    Default Roush Supercharged MG ZT 260 Mk 1 SE

    I know I'm going to regret this but the time has come to let #138 go and after over 13 years of ownership, this is a very reluctant sale.

    Roush Supercharged MG ZT 260 Mk 1 SE 127,000 miles £11,000 ovno

    These photo's were taken today (28th).

    It is in great condition for its age and mileage but having only done about 2000 miles in the last 12 months, I'm just not using it enough to justify keeping it. I also need to free up some space.

    This car has had a few upgrades making it somewhat unique. The main upgrades are: -
    • Complete engine swap in 2011 at 85k for an unused MGR factory Roush Stage 3 engine with supercharger as fitted to the MG SV-S.
    • The whole rear stuff up was replaced in 2015 with an unused old stock one, completely rebuilt including blasted and repainted (POR15) frame, diff, drive shafts, springs, dampers and brakes.
    • The whole front stuff up was replaced in 2016 with an unused old stock one, completely rebuilt including blasted and repainted (POR15) frame, steering rack, springs, dampers and brakes. The gearbox and clutch were also replaced at the same time.
    • Complete colour change in 2016 from the original Starlight Silver to MG Orange Grove Supertallic. This was a doors off, engine out respray to keep the sight of the original colour to a minimum.
    • New uprated fuel pump and mini remap in 2017.


    Other smaller upgrades
    • K&N air filter
    • Black Olive heater valve upgrade.
    • Replacement audio head unit with sat nav, SD card reader and single slot CD. This still uses the original amplifier and speakers.
    • The original wheels were replaced.


    The car does have a few niggles, which most of these cars do. They are not massive problems and don?t affect the enjoyment at all.
    • Occasionally the heating will do its own thing and not respond to controls.
    • A flat spot when changing gear but only if you are driving hard and full throttle.
    • A minor oil leak from the diff.
    • The wheels would benefit a refurb.


    The car is always garaged and stays in there in very bad weather. It has been regularly serviced, with all receipts and stamps and is due an oil change service now. I also have a file full of receipts and past MOT?s etc. Current MOT expires 19th October 2021. I also have a small stash of spares, which will be included if sold at the asking price.

    The car will be listed on AutoTrader in a couple of weeks.

    Something for you Jeremy? You always said you fancied a bit of 'Roush-ness'
    You know the car well, I imagine, from meets over the years.

    Since 2014 all the work has been done by Retro Sprortscars in Brighouse. Before that it was M&G, MG Rover Specialists in Bradford and JCT600 in Wakefield.

    The Supercharger install was done by Linden Cahill of Huddersfield MOT Centre. Linden is a member on the forum.

    Linden was also was the man who fitted my replacement engine in my KB supercharged car. He stripped and cleaned the supercharger with guidance form Scooter. Linden knows his way around these cars.

    A sad day today. Just watched old #138 drive off with its new owner back to Southampton.

    Hopefully he will be along soon to say hi.

    I'll keep popping in to see what's happening. Hope to be at Longbridge and MGLive next year.
