Thanks Timmo , got a few things to do when weather picks up nothing serious as it is a really nice car , I was very lucky to come across it and consider myself very lucky to find a nice one as there really aren't many left , Mark
The colour in the literature that came with the car says emerald green , I did think it was triton myself , the paintwork has a lovely metallic flake In it and when polished looks fantastic , it will be getting a full machine polish when the weather gets better and a small amount of paintwork , I will also be taking all the bodykit off and giving it a good clean behind/underneath before refitting , might see some of you at some shows etc in the coming year , thanks for the comments they are much appreciated , Mark
Bar the odd change to some bits and bobs that would take place over the years since these were made, I still think the ZX had pretty modern lines for it's era. Nice car.
Prefer it to the Lamborghini, like Signor Gandini!
I must admit they do look quite eye catching in White , I think it's been up for sale a while too so it might be got for a better price ? Are you tempted Mike ???? Go on ,
Over on the Zx16v net forum someone recently bought one the same colour as mine and it looks in nice order for £150 yes £150 I can't believe it myself , it had a short Mot/tax but at that price you can't go wrong , I know they are doing quite a bit of work on it , clutch , heater matrix , steering rack rebuilt etc , I think they plan on taking it on a few track days when it's sorted , Mark
Here's one that was for sale a couple of years ago , 2 lady owners , looks very nice , the price £250 , I did ring for it at the time but it had gone , .

And if the figures are right there are only 34 examples left in the Uk ! I've bought mine for the love of owning one of these fantastic cars but what with the dwindling numbers you would have thought even a non runner/project would fetch decent money , I mean the one above at £150 this would make a fantastic daily driver , fortunatly I have got a Citroen dispatch van for everyday and the Zx does very minimal mileage , I am always very careful when I take it out as trying to replace/get parts for it should anything happen would be a nightmare , one thing I do know is when I take it out it puts a HUGE smile on my face it's that much fun to drive , come on some of you Bx boys buy these up while there's still a few around I mean a Bx valver and a Zx16v what more would you want ?
