It's a ZT-T but not a monogram one - quite a rare colour though apparently for what that's worth.

What paint code is it? It still could be considered a monogram if its a non standard ZT colour. Die hards will argue against. I can only think its Seafrost or Ski Blue then. Looks a lot like Horizon though.

It is indeed Horizon (IBF), and I stand corrected, that was a monogram colour.

Oh and is it for sale??

I am planning to sell it when I have put the remaining bits on

It's currently running but without MOT and needs about a day of me screwing the last few bits on, but certainly need to offload it as it's now surplus to requirements. It's a 190+ SE manual trans.

Today, I achieved my personal motoring Nirvana.
I now own.

Mercedes 508d. Holiday time.
Peugeot 205 STDT. Play time.
Toyota Hilux Surf 3.0TD. Time for work.
Peugeot Expert Combi 110 HDI. Family time.

I'm happy with that fleet. All have their purpose and I actually want all of them.
Ok, the Peugeot is ugly but, it does practical better than it does pretty and, it stays.

What's the engine status of the Merc at the moment?

Engine status:-
Still fucked!

Waiting for some money to come through for it. Nearly threw in the towel with it but, after all the work I put in, I can't.

How?? I thought those old things could do a million miles easily

Perhaps it already has #quentinwilson

It threw a rod on the A41 on my way home from Dadford Road Campsite after a party.
We'd topped up the oil in Devon before I set off, 10l in the sump on one of them.
Didn't check the level before Silverstone and it seems it had consumed all the oil so went bang.
If it had drunk all that oil in that journey, it was already fucked. It was a bastard to start and smoked like a bitch for the first mile or so, so had been mistreated it's whole like before.
Was gutted at the time but I'm over it now, it obviously needed a new engine or a rebuild anyway.

Aye that does sound like it was 'well used' previously.
