    I'm pretty sure that's a members car "malcolm" he has posted pictures on the site before.

    I have not seen the car in the flesh but the pictures look good.

    He may come along and comment.

    I have spoken to him, and all seems in good order, however it would have been great if someone had actually seem the car close up.

    Hi, and thanks.
    I have been lurking for some time now waiting for the right time to pounce, Usually I frequent some of the other MG Rover forums (dark and light), so quite familiar and own quite a lot of MGR stuff only the V8 remains elusive for me so far!!!

    Nothing like a V8 I'm afraid. A 111i, 414s, 75 SE Tourer and a TF160, oh and T4 diagnostics if that counts.

    Been searching some car valuation sites, interestingly the 75 V8 in some cases is almost £1500.00 cheaper than the ZT V8, With the 75 V8 being an auto would that make the difference in price or are there other things that make the 75 cheaper?

    Malcolm the owner told me quite openly that his 75 V8 has a little damage on the chrome surround premium grille and little bit too on the honeycombe grille, so it does not help as the parts are very rare if not impossible to get hold of.
