Hi Peter, and welcome!

What are the last 3 digits of the VIN number?

I may be able to help if i know that?

How high are rovers compared with MGs?

Andys suspension kit only lowers the MGs by a few mm so a 3cm drop is quite substantial!

Its here Colin www.mobile.de (http://www.mobile.de/) 000859. Good looking car. I'm trying to find out about it, you may do better.

I would be very concerned about it being 30mm lower than standard.

As well as affecting the suspension and steering geometry, the lowest point is the engine, and that is close enough to the ground already.

I think Peter's trader is doing the normal sales pitch with not the greatest of knowledge.

If you look on the site all the different variations have 'flowery' names. I'm trying to get confirmation but the Sport looks to be near the top of the range and has bigger wheels and the ZT260 shocks but that is about it. Not confirmed though. No torsion shocks though.

non of them look any lower to me, they infact look higher than our zt's.

Theres another one on there an mg zt v8 with hairpins?

Tend to agree with you Tim. Just looks like a standard Conn SE (or Celeste)with 18 Vortex wheels to me and the ad doesn't provide much information either.

agreed, it sits exactly as my car does. It's a nice top oif the range standard car.

looks like a Conoisseur SE to me

:cool:

Nice looking example, i agree looks like a Conn SE with 18's. Is the car not a bit strong on the money side ?? i cant see it really being worth nearly 30k euros as you can buy a BMW 330 auto for a lot less out there

Does seem overpriced, for the UK market at least.
