ZX needing saved - Paisley, Scotland

[GregZX]

There’s a ZX here at Abbey Car Breakers in Paisley urgently needing saved. I’d take it but lack of funds and possible divorce are stopping me. I’ve been down for a look and It’s in really good condition (total lack of rust in the usual places) going by a cursory inspection, belonged to an old guy and his son sent it to the scrappy.  Details below. (I’ve been told £650 would secure it). It’s in danger of being scrapped or sold to an Uber Eats driver.

Clean MOT until next June too!

Why must I be up in Aberdeenshire for the week?!

Somebody GIB!

I’m trying to get the funds. It still has a towing eye cover that had to stop myself from stealing.

Abbey are literally five minutes from my house and I have never seen that ZX cutting about Paisley.

Absolutely would but I'm potless and without space.

I’m now cursing my Moral values. 
 

Should have nicked the towing eye cover

Get it and you can take the towing eye cover and I can have the engine?

Would be great for the 305 but its alot for just wanting the engine and id feel sort of bad tearing it apart.

Very tempted by this. 
How on earth do you get a car without a V5 taxed for the drive home though?

Is it a case of applying for a v62(?) and waiting or is there a way to temporarily sort it?

Use the green slip from the V5 when you purchase it.

There’s no V5. I think he will have to apply using a V62 by post.

Good news on this. Car has been saved by a fellow Citroen enthusiast. It’s now residing in his drive and appears to be a good ‘un.

You just drive it home anyway and try not to think about it too much! 😅
