I just bought a ZT 2.5 auto for partly the same reason - didn't want to end up in a situation where I'd invested in the bodywork on my 75 diesel then have to pay charges if I wanted to nip into Liverpool or Manchester a couple of years down the line. I need to get the VIS motors sorted and just had to do the thermostat but other than that I'm really happy with her - the V6 sounds awesome and it's all MG Rover instead of half German. Only issue is she drinks the petrol so I'm going to convert to gas. The computer says 25mpg but my own calculations suggest more like 22 - I don't floor it all over the place but I don't take it easy either. Mine just had the belts done when I bought her which is good as they're pricey if you're not doing it yourself. I'd say go for it!
