    Welcome aboard Fraser, don't forget the questionnaire open up the rest of the site.

    Any assistance is at your finger tips. Imagine the help you have had so far on the 75&ZT club and add ownership knowledge to that and you have no worries at all.

    Hi, sounds like you've taken on a bit of work, but there's some good people on here that should be able to help get everything sorted

    Congrats on the purchase, lot of car for £3500 I'd say!

    With re-registering with DVLA, does that mean it will be a Q plate?

    Thanks for the warm welcome, I'm based in Leeds.

    In theory I could insure, pay and collect the car tomorrow, however I need to find out if it has any MOT remaining, it definitely needs tax which I believe the dealer can sort if I ask him, as this is usually part of their services?

    Got the message from Tim that my car is 075 so was the 75th off the production line on the 3rd November 2003. 75 made me smile, seems very fitting!!!

    Welcome aboard Fraser! You have a lot of rare and wonderful car for not much money at all....you also have perhaps the highest mileage of any V8 registered on this site...but don't let that worry you in the slightest...

    Welcome and enjoy the 260. I got 076 so found the older sister it seems.
    MG apparently used key#12 a lot for the nuts so you can always find one.
