Not bad for 113,000 miles?

Thought my daily drive deserved a bit of a clean and detail today..

Only a 1.4 but a fun little thing!

I wish!, next job is to get the front bumper completely repaired and resprayed. A set of 17" straights ready for a refurb in silver sparkle.

Then I am seriously thinking of taking her off the road, storing her away in a garage I think I might have access to, and replace her with a non MGR more modern alternative.

Most ZR's are run on a absolute shoestring by youngsters and/or modded to extremes. No one seems remotely interested in preserving one or two, less so keeping them original.

That is fantastic. Some of these cars that the "pundits" like to belittle so often are proving to be fabulously durable and remain good looking - of course credit to you for keeping it so, too.

That really is a great looking car, and I like the K series in it's "original" smaller capacity form it's a great engine.

Quick thought flashed to mind when looking at the lovely pictures...
....can these little cars have a remap like their bigger Aunts and Uncles?

We have a '55 ZR for the wife to drive . I call it the go-kart because of its rock-steady handling and nippiness

Notice your headlights are very clear ; have you had to work on them or have you been lucky ?
