I'll let you off as that's quite the project you've got there

Thanks mate! : I like Le Mans, and besides, It's progressing quite nicely at the moment, and I'm not taking it apart again

Interesting reply form the selling agarge -

"Black Olive is Pearl Black laquer over Le Mans Green, it's a two stage paint and one of the more basic monogram colours - the car has not been resprayed. The engine bay has been sprayed the same colour as the rest of the car. Some of the laquer has peeled off in places from the heat / wear and tear which shows the Le Mans green underneath.
It's an 03MY car with an 04MY exterior (sans boot), but that doesn't make it a bad example by any means.
Mechanically the car is sound and it drives brilliantly, no different to any other 260 I've driven. While I would confess the car is not up to full enthuisast standard it is still a clean, used, example of an MG ZT-T"
Kind regards HG ltd

hhmmmm........the only cars that ever had lacquered engine bays were show cars, production line cars were just unfinished top coat......and if the lacquer did come off, you'd want to see the top coat not the base coat I'd have thought.

I wonder what their explanation is for the red paint under the front bumper?

[Keith]

well that's easy it was probably a pre production bumper

I never knew lemans green was the base
perhaps it never was resprayed then

seems odd the door shuts and some nuts and bolts are LeMans green though but as it is a really unique car I don't really mind

I went to view this car on Friday, I posted up on MGRover.org as the car threw up lots of questions in my mind as lots of little things didnt look right and made me wonder its origins. Rolled1 sent me over here to answer my questions.

All my concerns have been answered in the various threads on the car, the car is on the forecourt at the dealers and so far they have had the wheels refurbished and also had a few areas on the bodywork repaired where it was scuffed and scratched.
The paint finish on the car is dreadful, especially around the door openings and sills. Also the wear on the interior is odd considering the low mileage. What do people think is a fair value for the car ?

I already have a ZTT190 and Rover 75 Tourer CDTI, but my lust for a V8 ZTT needs to be fulfilled.

As to price, the car is what it is.

Although low mileage, it would have had a hard life in it's first 6 - 12 months as a development car.

There will be some bits that are unique on it as it would have been tinkered with by the factory.

Tourer's are rare so this adds to the value, but it's condition detracts.

Personally, (& knowing what it sold for at auction) I'd pay no more then £4500 for it....
