    Default MG ZT-T 135 + Firefrost Red May 2004

    The time has come to pass "Frosty" on to a new owner due to a change of circumstances so I'm putting him up for re-homing (a little bit reluctantly but you have to roll with the punches as it were).

    Here's his specifications

    Registered May 2004 so he's a facelift model
    64,000 miles
    ZT-T 135 + diesel spec with the usual refinements (real 131ps not an X Power upgrade).
    Red Alcantara seats that look fantastic with the Firefrost Peal paintwork.
    Tax till next June
    MOT next May
    FSH but MGR dealers (pre MGR closure and after)
    Kenwood stero and 6 disc changer
    Good rear tyres approx 5 to 6 mm left on them
    Front tyres being changed in next few days.
    Some scuffs to the body work as you would expect on a car of this age.
    Scuff to offside rear bumper where someone took a fancy to it in a car park but nothing dramatic (I have a tub of touch up paint!)
    Some scuffs to alloys but they were there when I bought the car.
    Brand new discs and brake pads all round in the last 1000 miles
    Currently has a Rover Ron box fitted that I will sell with the car if it goes to someone on a forum, otherwise I'll take it off and sell it separately.
    Has been a total pleasure to own and drive.

    Would like to see the car go to someone who will enjoy their time with it and look after it.

    £6,250 ono.

    If you're interested, please drop me a Pm and I can arrange a viewing/test drive and so on.

    Currently has a private plate on that will be taken off and hopefully reverted back to original plate.

    Thanks

    Nic

    Looks stunning, I'm sure it will find a new home quickly.

    Have you still got the original injectors? If so probably not for long I think

    Nope, still got car, hasn't gone yet.

    Am thinking that I'm going to have to pull the proce down again to get some interest

    Not the best of time to be selling cars I know, but hey, gotta give it a go!

    I see you've sold it Nic. What have you replaced it with?

    Well it's been replaced with what some may think is total madness - however, I'm now drinking the right kind of fuel - petrol instead of diesel and I'm now 50bhp behind you 260 owners now having jumped from 131 to 210 and it's the last Rover Group/MGR product (as far as I'm concerned anyway) to come out of Longbridge.





    It's taken some finding but a fine example of a Mini Cooper S Works!! with some toys and now I've gone from a red set of seats to a blue set of seats!!

    looking forward to this one for a bit! Logic seems a bit of centre I know, but there are some reasons behind it most notably financial, but simply because (other than a 260) there is nothing out there at the moment that I think compares to the ZT/ZT-T in terms of VFM, drive-ability and so on. This comes rather close as it was done by the same chassis team so it does feel a tad similar to my ZT-T.

    These aren't my pictures by the way, these are the chaps who has sold him to me, I'll get some proper ones!!
