The awful half arsed interior and jammed sunroof would be enough to discourage me from looking at it as anything but a project, but those "new" tyres look fucking ridiculous , presumably the proper size were too expensive, like doing the interior properly. Makes you wonder what's under the new paint. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-ZODIAC-MK4/202656909173?_trkparms=aid%3D333200%26algo%3DCOMP.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20171012094517%26meid%3D11210e6e3d7c4fcf879b204c155504af%26pid%3D100008%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D133058849098%26itm%3D202656909173&_trksid=p2047675.c100008.m2219 Oh God, they're awful, truly an awful abomination of a car, my dad had one he didn't die in it but I'm sure it took 10years off his life !!

Don’t get me wrong, I find him entertaining and I enjoy reading his columns. I met him once, he was warm and engaging. He was always my favourite Top Gear presenter in the good old days. When it comes to buying advice, I prefer listening to this chap. Solid gold words from the current Car Mechanics mag. I do get the impression that he buys up all of one random motor that he can find, wangs the price up by a couple of thousand then writes a column about it. You're right though, still a good read.

Back in August/September 2010 I almost bought a 2005 1.6 VVTi Sport 3 door for £4995. Actually seemed quite cheap at the time (wonder if I remember the price correctly of if it had a tough life).
