Cool I'm all excited......................

............................yes, even at my age.

There are not a lot of things that get me excited these days. But today is different, for today I have received a phone call from the editor of the MG Enthusiastis Magazine. He wants to do a feature on "The Flying Banana". Hoping to get over to Fairlop Waters for the photo's.

That's great new's mate
It's about time that the MG ZT saloon got a bit more coverage in the MG publications as most of the time they hardly get a mention..
Articles such as this can only help the ZT/75 to get noticed as the future classic that we hope they will become.
Cheers Ian

I think its inevitable Ian, the quality of these cars will be more appreciated as time goes by. Often people realise this when they get into a 75/ZT for the first time and given a chance to compare the quality to their rubbish cheap euro excuse for a car.

Well done Bob.

That'll make a great article and hopefully encourage folk to think about the ZT as a possible next purchase. Let us know when it's going to be published

Well done Bob, it'll make a great article and there should be some stunning photography

We once appeared in the Dec 2010 issue of Mini Magazine with Julie's Mini Pickup project
6 years on, and it's still a project
