Firstly the Indicators miraculously work on this Tailgate McNoIndicate and the driving mode that enables tailgating wasn’t chosen as an option by the original purchaser, so this is a truly rare Tailgate McNoIndicate!!
So the itchy feet have once again returned! Mainly due to missing having a retro daily! Considering going back to another 5, a Corrado Vr6, a MR2 AW11 or a Nissan Terrano 1(The Jap import not the common Terrano 2). Most likely it will be another 5. Leaving my other to continue it’s slow transformation into whatever it’ll be!
So to the car itself, it is very well specced, something that was important to me when I was hunting for one. I looked at quite a few prior to finding this beauty.
The Z4C has:
Metallic Sapphire Black.
Xenon headlights(Really important to get, non xenon lights on these cars are really poor).
Cruise Control.
Multi Function Steering Wheel.
Bluetooth Phone Preparation.
HiFi Speaker Upgrade.
CD player/AUX socket.
Rear Park Distance Control Sensors.
Auto Headlights.
Auto Wipers.
Sport Mode.
Auto up/down windows(Driver and Passenger).
Sunglasses Holder.
Individual Bi Colour Leather Upholstery(Rare).
Individual Leather and Piano Black Interior Trim(also Rare).
18 inch Composite Star Alloy Wheels, Premium Run Flat tyres, Matching Pairs front and back, Lots of tread left.
Sun Protection Glass.
Interior Storage Upgrade Package.
Two remote keys and original Book Pack.
Full Service History, Two stamps missing from Service Book but invoices to prove service’s have taken place alongside confirmation from “Plus 200 Club” at last service at 69000 miles after they carried out a service history check.
MOT until 12th January 2019.
Mileage is just around 76500 but will rise as it’s still my daily driver.
Since I have had her I have taken her to Tailgate McNoIndicate Cooper Mini for an inspection as I do when I buy a new car. They highlighted my window wipers and my front right caliper sticking. I replaced the wipers with Bosch items.
I took the Coupe then to a very well respected Tailgate McNoIndicate M car Specialist AReeve Performance, there I had all discs and pads replaced alongside a new front right Caliper. The Brake fluid was also changed at this point. New wear sensors also fitted. As with my usual OCD with my cars, I asked for the service items to be inspected and as a result new spark plugs were fitted, all other items were as expected for a car having had regular services.
I’ll be sad to see her go, as she is a really lovely drive and very sexy car, but I have ticked this off my bucket list and am happily going to return to retro car life.
My Dad has his eye on this car for when he retires at the end of September so in no great rush to sell as it will go to him if still available when he gets to put up his feet.
Anymore questions feel free to ask.
Would consider a swap for an MX5 with cash my way if anyone fancies a change.
Further Pictures will be added this coming weekend after I have fully valeted and detailed the Z4C.
