And yet another wanabe!

[cherrybusa]

Hi
yes I am another wanabe looking for a ZTT - preferably plain colour - can't quite live with the chromatics etc.
By way of intro live in SE London - I have a Fiat Multipla and a Sunbeam Tiger Mk1 - albeit in need of a welders torch again (has to be the worst designed car for rot ever conceived) also a few bikes - BMW Boxer RS, Guzzi Californian, Hayabusa, 1200 Bandit and a 1100LT BM brick.
Started looking last month and have seen a few ZTTs and missed a couple I liked by not being decisive enough!! Several around at moment so hopefully can get one soon. Not struck on SMC, also I do however wonder why the blue mk1 at hardy cars (eBay) does not sell, I read somewhere that it had problems but would have assumed those to be fixed - any thoughts?

Not my favourite colour, but for interest, the following MG ZTT 260 SE on autotrader for £8500, is now on Pistonheads for £10,995. the bloke selling it on Pistionheads hasnt even got the car yet, let alone paid for it.
beware if your after this cr - he's probably paid less than £8500 for it - so dont overpay.

nice looking car and the price is about right, expect to pay a little more if you find an SE of comparable age = but it might be worth it!
They do come around, despite the low number produced so it's worth waiting rather than rushing in. Good luck!

Little OT, but there is a RV8 Connoisseur SE listed too. Looks a great price too...

Found this one (see link below) on Thursday afternoon, it had been for sale (£10,850)for 17days, looked about perfect - the salesman new little about it except that it had 2 owners the first being the supplying dealer - he had to ask someone else about it. Made arrangements to fly up and hopefully buy it only to receive a call 1hr later saying it had been sold coincidence?? twas gutted.
I have noticed while looking that there are 3 dealers regularly supplying 260s and on occassions some cars that have been on ebay subsequently turn up two weeks later at £2-3K more being sold by them. The most recent being a dark blue saloon with MG transfers on the side that was being sold by elite.
The silver ZTT from autotrader that was on piston heads has disappeared again.

I don't know if your car has come from the same source, but I bought mine from a guy called Stephen Davies in Penarth, Cardiff. Although it was stored at another dealer he said he was selling privately and that the car had been his for a while but he was selling because he now had a saloon.
I see that he has another ZT-T advertised on PH at the moment!
The warning bells went for me when the registration document did not show his name and the dealer section was missing.
I hope that he's not trying to offload dodgy motors, I haven't had any unexpected problems with mine yet. More likely he's just trying to escape being taxed as a car dealer!
Has anyone else bought a 260 from him at all?

Which is the other one he is trying to sell?

Great looking car by the way, glad you are pleased with it.

I have to say I'm a little disappointed having read your post!
I was publicly clear on anohter forum that the shot silk car was previously owned by Nick Young, who personally advised me of it's whereabouts, following which I rescued it from a Volkswagon dealership. However, I soon decided I really didn't want an estate (my thoughts on car strategy change daily as we have kids/dogs etc) and passed on to Monty Smith MG Rover dealers to sell on my behalf on a sale or return basis. However, I beat them and sold it before they managed too!
The bittersweet saloon is my other car and I'm selling it as I am having a company Honda Civic S-Type GT 2.2 i-CDTI in 2 months time!

Nice to have to justify myself to the masses though!

Regards

Steve
