    Can't see anyone paying that kind of money.
    Is that a different one from the one SMC bought at auction a couple of months ago?

    I think it was A E Wilcox bought that V8 at auction and sold on quite quickly for £20K. A bit of a bargain compared to SMG!!

    That V8 has been in their showroom since the demise of MG/R in 2005.. They also have several other new 75/ZT's including a ZT190+ and a couple of CDTi's at £19995 each.

    SMG Bristol have maintained these high prices, and no real shock, still have stock!

    When I had my Mot done a few weeks ago at AE Wilcox he had a brand new ZTT Diesel in a nice dark red finish, all the protection paper and plastic was in place it even had the pen markings on the windscreen from the factory, I had a good chat with him and he told me he bought quite a few from the factory cheap when things folded.
    and as for the prices at SMC Bristol they had a ZR 3 years old for 11K crazy !

    The Wilcox car took a couple of months to sell. I know, as Tim Wilcox said he would be interested in mine when he sold his. Fortunately, I sold mine privately.

    Hi Guys,

    I think that I might be the ?lucky? culprit who bought the Wilcox V8, if the car you?re referring to is a Royal Blue (LK57 GDO). I?ve not long joined the web site and this is my first post.

    Are there any members in/around Southampton area? I?d be interested in getting together and going over the ?modifications? recommended for the V8s.


    Cheers for now

    Donald

    Yes lucky
