Hi there

i'm thinking about looking at this vehicle this weekend and just wondered whether anyone would have any info on it at all.

http://www.eddiewright.co.uk/Used-Car-Details/used-mg-zt-46i-flift-v8-260-se-saloon-silver-manual-petrol-ID_34919.aspx

The reg is RX06 OAC.

A quick check on the dvla reveals that it has not been taxed since 2009. I havent got the last three numbers of the VIN but will ring the garage in the morning and get it.

I dont know whether this is an se or not (sorry I'm new to this :confused:)

I am no expert at all although i've been lurking for a while but I've noticed that there are no V8 badges on the front wings and the ZT badges on the boot seem to be in the wrong place for a facelift. I always thought that the facelift ZT badge was underneath the rear number plate although I may be very wrong....

thanks in advance and I hope to be a more regular poster on here very soon!!

Unless I am mistaken the VIN maybe #002.
I'm sure there's a thread on that car here somewere



Found it https://www.two-sixties.co.uk/mgoc260/html/f0rum/showthread.php?7921-002

This car has been discussed on here, but maybe on the members section,

It is apparantly 002, which makes it a very early possibly a development car?

It is interesting in many ways, but may not be suitable for a non enthusiast.

Do your research thoroughly on this one, it is not necessarily a bad car, but there are probably things you need to know first!

It has been for sale for a long time also...

Wow thanks for the speedy reply and help!

Unfortunately it wont allow me to view that thread.

Would you mind letting me know in a nutshell if its worth me looking at it or is there something sinister?

many thanks in advance!

I have replied and thank you.

I will steer clear of this one. I'm already in conversation with oap Pete re his and will be travelling to see it at the earliest opportunity albeit it is a LONG way from me!

OAP Pete's is a really nice example of a V8 and a honest car.
Get there quick

Oh no! That means you'll have a long drive ahead of you when you pick it up :)

I live near London, but bought mine from Durham. Of course, you don't want to travel a long way just to find the car is a mess, but as others have said, Pete's looks an excellent example at a very good price - it's unlikely to be for sale long.

All being well, I'll be making the 300 mile journey home to Preston with no 88 on Tuesday afternoon - cant sleep now :-)

Didn't manage to sort out your membership then Ken?

You need to state an asking price.

Hi,
Are you able to fill me in on the history of this one? I own it, I'm struggling to get my brain around it and so far DVLA have not been forthcoming!

Nich,
Is there an online form? I'm none too handy with a computer & don't have a printer/scanner.
