Default What a Disgrace ! MK1 with bodge'd MK 2 front end

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MG-ZT-CDT...IAAOSwPAxaHUNv



just take a look at this list's it's faults but fails to state bumper doesn't fit at the front, price wise he's sniffing illegal stuff

And its a 150 bhp

Now, the car features the following;

MK2 front end ............................. falling off
Xenon Headlights
Rain Sensing Wipers
Rear Parking Sensors
Smooth Automatic Gearbox - Drives and changes very well
137k Miles
Mud Flaps all round
Cruise Control

Bad Points -

Dented passenger side rear door as you'll see from the photos, there is also a crease in the rear wheel NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- drivers side. Very frustrating as they detract from an otherwise stunning car, impressive to drive and had all the common faults rectified.

I think that’s one of Tom Force’s cars, I’m sure my mate Tony told me the other day.

Takes skill to get a bumper to fit that badly . . . . bumper colour looks lighter than the rest of the car as well.

Indeed. A very novel way to spell 'arch'.

I owned this car until c.June 2015. Seems like she's had an eventful couple of years since she left my driveway! She was far from stunning when I had her and I don't think her subsequent years have been kind. Not to say she was a bad'n as she did me well for the 2.5 years are had her, but there were/are far better examples out there.

Here she is prior to sale:

If this is a 'barn find', I would suggest reversing it back into said barn.
