View Full Version : My garage queen ZS...

I'm quite embarassed that I don't drive and enjoy her as much as I should do.
New pictures with a new Monogram steering wheel fitted.
I've just bought a new car so was thinking about selling up but considering the four years I've had her, the money I've spent on bits and pieces and the condition, she's worth way more to me than the market value, so I don't think I could ever sell even if I tried hard!

Thanks :)
It's done low miles (39k) and has a full MG history, but yet would only be worth around £2k-£2.5k, £3k tops; the Janspeed kit was half that amount!

Beautiful motor bud, mine is not even 33k Mk2 and I picked it up for £1850.
No value in them :(

Going off the picks i would say 45 headlights and a itg intake at the least
Love it lots

Looks lovely, always say less is more with modifying and this looks spot on

What do you use to get the engine bay that clean? I think that is the clenaest one I've seen.
Nice choice on wiper blades too.

I'd give my left testicle for this car, infact you can have them both!!
Mine will never be as nice as this one :(
If you ever sell I'd be very inclined to make you an offer. :)

Ironically I was thinking of selling it a little while ago when I got my Elise, but wasn't sure if I could bear to let it go for what they're worth (which is ****** all!).

I just keep on top of it cleaning wise, regular wipes with a clean cloth dipped in water does it. If I have to clean anything else I use Autoglym Engine & Machine cleaner.
Awesome looking 180 reminds me of the one i had that was a minter also

Gooo on Dave... you know it makes sense!
You need a great FWD car to sit next to your RWD one :)

£3,200 Ono, 41k miles with full (every service done on time including belts) MG history, 4x matching tyres with at least 4mm tread, full Janspeed including decats, ITG induction kit, 2nd set of brand new Monaco seat covers, lots of trophies won...more detail required? :)

The car looks pristine, a real credit to you. Good luck with the sale.
p.s were you at MG Live 2010 on the pride of ownership stand? I think I was parked in front of you with a silver zr 160,and you won a trophy then iirc?
Captain Slow
08-12-13, 09:21 PM
That's me, I remember chatting to you about your ZR, that was a lovely car, beautifully done and well looked after.

Ahh awesome, we did chat! And your trophy was well deserved as the car was very clean all round. My brother had the ZR from me in March 12 and we then sold it to a classic car dealer in Nov 12. But I had a mk1 tb zs 180 similar to yours after the ZR for a year. Dec 12 I bought a Audi a3 3.2 V6 S line and kept it for 7 months and am currently back in celestial blue zr 160 plus the zs 180. Two MG's better than 1 Audi lol

I'm still debating as I do love it but a reasonable offer will prize it away from me.

Lovely ZS indeed.. but even with the low miles and condition, you may struggle to get that money for it. As was said, no value in them unfortunately. Keep it.
Captain Slow
Are you the same person that raced the Honda?
