I know what you mean mate took me a fucking age to find a good honest 3 door, but it's the same with any car these days people always say it's the best car in the world an when u see it it's a dog, my dad was after a mk2 zephyr so phoned a guy about one in Manchester and after many calls and emails and pictures decided to go for it, borrowed my van and a mates trailer and traveled the 7-8 hour drive down from Aberdeen to find it was a total fucking dog!
