A really handsome-looking car, with a solid history of servicing and refurbishing.
I am correct in observing that it has ZT backboxes and bumper?

MG ZT-T 260 in X-power grey, n° 555, LHD
MG TF 160 BRG, LHD
Lotus Evora 2010 Platinum silver LHD
MGR database thinks it's a Mk 1 MG ZT 260SE anyway, of course, as do the photos from 'scoubix', but what's in a name.
Is it registered as an MG or as a Rover, I wonder?

If it's like mine then it's registered as an MG. The Rover looks date from the time it was at Nick's (or Brown&Gammons), and in any case that has no influence on the registration anyway. The Rover 75 V8 didn't have any legal existence when the car was reg'ed, and its VIN is that of an MG anyway. Mine is officially a manual ZT-T 260...so this one is officially a manual MG ZT 260.
1999 2.5 V6 Rover 75 Connoisseur - Dealer Launch - LHD
2004 4.6 V8 MG ZT-T (the only known auto ZT-T V8) - LHD
1993 2.7 V6 Rover 827 Coupé - LHD
1993 Rover 216 GSi
1975 Rover P6 3500
I'm a complete novice at posting on here and thought that this reply would position itself under David's post. Apologies for messing up the chain.

You're absolutely right in the literal sense in that being the first development car for the production Rover spec (at least that's what I was told via the forum a while ago) it is a converted MG ZT, I view it as ending up as a Rover after the company's work. Its starting point as logged by production data would be its MG ZT 260SE origin, and DVLA have that too.
