My Typhoon has everything except DVD.
Not including standard plus spec on ZT, mine comes to £31,135.
I always thought it must’ve been a very special order vehicle, the original buyer literally ticked every box on the options list. Only thing missing is DVD player and the drivers seat memory function.

The primertallic one would have cost just shy of 28000 new, I'm glad I didn't buy it new and have it be worthless four months later following the demise of MGR, when you couldn't give them away.

I recall looking at a brand new ZT=T 260 at Reg Vardy in the autumn of 2005, and with a full options pack, less than 200 miles on the clock.........it was priced at twelve grand

My 190SE would be just a nat's under £26k when new, it didn't originally have the SE pack but now has HK, memory seats, rear blind and powerfolds but I don't know how much more this pack would have been on top.

I reckon it's probably now the equivalent of a £30k+ spec car when it was new.

The Yellow 75 was built 48 hours before closure but that doesn’t count as the Phoenix Four paid for it at a probable reduced rate, however, the Cimerron 1800 nasp was registered 4 days before closure and thought to be the last 75 sold from our local dealer before MGR ceased trading, we are second owners. £16,812 with the only option of a wooden gear knob. As part of the last car allocations they received a V8 which I think sold for around 15k and is still local I believe...

I’m struggling to remember what is standard trim for the 75 tourer if anybody wants to work out what the original cost would of been?

My 54plate ZT V6Auto etc. misses out on T/Control and illuminated sunvizors only. Mind you when I got it there was a "birdsnest" Shannon tube, peeling paint front bumper, a defunct fan control thingy, and a dodgy waterpump. Mind you I forgive all those as it had electric folding mirrors, cruise control and a electric sunblind. I know the important things in life Its a lovely car and a treat to drive. Chris.S.

What you've all saved on your cars in insignificant compared with the potential savings over the same period if you ate just 25% less and turned the heating down to 18 degrees centigrade during the winter!

You'd also be healthier and could afford to spend mpore on the cars.

Yes that's a good idea, eat less, turn the heating down, save money to spend on the car.

Or have the heating set at a level that is comfortable, eat whatever you find pleasurable in moderation and spend what is necessary to keep the car running and in good order.

Or don't heat your house, eat bread and water, and run several cars.........what a grim thought

I've just finished a plate of beef and green pepper in black bean sauce with fried rice, I don't have this often, but as a treat it's fine.

Ok now tell me about the dangers of MSG

By not indulging in such excesses for a few months, you could have had a rear curtain in the car, Brian.
