[Southside_ZS]

Anyone remember a few months ago the MK2/MK1, ZS/45, Solar red/Firefrost red, 1.8 Petrol/Diesel oddball on ebay?

Living in dream world.lol

Also just noticed it has MK2 dash with MK1 centre console?

Does look odd, Rover grill does it no favours. Looks a right poverty version.

Maybe one of the last ones out of MG and made up from the parts bin.

Or repaired by grabbing all the bits off the other MGR cars in the yard.

Dosnt look bad for the price, if its a derv, few ????'s spent on the right bits would look OK.

:whistle::whistle:

A 1.8l Derv??

Suppose it could be the PUG engine from the 218SLD.... ;)

[peterzs]

I reckon he just copied another advert and didnt change it to 2 liters derv engine.

I emailed him

Hi
Interesting car, Rover 45 mk1 front, MGZS mk2 rear, 1.8 enginge when all 45's and ZS diesels were 2.0 and those wheels are normally 16" except for the 18" version on a MGZT but they have a different stud pattern to the ZS and ZR so wouldn't fit.

Also the dash is a mix of mk1 and mk2.

Good luck selling such an unusual car.

[peterzs]

Be interesting if he replies, but dont hold your breath!!!

looks like it could be a ringer cut n shut car as its i kinda made me chuckle those alooys come on the mk1 1.6 as they are the same as my mums

The enquiry is complete

The vehicle details for AV54 VJU are:

Date of Liability 01 02 2011
Date of First Registration 22 12 2004
Year of Manufacture 2004
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1796CC
CO2 Emissions 174g/Km
Fuel Type Heavy Oil
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status Licence Not Due
Vehicle Colour RED
Vehicle Type Approval M1

Vehicle Excise Duty Rate for vehicle
6 Months Rate ?99.00
12 Months Rate ?180.00

So it is a 1.8 diesel, also if you do the search under a Rover it isn't found, only under MG, didn't know they did one.

[Simon's ZS-120]

they only make a 1.8 petrol not a diesel

[peterzs]

Sorry Mr Garage Man!!!!

:confused::confused::confused:

that link ownt work

[Andyf]

I wonder if it is a late registered MK1 that had a rear end shunt and ended up with a MK2 back end. The rear window isn't tinted like the rear side windows, could it have been smashed in an accident and replaced then not re-tinted?
Still confused by the dash though, if the airbags went off in a MK1 can you just replace the part they pop out from or would the dash need replacing? For the airbags to go off you would expect some front end damage which could account for the Rover grille. Just a thought.

Maybe DVLA made a mistake and the seller has copied it from the log book/DVLA website!

[Simon's ZS-120]

lol they do t diffrent diesel engine's both 2l but with diffrent bhp

[Southside_ZS]

It has been in a smash. When it was on ebay it said it was Cat C in the description. Its not cheap atall its a complete shed. The inside of the drivers door is Rover 400 kingfisher blue, Also has Rover 400 drivers door mirror.

Its such an odball its unreal. I dont get either why the inner door shuts/pillers are firefrost red but the outside it solar red.

[stamford]

It gets worse the more you look at it, looks like a 45 door card on the front passenger side. Smacks of a parts bin repair from the local yard and not registered as a repair.

[SticklesMickles]

Its a "bitsa" for sure.

Bit like mine, but i did it the reasonably right way, and that way is just gash.

[talkingcars]

I emailed him

and he replied

hi


Many thanks for pointing out these these things, i am selling this car on behalf of friend of mine and he has added all these extras him self just to make it look different and because he liked the older version rover 45 so much he added some of its parts to it, and also replaced the petrol engine to diesel so it gives more mileage on fuel, also got the colour changed to red which was burgundy at one point, you will hardly find Mg zs saloon with diesel engine in it, many thanks


regards Naved Muhumed

[Southside_ZS]

PMSL. Im not trying to be racist but the name says it all. "Sellin it for me brudda innit"

[p_b82]

:laugh: you might hardly find one but they do have a 2.0 not a 1.8 still lmao....

and why would you do that....

it is a horrible car and i fear for some poor sucker that buys it...!
