Description
I'm confident more time and money has been lavished on KEC than any other ZX on the market. The rear axle bearings, for example, are a known issue on all these PSA cars and usually consigns them to the scrapper or an unscrupulous sale to an unsuspecting enthusiast. Beware!
We've used KEC as third car and have put about 50k miles on it! The turbo pulls like the proverbial train, the handling constantly astonishes modern hot hatches (!); what's not to like? Reason for sale is that the current Mrs. D is wanting something a bit higher to get in and out of due to a lower back issue. So rare now: I have found others for sale but in 'money pit' condition.
bought for the reason stated above and have maintained it regardless of all economics; the horrid expensive jobs are done: just recently brake master cylinder and front wheel cylinders plus oil and filter every 5 to 6k, gearbox oil, discs, pads, shoes, rear wheel cylinders, battery, Avon and Michelin Contact tyres, serpentine belt and idlers/ tensioner, rear dampers, F ball joint/ suspension arm, wheel bearings, 100w bulbs on main and dip, axle- yes, axle-, handbrake brake cables, anti roll bar drop links and anything else its needed because elderly cars deserve to be improved, not just used.
The interior is excellent; the paint is not peeling (as most do) probably because we have carefully polished and then waxed it.
Everything works. There is a small patch of corrosion on the inside of the driver's door which I drown in wax oil from time to time.
I'm taking the plate off for sentimental reasons but still have the original supplying dealership's plate for the rear and an after market for the front. Mileage will not increase much as we've been using it with enthusiasm, but now SORN-ed for winter. There's an MOT from 16th January 2025.
We're just off the M6 J 35; that's Burton Services, Carnforth South Lakes.
We have a video to what's up to one of those new phones if you have one; i haven't but my daughter has. This very rare car has a known history and service record; the late Mrs. Jones bought it new as L530 OUB from Fletchers in Leeds; after her passing Mr. Jones kept it but it was then taken of the road until a Citroen enthusiast Mr. Dickenson bought it, re commissioning and changing the cam belt at 57k. So 3 previous owners.
