My car
 Haven't a clue where it was used, probably a dealer demonstrator or something I would guess but a press car it is. Possibly might be in David's list above as we've both discussed them before (reg is Y876BOH). |

mg zt-t press car
Hi there, just a quick question and hope you may be able to help.
two years ago i purchased a zt-t to add to my collection,it was purchased through a rover dealer direct from the factory. i was told that it was a press car and then went on to be an engineering car. the service history is stamped ,'MG rover group engineering fleet' and lists what had been done prior to the sale. reg no; bx02rgv it is a zt-t 160ps turbo manual in la mans green , could anyone shed any light on it ? |

Hello Rabett Rover, Just to let you know that I have just purchased an MG ZT 180 SE it is saloon in Monogram Aubergine & is stamped 'Press Car' inside the hand book the Longbridge garage was the comissioning garage not a dealer, the car has every extra on-board including a highly finished paint finish under the bonnet which I have been told is not normal as is the paint colour is not common. The reg number is BP54 KGK there are some pictures of it if you follow my user name smifffy, can you see what else you can find? let me know if you need any more info Regards Alan
