Hi, I am new to the forum but have searched it many times. I have a zx 16v. N reg. It's a nice example with full leather and air con, with electric roof etc. Other than a sports filter (fitted 2002) and a de-cat pipe fitted lest week it is stock. I purchased her in 2002 and have used her only for short periods, otherwise she has sat in the garage. 75k on the clock and almost fsh. One of the diaphragms on the inlet systems has perished so I am looking for another (£40 from citroen).

What do you guys think shes worth nowadays? Not that she's for sale at this moment in time. Occasionaly see one on ebay.

She was an official Citroen test car in her first days and was featured by top gear (magazine to prove) 'she will step the back end out amusingly though...'. They weren't very keen of the dark green paint, black leather, black carpet and dark roof lining (that was what attracted me to it in the first place)

Are there any meets for these still? Does anyone know a good back box for these? It is now a 3rd car so I don't mind tarting her up a bit, obviously nothing silly or boy racer.
