Then I will tell you...

I'll look tonight when I get home from work Lewis and let you know.

Thanks again.

Many Thanks for that, I'm well pleased with her, it was hard to leave x-power grey behind but falling for the charms of green.

Not sure that Mg had a british racing green, I'm sure they gave it some other name just can't remember what!

Regards

Coolcat (Jeff)

Need to change my avator picture!!!!

Thankyou,

I hope she gives me as much pleasure as my last one ( ohh err )

Photo's are the easy bit, motorsport and motorsport photography are my life!

Weapon of choice for the last two pictures is a Canon eos 7d paired with a sigma 150-500mm lens (a.k.a. bigmo) for those who have any interest in the subject

I'll try and get round to some interior shots soon.

By the way two of the wheels have light curbing on them so I need to get them refurbed and was thinking of maybe getting them all done in gunsmoke.
Open to any opinions on how that would look on the car.

A person by the name of Rim Doctor came out to do my Serpents. I have his number if you would like it as he was very good!

Hi Lewis,

Yes that would be great, perhaps you could pm me with his details.

P.s. the paint code is h q m on the car.

Do you think I should keep the wheels the same as they are or gunsmoke like the apex alloys on some of the v8's?

You have a Goodwood Green MG ZT-T Jeff

Reebs might like a picture of it for his 'many colours' thread as he doesn't have a real picture of one.

I think you should go for the Standard 'Silver Sparkle' Finish. I looks really good when refurbed.

Thanks once again Lewis,
That's nice to know.
I'm off to the Goodwood Festival of speed again next year so the car will feel right at home

As promised some pictures of the interior, nothing special just a few snap shots.
I'll P.m Reebs to see if he wants me to email him the pictures.

I'm a big lover of the ZT-T.

It was either/or between that and a 75 Tourer when I was looking.

She looks a peach - enjoy

Many thanks again.

It was a case of having to sell my zt as it just wasn't practical to lug my photography equipment around and I couldn't get my bike in the boot.
I was having to use my works van for load lugging and leaving the car at home and also I fancied a bit more grunt than the oil burner.
But the best thing..................the sound

The worst thing as I'll no doubt find out.................fuel, but you only live once so what the hey!!
