Polish ZL - GBP conversion?

[ysidfa]

Hey people, (301st post woooo :slayer

Im looking to try and get my hands on a 126. After realising, unless I wanna pay stupid prices then it would be better getting a LHD model from abroad. I hit up "autoadsite.com" and found that there are LOADS of lovely models in poland. But when it came to converting the Polish currency, Zlotchy (sorry for the spelling) to GBP, I came a croppa.

For example,
This car http://autoadsite.com/404_126.html,92586_fiat_126_petrol.
Is advertised at 950,00 ZL
Using coin mill I converted it to gbp and I got £17896.09!!!!
I thought the "," may have been acting as a "." but converting 950Zl to gbp gives me £178.96??? Surely it cant be right?

If anyone could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated

Cheers
Tom

£180 is about right, its roughly 50 zloty to £10

£200 sounds about right, but for the most part they don't treat them very well so you may be paying £200 for the car, you'll then have to pay another £2-300, maybe more, getting it back to the UK, then you'll have to get it registered and MOT'd, and until you have a proper look over it you'll have no idea what's wrong with it.
Have a look over at http://club126uk.co.uk for more info, scan through some of the 'For Sale' threads and you'll see the usual problems associated with bringing a 126p into this country.
That said, it's easily the most fun car I've ever owned

Cheers man,
Im looking to get my hands on something classic without the classic pricetag. Ill head over the club126 and have a gander. Fetching it shouldnt be too much of a problem, OH's step-dad has a XL transit on fleet insurance and a new 500 can easily fit in the back and I woulnt mind a trip across europe

Cheers
