Just bought a PZ

Post by Dave2112 »

So my Sunlight Silver RX8 has succumbed to the dreaded tin worm on the sills and some of the floor pan and although repairable, it was going to cost too much save. The MOT runs out on Tuesday and obviously won’t get through :(

So last night I travelled to Maidenhead to see Nick47P and bought an 06 PZ with 55,000 miles on the clock.
It needs a little cosmetic tidying, but seems solid throughout.

Yeah, quite a few Graham, I’ll basically strip the silver one, use what I want, then store everything else as spares.

Good work Dave. Glad another special edition is in the club. Get the rust on it dealt with quickly (I may have enquired myself Image). Mine looked like that PZ recently and now seems to be progressing. ☹️

I'll be doing something similar to you eventually I think.

Where was it posted for sale? An office move might mean mine is up for sale imminently so would be good to see and example of a successful advert!

eBay (as a classified) and Gumtree. eBay was the main source of enquiry though, I am not joking when I say I could sell it ten times over!

Sounds like it may be worth giving NeilParry a shout before you spend any money on advertising
