Yes, Someone will come up with correct colour? and VIN.

Looked on my dvd of colours it is either Twilight - described as dark blue/ purple flip or Dark Fantasy described as ink blue with purple/maroon/bronze flip.
Personally, I reckon it is Twilight.

Yep, that's 105

[robert.jamieson]

I've decided to sell my ZT to help fund the purchase of a new Mustang V8.

Mine is build no. 566,
SE specification, but also has all the other options apart from HK stereo upgrade.
It's like new! Absolutely stunning!
It won car of show at 2015 Newport Pagnell concours car show, and has covered less than 1K miles since.
British racing green with cream leather, rare Monogram edition.
11.4K miles, yes, you did read that right!
Full MG service history, just had C service at over £500, as well as new tyres etc...
12 months MOT.
Zero rear back boxes £500. Sounds awesome! Original boxes included.
MG7 mud flaps.
Fuel clip fitted.
Uprated heater hose fitted.
Comes with bespoke luxury fitted car cover, green with black piping and MG emblem £450.
Spare set of new ZT 260 mats unused.
Spare Black Olive heater valve unused.
Spare set of front MGR mudflaps unused.
Front MG seat covers.
Full set of sales documents and brochures.
Every receipt for all works undertaken since new.
2 owners including me.

This is a beautiful rare car in amazing condition, and I dare say probably one of best out there, if not the best!

I am asking £12K no offers. The car is worth every penny!

If you are genuinely interested, ring me on 07708578247 (tel:07708578247). I can provide pictures if you email me at rjamieson69@yahoo.com I don't often check messages on this forum so ring or email me.

I owned it miles 35 to 52400. Saw it at the triumph spare show in April. At 98000 miles it seems a little cheao after the work that Rick and John Newey at Summit have put in. Certainly vs the one that just went with 40,000 miles at 13,000 Pounds on fleabay last week

[SteveTD]

I'm pretty certain that's my old car - No 143. If so, it's an after market re-spray and not an MGR original Monogram colour.
In fact, even if it's not my old car - it's not an original MGR colour - defo not twilight, typhoon or poseidon.

http://www.brightwells.com/classic-motoring/general-information/how-to-buy/

Buyer’s premium & VAT

A buyer’s premium at the following rates will be added to the hammer price:


For Vehicles - 10%+VAT (e.g. on a hammer price of £10,000 you pay £1,000 premium + £200 VAT to give a total of £11,200, assuming a VAT
rate of 20%)

[Jez Marsh]

Wary about disagreeing with a very knowledgeable Steve. I'm sure 10000 would be basic but then plus one off colour, plus ace condition, plus total provenance, and a big plus time. In my new mg era of 2.5 years the cars are becoming less common, so good condition becomes even rarer.

Lower mileage cars are fewer. So a 14k ask with a 13k realised price doesn't feel too far out as the prices of good cars are up 25% in my time except some obvious ignorant sales in the 5-7k zone but of 100k mile plus cars. I humbly submit.

[SteveTD]

The issue of price on these cars is an odd one. In my experience it really comes down to the individual car in question - Jez - you've covered off most of the salient points and I tend to agree with you. I've had my typhoon for sale for a few weeks now, and I cannot count the number of random emails and messages I've received (some abusive) telling me the car is worth no more than a couple of grand. I've never had this before with any other car - what is it about the price of the 260 that is causing such emotion?!

[SCP440]

Yesterday a low mileage one owner ZT 260 sold for just over £9k on Ebay, it was not SE spec but if it was worth more the bidding would have reflected this I am sure.

Every feature that makes a car unique helps with its potential value but at the end of the day it takes somebody willing to splash the cash for it to obtain that value.

The problem is when you get into low teens on price there are a lot of very nice cars that can be bought for that kind of money that have more performance and a better back up with spares and dealer support.

Dont get me wrong I think our cars are amazing value but even people who know a lot about cars have never heard of them and have a dislike purchasing anything made by Rover group so that limits there market in my view.

I paid a lot less for my ZTT last year than I potentially would have to pay for it now I am sure and this is great but the last thing I want is a car that is so valuable that I am scared to take it to Sainsbury's. My Jensen when I bought it was just a nice old car and believe it or not amazing examples could be bought as recently as 5 years ago for under £20k, these days even basket cases fetch more than that and I have got to the stage that I only use it when I know it will be safe, do we realy want that with our 260's?

Steve

[SteveTD]

I'm not sure I agree with this. The 260 is very much a niche car - so one listing for a very short period of time doesn't necessarily reflect its worth. I think the true value of a niche car takes a bit longer to reveal itself.

[AndyG]

I watch many of the American Auctions programs and I am amazed at the prices of some of the classics (even the modern classics).

I think the car will go for £xx,xxx.xx, then they go for way above my thoughts of their value.

Some cars starts at a high new price, Then as they age, go down to almost nothing, Then as they get even older sell for very a high price.

Our cars are in this unique situation.

[David]

... Some cars starts at a high new price, Then as they age, go down to almost nothing, Then as they get even older sell for very a high price. Our cars are in this unique situation.

The trick being to buy at the "dip" of course !

Ask yourself this, if the worse happend and your car was stolen or written off would you replace it with exactly the same if the insurance gave you £14k or even more?

That's actually a great question - would love to see a poll on here for general consensus! I'm guessing something around 50/50?!....

[SCP440]

Yes exactly it makes you think, at £5k to £10K they are great value for money but when you start thinking about what you could buy for mid teens there a lot of choices out there.

I love the V8 engine with it lazy torque and sound but if you look at German build quality and maybe a Turbo or two and some electrickery they are a bit old hat. I was given a lift in a AMG 6.3 Twin Turbo a few weeks ago and the only word I can think of is Amazing, 0-60 in under 4 seconds, brakes so amazing it felt as if I was going to get a bruise from the seat belt and even a gizmo to make the exhaust sound different depending on what setting you put on the ECU.

Dont get me wrong I love my ZTT 260 but when you see what is out there even some Turbo Diesels will keep up with us.

How many know that the 260 was a project of Peter Stevens designer of the Maclaren F1 ??

Do not let the re-spray put anyone off as it is a very professional job which cost thousands to do. Everyone at the shows I’ve been at comment on how fantastic it looks and are very surprised when they read the info book I have with the car that it has actually been painted

For those non-dutch speakers amongst you, he was very positive about the car. Nothing negative at all in fact, even enthusiastic. Did however finally say that although nearly 20k euros is a lot of money, it may well be that if you were to look back on it in 5 or 10 years from now, you would say "why oh why didn't I buy it at such an affordable price?", in view of the enormous rarity.

Yes indeed, but the car is not mine, simply that I try and maintain an up to date list of ZT260 an Rover 75 V8 cars for sale for the forum members and any visitors like yourself.

Do not let the re-spray put anyone off as it is a very professional job which cost thousands to do. Everyone at the shows I?ve been at comment on how fantastic it looks and are very surprised when they read the info book I have with the car that it has actually been painted

Well Les, I BADLY need an Estate car of some sorts, and tbh what could be better than a red ZT-T to compliment a red saloon? Its a tough one, as Ive been looking at old Diesel Passats, ZT-T diesels, Insigia VXRs.... really a lack of estates that can do something to the pulse when required.

I guess with a full spray up matching the colour wasnt a big problem then? What about all the trim, most of it is held with more than brittle clips that shatter, assume you replaced them all?

I've had no end of problems with spray shops, thought I had found a really good one a while back, but even they managed to ruin my petrol flap hinge by bending it to get the flap off (for a paint match).

Also some goons decided to spray just the area around my boot numberplate.. so I am on the hunt for a Mk1 solar red boot with the lip spoiler... seen a few, might even buy a £250 ZT just for the panels then scrap it :)

Anyone know about this RHD car in Germany? Bit of a mystery:
Rover 75 V8 in IAE Chatsworth
https://www.autoscout24.com/offers/r...4392?cldtidx=3 (https://www.autoscout24.com/offers/rover-75-4-6-v8-celeste-l-raritaet-sammler-top-gasoline-beige-4acbb3d6-4e9b-4769-b669-ba64057c4392?cldtidx=3)

The photos show it to be a Chatsworth (RHD) but otherwise looks identical to #215 the LHD Geneva show car, which recently sold for a little less. The leather hasn't got the black piping (not SPJ; is it even sandstone? Photo could be misleading, but looks smokestone-ish), and doesn't appear to be Conny spec style either! The database doesn't show any car to have the spec, colour and trim combination as far as I can see. Sitting on 18" Vortex's too. Could it be the NEC show car? That spec. shouldn't exist, but obviously does.

Perhaps a better German speaker than I am could try and mail/speak to them to find out the VIN !

How it came to be languishing in the west of Germany is a mystery. Any ideas anyone?
Does look like the highest asking price for a RHD car to date though, although LHD have fetched more.

... which is why I suspect it may be the NEC show car, being the correct colour and trim (as far as press photos go).
Press cars, show cars and so on often have multiple personalities (even down to the "make"). Unless anyone claims to know better, I imagine it could be that one. No nearer finding the VIN and/or its history.

Have a look in the gallery at VIN #633, it's shown as having black piping on the VIN lists but the photos tell a different story.

#323 has just been serviced at Austin Garages, and passed its MOT earlier this week. It had new front shocks last year, a complete underbody treatment from PCM in Cheltenham in 2015, four new tyres in June last year, and has been garaged for most of the 11 years I have had it. I am really sad to be selling it but I am soon to start a new job which involves a lot of miles, and it makes no sense to put so many miles on it when so far it has so few.

Imported into Holland from Belgium in late 2010. Garaged since Autumn 2015.
The vehicle is being sold "for a client". The salesman says the client is thinking about Euro 19,000. Sounded unconvincing (/unconvinced).

The car has had right rear corner damage, clearly visible from within the boot, sufficient to break the rear window glass, which has been replaced. The damage has been repaired to a reasonable standard as far as that can be judged by eye. The whole car has been re-sprayed (why ?) Viewed in the showroom, not a bad spray job, say, 8/10. Salesman offered his opinion that it didn't look too brilliant in the sunlight!

Heavy leakage from differential (front oil seal?).
Ill-fitting LH exhaust back-box and rear bumper.
The car was not driven (disconnected battery).

On the plus side, little or no rust formation on struts, rear shocks, sub-frame, springs etc. Tidy interior, wheels. No unusual wear/scoring on front or rear brake-disks.

(Believed to be #795, WG54UBU, Ian W's old car sold by him in March 2017, now on 126,000 mi.).

Although not a fan of the manual gearbox (I would prefer a 75 tourer if they weren't as rare as hen's teeth) following the price drop I was musing about a visit. Now it's returned to its original, unsold, price. Is the vendor psychic? Or has my SWMBO told him to discourage me. Anyhow, does anyone have information about the car?

2004 MG ZT-T LHD, Firefrost?, 65,000km, Euro 17,000, VIN #538?
http://www.leboncoin.fr/voitures/1399098692.htm/

10136

This car has been for sale for a few weeks now, I was given the information before it it was actually advertised and had a chat with the owner who asked me what a decent valuation would be.
It is Firefrost red, and was the only ZT-T 260 ever imported in France by the French subsidiary (and for that matter, one that was never sold to an end-customer). Was used as press/demo car and registered to MGR France. It's the car that was heavily pictured, alongside a Starlight silver saloon, in the French MGR press kit for the 260s (pictures are available here in the gallery). Suffered an engine failure at 12,000 kms when being demoed, the driver shifted from 5th to 3rd while driving on the subway. Has brand new engine/transmission fitted afterwards. Was sold to a former MGR France director when MGR collapsed, who sold it a year later to the current owner, a friend of his.
Bodywork is not perfect, on the rear tailgate for instance which has a bit of damage to the lower, bumper area finisher. The gear gaiter is also weird-looking as it doesn't look anything like what it should. I suspect it got broken up when they did the engine/transmission change and created one of their own out of plywood as they couldn't source an original one.
The satnav drive suffered from water leaks and has been removed. I guess all Tourers do, mine has identical leaks...

Originally destined to be a biomorphic mk1 she was commissioned as a press car and given a mk2 face lift with shot silk paint and oyster alcantara also cruise control is fitted. Later in time around 60000 miles a signature Roush stage 3 s/c engine was fitted and later still a prinns lpg system so that's a brief history. I'm looking for offers around £16000 .

[SCP440]

I know somebody who went to look at it a few weeks ago hoping to a deal with the owner as it had been on Ebay for ages, he was there less than 10 mins and said it looked a lot better in the pictures than in the flesh. Oddly the dent on the roof was there when he looked at it.

By the sound of it the owner should take the bid and run.

I know when I was looking for my car some were very disappointing and some owners idea of immaculate is not mine, when you are buying a 14 year old car there will obviously be imperfections but when you see a car described as in A1 condition to find damage or badly repaired damage and with obvious faults it does make you feel like shaking the seller. One car I viewed even had a CAT C that I was not informed about before I viewed the car, the seller reckoned it could be removed if I had it tested.

[David]

True, Steve. Went to look at two ZT 260's for sale at garages in my local area in the last couple of weeks. #801 and #822. Both XPG, both had right rear corner damage repaired (badly) coincidentally, and both tatty in the extreme, and both at stupid prices. Euro 14,500 to 19,500 !

... and two bolshy salesmen claiming that you have to expect that with a classic of that age(?); take it or leave it.

I despair !

What I found unusual about that particular listing, was that if I searched for "MG ZT 260 V8" in all categories, it never came up and didn't when advertised on eBay auction a few weeks back. Same on my PC as on my iPhone. I don't know why, but warned the seller accordingly. Maybe because I am accessing it from outside the UK? Why then only that one? Other vehicles did and still do show up in the search.

My eBay 'alert' I have running for that self same search string DID work, which is how I found out about it. Accessing the ad itself was then no problem. Odd, but could perhaps explain why there were no bids if others had the same searching problem maybe.

Generally because they try to be too clever, deciding what you want (or worse still enforcing it) because that is what most would want to happen. As far as I can see, Facebook postings and their visibility obey no normally accepted human logic. It appears to be solely based on AI deciding that, in order to ensure we are all subjected to the maximum degree of exploitation.

Even Mr. Trump and Mrs. May appear to have noticed recently! (surprisingly in both cases).

My guess going from the description the area behind the bumper is probably damaged, plastic bumpers can hide a lot of damage as they will go back into there original shape.


If I had the time I would be tempted to go and see how bad it really is.


At least it does not appear to be recorded or at least that is what they are claiming, I know of somebody who bought a motorbike from Coparts with the same claim but it was an insurance write off.

Too much of a risk otherwise, unless it stayed at the current bid maybe, but the reserve is higher anyway.

Were that the case with this car, I guess you would have a good chance of being able to walk away from the deal without commitment.

I'd have it to be honest, but for it to be auctioned like this, must mean there is at least some serious damage to the front suspension/underside/whatever.

Hi all I've had my 260 for a couple of years now but it just isn't getting used. It is an SE with additional option pack, cost around £30000 in 2004. There is an extensive service history. Over £1000 was spent in 2015 on all kinds of maintenance, including replacement new rear springs. That was about 5000 miles ago-it has done 66000 now.We put a pair of decent rear tyres on-that was all it needed when we bought it-and it has an MOT till next May. Everything works as it should, X Power exhaust sounds lovely!. Great car in excellent condition but we have too many cars and it is not used enough.

Yes, but you've missed something. It is LHD and in Switzerland. All LHD cars are exceedingly rare, particularly ZT-T's and all R75V8's, so on the strength of scarcity alone, the price being asked is not surprising ... or did you think the price was too low perhaps?

Earlier this year 2 XPG ZT260's (not ZT-T) sold in the same part of Germany and coincidentally on almost the same day. Mileage was almost identical too, and photographs appeared to indicate a similar (very good) condition. Bot one was LHD and the other RHD.

As far as this particular car is concerned, you must remember that Switzerland is not a member state of the EU, which adds an extra dimension of cost and complexity to the possible solution of importing a car from another LHD-country, boosting Swiss market prices.

Knew I'd seen it somewhere before! eBay Auction a little under a year ago, from the same owner.
The old eBay listing still exists showing the final (presumably unsuccessful) bid of £12,825, 'Reserve not met', at that time.
The camera date excuse is wearing a bit thin!

Something very odd going on .....

I thought CCA was an auction house ?

Edit. The list of lots post auction only show cars as being 'Sold for ....' or 'Buy now for ....'. No shown as 'Passed' or 'Unsold' at all. that's apparently the way CCA works?

After 13 years of V8 ownership and with deep regret I announce that I am selling #862 'The Red Dragon'. The car is not getting the use it should so it is time to say good bye.

#862 is one of two Rio Red V8 Se made, the other one resides in Australia. So you will be getting a unique rare V8.
The Red Dragon had a full back end refurb in 2818 which included:
New rear disks and pads and handbrake shoes...
Rear subframe was rustproofed and painted with expensive PU paint
New brake pipes all plastic covered
Braided hoses all round.
New diff oil
New gearbox fluid
The Red Dragon has covered 50k miles and has been serviced regular by myself. Last service carried out may 2018.
In 2010 I had a full stainless steel twin pipe front to rear exhaust fitted which included two sports cats going into the X-Power back boxes. Also in 2010 Titanium rocker covers were fitted, a 75mm throttle body and spacer. K&N filter
Other spcs include
Full heated memory leather seats
Power fold mirrors
Apex alloys
Full satnav OE system
Xenon Head lights
Reversing Sensors
Rain sensing wipers the list goes on.

She will not come with the current registration (X12 MGT)
I have decided to ask £11,500 as it is the only Rio Red V8 saloon in the UK. (It is insured for more than this)
I will try and upload photos the weekend

See this being discussed elsewhere. And seemingly priced lower on another link by the same trader. It does look good in the photos and clearly needs a good detail.
Yes, I've seen those too, 'Preloved', 'drive24', 'motors.co.uk', amongst others, at 2000 quid less. Since the dealer's own site says £14,995 I've stuck to that.
I have had contact with two serious buyers who have seen the car. The car remains unsold, I note.

Gets de-listed and then pops up again a couple of weeks later! It had become pushed down in the Complete List a bit because of the earliest listing date, so that's why you missed it maybe.

Surprised to see that it hasn't already sold earlier, and even more surprised by the current price.

David

[SCP440]

Apart from repeated MOT fails on brake pipes and rear tyres its history looks OK.

Maybe it looks better in the pictures than in the flesh.

At that price it should sell unless that low price puts people off.

Whats the general consensus?

[David]

Whats the general consensus?
Assuming we are talking about the black R75V8 in Ealing, then those "seriously interested individuals" also posted their views on the MG Rover 260 V8 Owners and Enthusiasts FB group, so if I were to say anything, it would only be reported speech. One of those I can say, was Julian Anderson, so if you search around for comments posted there, you may get more information from the "horse's mouth" as it were.

It would be unfair of me to say more, not having personally seen the car.

David

[Lord Sward]

I'm not on Facebook, so I'm happy that whatever comments you relay to me are heresy.

Oh and nobody could touch you for anything you say anyway.

Edit, Wild Rover will vouch that I'm not a troll BTW. 15 or 16 years ago this week, I raced him down to Le Mans, him in his 260 and me in a 190.

Sorry, not being pedantic, but it is a closed group on Facebook, which I think one should honour. Matter of principle. The same applies to postings here on the Forum in non-public sections, I feel.

Easy enough to join, though. You will not be risking anything yourself by making an FB account and joining the group concerned. You do not divulge personal information by doing that. Up to you.

Sorry.

I'm won't be joining Facebook to read somebody's opinions of a used car, thanks all the same.

David and I recently had a brief argument and ..words ..together. Maybe it was my fault, maybe it was his. But, from my part , its all over and in the past and forgotten.
Invariably, Men and Cars, Men And Sport..well it leads to ..crossed swords ..some times. Then..all is forgiven ..and were all Mates again
.
Regarding Davids Service to our Club..and particularly his -Cars for Sale - Club Feature, it?s absolutely brilliant, and we should all be extremely grateful for all the work he does researching it, compiling the Information, and posting it every day, which he has takes two or three hours a day .

David is completely correct in his stance re Confidently and neutrality . We dont want to step on the FaceBook 260ers Toes, and they don?t want to step on ours..in the sense of relaying information.

IF you are genuinely seeking to purchase a 260..go down and look at it yourself . I bought my 260 in Glasgow.I spoke to the Dealer..extensively..he told me if I didn?t agree with his description of the Car..he would refund my Travel Expenses.
I went up there..looked at it..it was exactly as the Dealer had described..FSH..Mint Condition..never been painted anywhere ..and it drove perfect..as new. Consequently, I bought it with my Card. End of story.

If David gives out his personal opinions, nudge nudge ..wink wink ..I wouldnt bother looking if I was you etc...the Confidential aspect of any discussions between Cars up for sale owners ..and David...would be buggered up. The potential owners would say to the Cars for sale owners.. hey mate..David says that Car of yours is crap..not coming to look at now .
David is a Club official after all , he cant be some kind of sneak.

Futher more ...NEVER ..ask anyones opinions on a Car for Sale anyway. Do your own research, find out information, speak to people with some knowledge on the Particular Make / Model of Car...but dont take their advice alone...go and look at the thing yourself .

I lost three fantastic buys..listening ..experts.. kind advice.. A concours condition Lancia Coupe..
with 2,00omile on the clock Mint BMW RS 100 Motorbike, and a Fantastic .. wooden chassis Marcos Coupe ..which would have been worth £35,000 now .

WHY did I lose these great buys...BMW..the Bastard I called for advice..a BMW / MOTO GUZZIE Dealer..said no don?t buy it. Next day he went down and bought it himself . He was a titled a Baron . The Lancia..head of the Lancia Club ..yes you guessed ..went down the following day..after saying don?t buy it...and bought it himself . The Marcos..well it was just a feud between Jem Marsh , the Owner Of Marcos Cars, and the Seller .. an ex Marcos employee . BUT..I lost a fantastic buy..listening to others. AND..I didnt know enough about the Car ..before I went to see it etc

Anyway, I dont t think Davids done anything to receive Critique for on this matter in Question .Seems like a lot of fuss over bugger all really . IF David, Nich, etc etc ..didnt do all the stuff they do for the Club..there wouldn?t be a Club.

Who the F is going to spend 3 hours a day ..compiling, researching, and posting up all information concerning 260?s For Sale ...if David said ...oh bollocks ...I?m finishing with it all.

None of us perfect, we arent always in the right ( although we think we are ) , and we must maintain Civility between ourselves .Disagree ..yes, debate ..yes ....but we must not get personal, rude , and ignorant with each other.

Peace Out .

Harry has put it perfectly in post 494. David does do a fantastic job of compiling and updating the cars for sale and he’s correct in not passing on someone else’s opinion. Imagine the shit storm from a new owner if he said the car was excellent and it turned out not to be so. If you’re buying a car go see it for yourself, when I bought 342 I asked opinions on here and what I didn’t know was the man selling it was a trusted trader of V8 cars and it was as described but it isn’t always like that. I’d a 1,000 mile round trip to collect my car, so if you’re serious in purchasing a car distance doesn’t come into it. Sometimes this forum is seen by some as a secret squirrel but it has done extensive research and work over the years and I for one respect the work done and will not disclose anything from here unless it is a common problem across all models and I always guide any new potential owner’s from Facebook to the forum

I am selling my much loved 260 SE, #171. I have owned the car for 5 years and finding less and less time to drive. Only covered a few hundred miles between the last MOTs

The Monogram Mirage bodywork in very good condition
X power exhausts
Aftermarket racing cams with Accufab throttle body (Unique sound)
MSD Coil Packs
Underdrive pulley kits
All interior dials and switches changed to blue
Uprated club heater hose fitted
260 mats
This year I have spent £2.5k with new slave and master cylinder, new clutch, full service (every fluid and plugs) rusted fixings in bay all replaced. All carried out by Austin Garages where the car is very well known with myself and previous owner. Only other garage used is Summit Garage, MG specialists.
Service file is very comprehensive with over £16K of receipts.

Still don’t know whether I am doing the right thing but seems a shame to sit in a garage. This is a very good example with no expense spared. Would really like this to go to an enthusiast to keep the car in this condition.

Richard Clift.

They've used a photo of John Newey's car (which is NOT for sale)...... a bit naughty.....
