GregZX Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 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.

I’m trying to get the funds. It still has a towing eye cover that had to stop myself from stealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cms206 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 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. davehedgehog31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaveACuppa Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffgeezer Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Use the green slip from the V5 when you purchase it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregZX Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 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.
