QUOTE(arsenwagon @ Feb 20 2021, 07:54 AM) It was overshadowed by the Mk1 Focus which was a way better car.QUOTE(cfa28 @ Feb 20 2021, 08:29 AM) Yes surprised still quite many ZX are running about here.The 16v always has a special place for me because that was my first car. Dark blue, Even in 1.9l form that car could run and cornered very well. Definitely set the benchmark for a good handling everyday car but let down by electrical issues. Still a fun car to drive. Would love to have that ZX 16v again but difficult to source for a good one. |

I sold my 1997 zx to a Citroen collector 2years.Yes surprised still quite many ZX are running about here. The 16v always has a special place for me because that was my first car.

Would love to have that ZX 16v again but difficult to source for a good one. Sold to him at rm700. Still in good running condition and was my daily car. Was supposed to send this car to the scrapyard. At least now I know the car is in good hands. |

QUOTE(Asquith @ Feb 19 2021, 05:53 PM) We had one that was brand new 20VT registered in 2008. A brand new in 2008? Damn a great find at the time. 2000-2002 car i assume?Cannot believe Torino kept it in stock for so damn long. Recently sent on to a new home as we no longer wanted to keep any cars that were built after 1980. Every car before 1980? Damn haha. As much i like old cars, i cant live without bluetooth audio. I dont like old cars with new headunits. Too out of place/spoils the classic interior The closest to a time machine i can find is just looking at youtube videos all day long.

It was a 2001 manufactured car.Every car before 1980? Damn haha. As much i like old cars, i cant live without bluetooth audio. I dont like old cars with new headunits. Too out of place/spoils the classic interior The closest to a time machine i can find is just looking at youtube videos all day long. Believe it or not Torino had over 20 units to choose from though most were yellow. Good? Nah. It was far from new car condition, all the rubber parts had hardened and suspension parts had flat spots, the engine needed a rebuild after 7000km, turbo bearing seized and that is just what I could remember off the top of my head. Yes we got rid of all post 1980 cars in our collection as many of them were not in best of shape and parts for them are even more difficult to come by than a car built in 1960. |

QUOTE(skyblu3 @ Feb 21 2021, 07:33 AM) I drove the exact ZX 16v that I had in my younger days. Car was mostly the same minus the 2 digit plate it used to bear and it has a new paint job. I got to admit it really did make me feel a certain something that you cannot find even in new Citroens. The agility it could corner, the ride comfort and strangely even the way the seats were supportive without it being heavy. Why did you give it away ? |

Hardly used it as I ride to work and I have another 2 cars. And then parts are hard to find, and I didn't have the time for this car. It was left unused ( almost ) for almost 2 years plus. But I'm really glad that the car is in good hands now, a Citroen fan. Was gladly let it go for rm700. Asquith liked this post

QUOTE(Asquith @ Feb 20 2021, 06:46 AM) Yes sold cheap2 to our uncle, he just use in his kampung.That Telstar could really run and handle well for a car of that era. Unbelievable it was actually not that expensive a car when compared to a Honda Accord of the era. That Aircond vents was indeed a fascinating feature. Cannot believe that did not become mainstream. Fun era to grow up indeed. Now everyone glued to their phone. Tragic. What happened then? Haha yes that wheels. |
