Odd there's no pics of the interior (except the dials).

No reports of misuse is #189 and came off the production line 20/1/04. Is a standard ZT. Ask John for some pics of the inside.

The inside is recorded as Ash/dark smokestone

Hahaha I thought the same about the engine being traversed, if that was poss we could have a 4x4 now that would be cool.


As for the price, and so it should be, time to get all variants of the 75/MG cars appreciated for what they are

Nice looking motor. A good deal for someone. If looked after it can only appreciate in the long term.

Hopefully there'll be a few Rover V8s around when I retire in two years so I can treat myself (anything but silver, anything but black interior).
