I've actually found a YELLOW ZT-T for sale!

The reason for the "Argh" is that there's no way I can have it...

Here it is....





Ad is listed here on Pistonheads, at Monty's of Penarth

Odd thing is, a Google search is not coming up with a web site for Monty's. In fact one search has a very recent comment saying "Closed down a year ago"...

This is looking good - twelve views and no comments, so obviously you lot don't like yellow, which in turn means less chance of it being snaffled!

All I need now is four grand.....

It's just that it's very, well, Yellow.....

A very rare car every photo i see of a car for sale by Monty's are always taken in front of the harbour.

Which is a good thing!

Do we know if they are still trading then, or if what I saw on Google is true?

Have to admit, I do like yellow cars.

Deffo no space on the drive though.....

Certainly an eye-catcher! Very unique and rare. The wheels have been re-coated in white too - looks a nice tidy car

Their stocklist on pistonheads does include a lot of MG/Rover vehicles including a V8 ZT-T.

Do like the look of the yellow ZT-T, but not sure SWMBO would go for it.

Hell's teeth, I am pining for this car.....

Need to raise money.............

Are those wheels really white plastic? ...

Hope so!

It's a bit, erm, yellow. But then I always did prefer the rather more discreet 75...

Hi !!

Monty Smiths is still trading, it's just down the road from where I work. I have not seen this one on the forecourt, but, they have quite a few nice cars including a BRG ZT-T 190 which they have dropped by £1000.

I will keep my eye out for this and post some pictures if it's about

I'm pretty sure there's a yellow ZT-T in Bicester. If I see it's up for sale, and you haven't already bought this one, I'll give you a shout.

Sure that the £3995 price tag is negotiable.

Just out of interest, how do they know there are only 5 trophy yellow ZT-T's? Would like to know how many are about in my colour.

Good point!

Fool that I am, I emailed about this!

I was getting narky, as they hadn't replied. Now they have! ARGH!

I suggested a p/x (don't tell Gill) and they say they might. Problem is, it makes no sense

• Car has done more miles than mine
• It's got air-con not climate control
• Not got electric seats like mine
• It's a 2.5 petrol not a diesel so the fuel costs would rocket

However, if I had it as an extra, hobby car, then some of these issues would not matter. In time I could add electric seats and maybe even an LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) conversion

BUT.... would it be easier and/or cheaper to find a ZT-T with all the toys that I wanted and just have it sprayed yellow?

HELP!!! Come on folks - "my name is Dave and I am addicted to yellow cars"

I didn't want to post negative comments about the car Dave, but TBH it is a base model
190 with average miles on for quite a high price IMHO.

I think I paid over the odds for mine 2-1/2 years ago at £1000 more for a 52 plate withe 38000 on with almost all the toys. Admitadly the paint work on mine doesn't sound to be in as good nick as this one though.

IMHO you should wait for another one.

Just found this one. Diesel, but not yellow though. Lots of cash too.

Next time I see that yellow ZT-T , I'll chaser after it.

Cheers for that!

Yes, I guess you are right about being a base model and not cheap. As said above, if I could get it as a third car (if I had the dosh!) then I'd be there like a shot, but not happy to trade in toys for looks! (and poorer economy...)

I guess the ideal for me to get my dream car would be to find a MK1 ZT-T with all the extras, and an LPG conversion, going for a song as it had poor paint, and then to get a yellow re-spray!!

Is this so stupid nobody thinks I'm serious, or such a good idea no-one thinks they need to tell me otherwise!

BTW, garage have said they'd give me £3000 for mine, sight unseen! This seems a good offer, as mine is about the same age, only has history to 23,000 or so - although it is diesel and has more toys than the yellow dream. Maybe my car is worth more than I think it is?!

BTW2, interesting that there's a few threads on t'other side about yellow Tourers (inc a recent "spotted" thread) but no-one seems to have picked up on this one!
