [8)] [:D] Must be quite the shiniest one I have seen.. [;)] [:D] please promise never to park it next to my road salt grey one ok.. lol..
Black always looks classy.. [^] and personaly I love the 1.9D ZX think its the bees knees.. "Basic" spec means less problems in my book. It has power steering so what more do you need, its a brilliant lil car.. Your transport problems should now be over Marty... [^]
Do I want an AX? .. hmm ...... my reply will be written on a piece of paper and handed to the clerk of the court. [;)] [:o)] [8)] [:D]
I await Stewart posting pics and spec of his new Xantia.. [:)]

Not wanting to rub salt in James - you know you were after a rubber mat for the dash - guess what my ZX came with.......

I thinks we need another meet soon - Mike (P) seems to be back on his feet again and Im sure Stewart & Vanny can be coerced - possibly even Mr. B too. Suppose best wait till August is out though and all the jollies are done with.
Thanks for the mails - will give them a ring.
