Interesting find, is it worth it? Probably not.

It'll be the fan motor assy, which are prone to going on the R75/MGZT

Says it has had a new fan though Kev.

The way I interpret that ad is that replacing the radiator, pipes, thermostat and fan might have cured the problem, but as that was done only recently, it's not confirmed. So a bit of a gamble.

Personally, I wouldn't like to buy a car that I know has overheated in the past as who knows how hot and for how long and what hidden damage that might have to done to head gaskets etc...

Especially on a rapid responce vehicle where the car probably overheated on an emergancy run to save someones life?? - Car or human life... let the car suffer!

03 facelift? thought facelift wasn't until 04?

Does look cool but with all the lights and graphics removed it'll just look like any other ZT so not really worth it. Certainly not worth 3k even in perfect running order. Could get a diesel for that money.

Yeah, defo not worth that kinda cash with damage and engine problem. It'll likely have been driven hard cold a lot as well due to the nature of the work. It'd be cool with the sirens, lights and decals though, but they'll remove them before you get it :)

It could be on a private plate as the last 3 are CZT. I have seen a yellow ZTT ambulance response car a few times around Slough, could be the same one. If it is I think the driver used to be a member on XPF. I'd like to see this one come up for sale;

Possibly a promo car from MGR? was less than 12 months before the release of the 04 Facelift... so its possible?

All police/emergency vehicles should have been Zed's.

Would look nice in yellow on my drive next to the yellow ZS but it isn't a 260 :(
