Here we go again

I tried to many times to get back into a Zs but its just not for me for some reason I cannot fall in love with this brand again. I really want to go retro and enjoy motoring again... see how it goes anyway. Be a shame to break this for parts as its worth a lot in that form.

2003 MG ZS 180 - 211bhp
60k miles iirc ( need to confirm )
belts changed 3 years ago
Piper 270 cams
lightweight flywheel
Type B Diff
Wilwood brakes (310mm)
Lightweight Rota Boost alloys
Piper exhaust with de cat
Cobra LE mans front seats
leather rear seat with headrests
uprated speakers all round
sony cd head unit
Sub and amp (fly i think)
ITG Induction Kit
Sheddist clutch kit
Catch Tank
Rover 45 steering wheel (much nicer)
Electric rear windows
New inlet 6 months ago
Polybushed engine stabilizers
X power gearknob
Motobuild oil cap


Overall this car is lovely, there are the odd parking dints and no scratches I can find. The wheels are immaculate with good rubber.

She is quick with 210 odd bhp the lightweight flywheel etc make such a difference and the diff allows you to plant the throttle where ever you like.

MOT until September 2013, no tax.

one disk is slightly warped so I have purchased new disks and pads for her from GBE. There is actually two sets of new pads for the car.

£2200

Going to happen after a while and what you've done with your cars - even since I've been here you've owned the best of them. This is another one. Came from a racing outfit didn't it ? Sure I posted pics on another thread a while back for the owner then. Too much for me which is a shame....

nah was owned by Matt Bigfella on xpf.

If I had the space I would genuinely keep this in a garage sorned until I felt the need to take it out but I don't have the space for two toys at the moment

That was quick! I can understand your position, as Dan has said you've had them all and have run out of viable options so understand the change ahead. Don't blame you wanting something retro, I would myself if I had the money as most I like are going for silly money these days. Great spec ZS as well, worth the money I would say.

Sad to see a nice car up for sale again. I don't think you'd live an MG again unless it was a touring car build!

Sad and a shame to break, but if you need the money sharpish for that V8 monster ....

I'd be interested in the induction set up.

yeah it really is a shame and sadly in todays world may be the only way to get my money back this owes me £2300 and i worked out it breaks for around £2500 before paying for time and fees etc.

Ideally I would like to sell as is.
