Will I be o.k. with a ZF box on a QP

[Woody]

Guys,

Just to let you know that I am now the proud owner of a ZF auto QP in dark blue. Thanks for your advice.

Congratulations! What did you go for in the end (ZF, age, miles, spec)? Did you get the bargain you wanted? Pop some pics up when you get a chance.

Well done fella, pics, pics, pics....when you have stopped driving her around aimlessly!

What part of the UK are you in, be good to see the new motor at one of our events?

Congratulations mate.

Look forward to some nice pics.

Enjoy!

I think I read somewhere that paddles can be retrofitted to auto QP's, anyone who can confirm this?

Thanks. No doubt we will be meeting at a fuel station not too far from home! I am just south of Chelmsford - we should co-ordinate timing of journeys so that people don't see two blue QP's - otherwise they will appear to be all over the place
GTA is a kind of QP lite in a way. But to be passed on to a colleague shortly. I think five italian cars is enough for now!

Jaisharma - beautiful car. I think Blue Nettuno is the best for a QP. Can I ask if you bought privately or from a dealer? Did you find much to look at on the BCA website?

 

[Parisien]

Excellent choice....great car....many happy miles in her!!

[jaisharma]

Hi, actually I bought it from an auction. BCA had one or two on and off. You just have to keep watching, and then take a deep breath!
Actually I had checked it with the previous dealer who supplied the car and also had a specialist friend give me his advice.

 

[gamma_ray]

Jaisharma - Many thanks; that's useful advice. I'll keep a lookout on BCA too!

 

[Parisien]

Excellent...keep us appraised of how it works out

When you look at the cars for sale there doesn't seem to be many...If any...ZF cars without paddles....Most opted for them...

Really like this one - Verdi Goodwood with Tan. No paddles though:

Thats a lovely colour BB and suits the QP well.......Rare without paddles and even with 5k on clock seems a lot of money.
