Isn't there someone that is or was on corrie with a couple tucked away somewhere?

The car has been for sale for a long time. SMC in Slough lent it to MG Enthusiast Magazine in February 2006 & it was on their stand at the Stoneleigh MG show.

As much as I would like a 385 I would sooner go for one of Brian Luti's efforts; cheaper and even more power! Plus he has a wealth of knowledge about the set up. Oh, iirc the quad cams didn't fit in the engine bay Keith, they did go in the coupe thing though.

Things look proud of the engine bay is the bonnet modified as well?

Looks like the bonnet is standard, that blower must be almost scraping the bonnet! Nice car though.
Any interest in yours yet Keith?

By the way I had a Stag for 15 years. Think I've still got a bag of new bits buried at rear of garage.

Kevin Howe had one as his personal car for a while.

The car was originally built for John Edwards who was the marketing director (so called) of MG Rover. Was just another to add to his fleet!

I met another of his V8's a couple of weeks ago at the Oxfordshire MG event. This was a Bittersweet ZT260SE with monogram seats & the sidesill & rear bumper extensions fitted. I asked the owner if I could buy it. lol

Been a busy few days since I put it on Autotrader loads of enquiries and grief from only one canvassing outfit so possibly getting a deposit on it tomorrow so it may have a new owner shortly.

As for the stag I have, it is shall we say a bit of a long term project, I have nicknamed it scam (some components are missing) as that is a fairly good description of what I bought. I might not go ahead with the work needed as it could be a money pit, I just have fond memories of the one we used to use in 1978. It might be cheaper to buy one with the work already done and use the one I have as a cheap source of parts but that would mess up the ZTT 260 fund
