Lovely looking car I do like the rarer colours on the zed spectrum, Merlot looks fantastic but I’m not so keen on the light colour interiors, glwts :thumbsup:

If you are set on a big engine and on HellRot you ought to be all over that one! It is a rare colour, and don't forget if it comes with a cover and a stand a hardtop is worth the best part of a Grand!

Someone on here made a database of facelift 3 litres (so 3.0Si) and M's:- http://perso.numericable.fr/tonyz4c

Based on that it looks like only 36 Coupes and 9 Roadsters came to the UK - and one of those Roadsters is Marlon's, so you're down to 8 straight away. :lol:
Coupes because stunning!

Hi. I've an 06 facelift 3.0 si roadster in hellrot with 14500 miles on it. I'm the 2nd owner and have had the car a couple of years, the first owner apparently having used only to drive 'to and from the yacht club at the weekends'! Given the mileage, it's hard to pinpoint value but let me know if you'd be interested and I'll do some research. If any folks on the forum have any thoughts, please feel free to comment. Condition was described as 'mint' when the car was inspected by Darren Wood.

Hi. Here are some pics from when I first got the car. I'm only considering selling as I'm looking for something 'different' I can use as a daily driver for work. I know the car's rare because of colour and mileage but really don't know where to pitch it price wise because there's nothing to compare it to. Leave with me and I'll make some enquiries but if you're happy to pitch in with a figure in the meantime please pm me - to be honest that could either tip me towards letting the car go or keeping it.

That's alarming that they can't be bothered to put a bonnet badge on it before photographing. What else can't they be bothered to tackle ??

I'd agree, however that's a LOW price considering there's £900 worth of hardtop included!

I think it might be worth a view, it’s about a 2 hour trip from me so an afternoon zed shopping is in order, I have asked for more photos and history. Looking at it’s mot history is a bit worrying with a fair few fails. There is mention of under car damage, coolant leak and brake and tyre issues but all minor. I think it looks great with the hardtop on. Does it take much to remove the hardtop so I can check the operation of the electric roof

It's easy, two man lift, just three bolt-on locations (middle of the windshield and two on the b pillars)
