Looking for ZT v8 260 SE

Hi there

I was hoping someone could help me track down a good condition example.

I'm a paid up MGOC member who has had an MGRV8 for the past 8 years or so. I love that car but I don't take it out in the rain, so my daily driver is a 3.0 V6 X-Type. That's fine, but really I need a v8 to get me about with the soundtrack that I love the most.

If anyone knows of any solid, good condition ZT v8s looking for a home where they will be driven, appreciated and also bring ona smile then please let me know.

Cheers

Wayne

Hi Wayne,

Check out the link`s below which has been drawn up by AndyG, its normally quite up to date but if you see a car for sale anywhere else and need to get some info on it please ask on here (If you can get the last 3 of the cars Vin Number that would help us get info on it). We may know the car and its history. Also if you let us know where in the country you are, you may have a Two-Sixties member close enough to help if required etc.

Happy to pay the right price for the condition so flexible on budget. Just want to make sure I get something thats well looked after and looks the part.

Also forgot to mention that I have a ZR160 which is stripped and races autocross.

It's got normal projector lights so no washer jets fitted.
In one of the pics you can see the light adjuster on the LSM :)

My mistake I thought all SE spec had xenon as standard and the ad does say it has them!

Don't spoil it Nich :).............just having a silly moment here

Still not sure what those lights are.....................

Couldn't see the marking inside the units but also haven't seen the height adjuster.

It's the dash dimmer you can see. (hence the light adjuster comment)

Wonder how long it would take people to spot my mistake and embarrass me :GMC

Sorry..............had a silly moment as pointed out by Nich

Hence the light adjuster comment rather than height adjuster.
Just couldn't see the normal text in the headlight units :)

Ahhh, I wonder why the bumpers were changed. I prefer the originals.

Hi guys - the lights are, indeed, Xenons and I have the original bumpers in my possession - previous owner changed them for aesthetic reasons - both are in mint condition. :-)
