Hello I'm new here.

Next wednesday I am going to look at my first MG ZTT V8.

never had a car like this before, I have been doing lots of research on the internet, can anyone give me a quick check list for the car.

Its like I said a MG ZTT V8 260 SE, its in Xpower grey and 2004 car on 53 plate, its done 21,000 miles.

Many thanks

Stuart [aka Fleckers]

Could be either a Mark 1 or a facelifted car (first Mark 2 was made 04/02/04)

If it is a Mark 1 then it is a very rare car indeed...

MG ZT 260 Production run = 883 cars total

Of which the first 217 are Mark 1s, with the remainder being facelifted cars.

Of the 217, only 26 were Tourers.

If you want a rare car, then a Mark 1 ZT 260 Tourer is the way to go.

Mark 1 ZT-T 260s - Handbuilt Pre-production Cars

VIN #004
VIN #014 <-- This is a 385PS prototype
VIN #015
VIN #016
VIN #018
VIN #019 <-- Ex-P4 car in Biomorphic Green
VIN #022
VIN #023
VIN #025
VIN #026

Mark 1 ZT-T 260s - Production Cars

VIN #029
VIN #033
VIN #034
VIN #036
VIN #039
VIN #057
VIN #123
VIN #154
VIN #160
VIN #177
VIN #190
VIN #197
VIN #206
VIN #210
VIN #211
VIN #213

They are all SE spec except #014 - the only one with a '+' equivallent trim level.

The first official Facelifted 260 was a Tourer too, Vin #218

All 260s are a bit special, with such a low build number they would be, but the Tourers are pretty unusual and the Mk1 Tourer is the rarest of the breed.

I would be interested in the Reg and the VIN for the MGCC Archive (send to >> [email protected] << ), whether you buy it or not.

Welcome.

The reg would suggest its a Mk1,

Bit like waiting for Christmas Stuart. You okay on what to look for?

Hi Stuart,

Your profile doesn't say whereabouts you are? If you're anywhere near Surrey, you're welcome to come and see how a Mk1 ZT-T runs when it's all going well

Mine is the previously mentioned Biomorphic Green beast btw!

joncon · 8th March 2007, 21:56

just a quick one,
mine is number 217 . its a mk2.
or factory modded from mk1 into mk2 !

Scarlet Fever · 9th March 2007, 10:43

Joncon, there are a couple like this, Mark 1s retrofitted by the factory to Mark 2 spec - usually these were the press cars.

My data says that 217 is the last Mark 1 though, 218 was the first car to get the Mark 2 spec on the production line.

Incedentally mine is the first true Mark 1, i have VIN #27 and this (apparently) is the first production car, VINs 1 - 26 were all hand built prototypes and used for testing and gaining approvals etc.

-------------

Fleckers, thanks for the Reg number - if you could get the last three digits of the VIN (the build number) when you see the car then i can match the reg to the VIN in my database (we have the complete VIN sequences of the first 226 cars)
