    Default MK1 #32 xPower Grey Saloon SE Supercharged for sale, 12 month MOT ;)

    Selling with great regret my Mk1 ZT400 SE with extra?s.
    I vowed I would never sell this car but due to my health deteriorating and requiring ankle joint replacements in both my ankles I need to switch to an automatic.... I have already got an automatic replacement so not looking at part exchanging before anyone asks....

    I have virtually all the parts to return this car back to factory except for an amp and the central exhaust system which can be picked up easily enough
    All the SE usual spec plus:

    Electric height adjustable passenger seat.
    Rare Green alcantara upholstery (original even rarer Black Alcantara included).
    Cruise control (Retrofit but with original parts and the only Mk1 to have it).
    Retrofit rear electric sunblind.
    Custom dashboard with gauges (see pictures and further description). Original dash included.
    Pioneer double din stereo with a proper albeit aftermarket double din faceplate, means any aftermarket double din can be fitted.
    White led lights on the switch gear to match the dash as it is a Mk1.
    MG7 Rear Lights.
    Retrofit Power fold Mirrors.
    xPower Exhausts.
    19? Wheels with 255 tyres for extra grip.
    Custom 2.5 inch stainless steel dual piped exhaust system.
    VHS suspension kit.
    Kenne Bell Supercharger and New Engine fitted less than 20k miles ago.
    It has just had a new Battery, a big C service and 12month MOT put on the car.

    Here are more bits in detail and too much to mention really but the big jobs and well known jobs that have been done are:

    Fuel clip replacement 11/2009 - Austins

    Cruise control retrofitted: 08/2010 - The only Mk1 to have this. For some reason this car had the wiring loom for Cruise Control so all genuine parts were obtained except for the bracket holding the cruise control module (ZR Horn bracket I think) and the cruise control cable (Ford mustang LHD cable so genuine part just longer than the RHD part but works fine).

    Kenne Bell Supercharger & New Engine ? 03/2011 - Dreadnought - Original engine blew up on the rolling road when it was being tested. Dreadnought very graciously supplied and fitted a new Engine which was painstakingly (try keeping your car to 3000 rpm when you know it has a supercharger fitted) broken in by myself.
    New Clutch
    New Starter Solenoid All replaced at around 42,500 miles

    Front Discs & Pads - 42918miles - 08/2011 - Austins
    Rear sunblind fitted

    Reconditioned Sub frame (enamelled) 05/2012 - Austins
    New Rear Discs and Pads - 47674miles
    New Handbrake Cables

    xPower Exhausts

    VHS suspension kit

    4 New tyres ? 255/35R19 Uniroyal Rainsport ? 07/2013 ? Halfords - Currently at 6mm rear and 7mm front

    Temperature distribution valve (not the known one but another one behind the dash) 08/2013 - Austins

    Air con compressor & Condenser, Cooling Fan ? 04/2015 - Compressortech/Motorclimate UK

    I also had the vehicle Waxyoiled in 2014 and Nick at Austins has topped up the waxyoiling on the brake pipes since.
    Modified Exhaust system built to produce the original Mustang twin pipes throughout with a H pipe Possibly worlds smallest H pipe...) to equalise. This was hand crafted in stainless steel 2.5? diameter tubing which gives the car an authentic American V8 sound, never tried fitting the standards back on but with the xpowers this is probably the loudest xpower car out there. I also have the sleeves which make the xpowers even louder if you wish. Also included will be the original back boxes and powerflow back boxes which gives a deeper sound than the xPowers but quieter.

    It has a modified dash in rhodium grey which shows, oil pressure, supercharger pressure, battery volts and fuel air ratio. This is more of a gimmick in a way as the air/fuel ratio we discovered doesn?t really work due to the configuration of the exhausts. The others do work though the supercharger has stopped, I suspect either the tube has come off behind the dash or has a crimp/crushed behind the dash). The original dash is supplied if you wish to revert it back to standard.

    Pioneer double din stereo is fitted but I have the 4:3 satnav unit and parts that can be fitted to return back to original.

    Currently fitted with 4 Wolfrace 19? wheels with 255/35R19 Uniroyal rainsport 2

    Spares:
    5 Apex alloys (will need a refurb).MG 260 front bumper badge
    Original front and rear suspension dampers and springs.
    Alternator (new).
    Headlights (might need a bit of refurbing).
    Original rear tail lights.
    Original exhaust back boxes & Powerflow ones.
    Original Rear hubs.
    Brake pipes (new).
    Modified 260 heater hose as an original MG part is still on.
    I have other bits and pieces such as throttle bodies and cold air intake which can be sold on.
    Apart from the exhaust system which can still be bought I have all the parts to return this car back to standard, even the manifold and throttle body (original and BBK) if required.

    The bad bits... Might be being a bit pedantic here.
    Has a few stone chips but no dents
    Rust bubbling through on the NSF wing
    Seems to have a slight battery drain, if it is an everyday driver it isn?t noticeable but if you leave it parked up for a few weeks it is. One theory is it is the NiCads in the alarm system as it is an old car and they are not holding their charge. Another theory is the extra electronics now on there with the custom dash etc.

    Sort of full service history...
    Serviced twice in 2004 by the press garage and then 10k miles later in 2006. The owner from 2006 to 2009 had it serviced by a friend and another 260 member who is known to Tim on here. When I was buying the car Tim spoke to the owner on my behalf checking it out with it being serviced by a friend and Tim vouched for him. Just there are no stamps in the book.
    I have also not kept the book updated but I have every invoice from Austin?s (Nick said he will stamp up the book) with all the services from 2009 onwards where it was given a Major service the first time I had it and then again in 2013 and with selling it now it just had another Big C service at 58,159

    I am looking at £12,500 but I am open to what I think are sensible offers

    Sad to hear on both counts Martin, car and body. Good luck with the sale. Remember you buying it.

    Hang on... I thought the Mk1's didnt have cruise control?!

    Its got the module there...Oh I just read your post properly )))

    Can you provide some information as to how you did this? Sorry to drag off topic, but Ive been looking at this for years, but was not sure if it was going to be a huge job of wiring/splicing stuff etc, or whether it was plug and play, but just with the right bits..



    Good luck with the sale though!

    You had better read the post again as it was stated all the wiring was there so all that had to be done was plug in the components. If you want to do the same check to see if your car has the necessary looms

    Where else is there to check? Is there a loom that goes into the engine bay with a connector for the control box?
    Is it a GREEN connector plug in the switch panel below the A/C control unit?
