Can anyone help me locate a MkI SE in Trophy Blue?

[Exile_Brummie]

Hi Everyone, I've been a member since July, but this is my first post. I'm looking for a Mk I SE in Trophy Blue (they seem as rare as Rocking Horse pooh!). I currently have a Mk I 190+ in same colour which I love, but now desperately want to acquire a 'big sister' V8.

I'm not a DIYer, so all maintenance would need to be professionally done. I'm located in Oxfordshire, so any help locating an honest, reliable service outlet would also be welcome (so I'm ready as soon as my V8 baby arrives).

There are some magnificent examples on this great website. I hope I can become a full & proper member soon.

Shame....my MKI is starlight silver, but TB is a lovely colour.

Certainly Trophy Blue is a very very rare V8 colour. One club member certainly has one, but sadly (from your point of view) I don't think he's selling!

Hi and welcome!

I believe 15 or more were made in this colour, so it's just a waiting game!!

As for looking after it, there's AE Wilcox at Wickwar Near Bristol that look after several and it's also worth driving to Nick up at Austin Garages (who owns a V8 ZTT and is also a member on here), no doubt others can make other suggestions for you.

Hi Exile Brummie, I know there is the odd Trophy Blue MG ZT 260 around, but I don't recall seeing one for sale recently (?), however, if you do change your mind and fancy a change, then I have a lovely show winning MG ZT 260 SE MkII in Poseidon Chromeactive for sale at £8400. Let me know if you're interested. Know you'll lurve whichever V8 you buy!!

There was one on Ebay(?) not long ago (with unusual wheels) and there was one with some minor damage on copart.

Keep watching the usual places, ebay, Autotrader and Pistonheads, you never know.

But go and drive one, after the first toe-in-the-water, colour doesn't become an issue!!

There's one tucked up in my garage, but sorry, it's not for sale

I've seen at least two others though, so you never know, keep looking!

Cheers,

Justin

You have a Private Message.

Ok, maybe as a newbie you don't know about private messages (PMs)..?

Top right of the screen, click on "Private Messages"

Anyway the bottom line is that 077 will shortly be for sale. PM me if you're interested and I''ll reply with contact info.

What's the reason you're selling my big sister (I'm #076) if I may ask??
