I'm back !!!

[Dan1971]

Got caught up in a bit of an Ebay last minute bidding frenzy, and haven't been paid for the ZT-T yet ..... but hey ..... Just got a Black Mk1 .... Bagged a bargain !!!

[Stephen]

Congratulations, and if its the one i think you got a bargain!

[Dan1971]

Congratulations, and if its the one i think you got a bargain!

Were you watching it ? Apparently it had 63 watchers.....Spoke to the guy on the phone and collecting tomorrow !

[Stephen]

Think the previous owner was Marty!;)

[Jay-ZS+]

You gonna want to spray this one white too?!! Bet you cant wait :) If it is martys old one then least you know its been well cared for

[LozMachine]

Nice one! , ya cant go wrong with a black mk1 imo , best colour by far :mbounce:

[Dan1971]

Think the previous owner was Marty!;)

Yeah it was .... as he took it in when he got his ZS Express, but the belts done !

Picking it up later today.

I know it needs an induction kit as he put the OE one back on, and catch tank having spoken to Marty already. One of the vis motors is a goner, as he did have one on order.

When I get it home later. I'll be making a wish list as I've got a few quid left over in the budget (4-500), having got it for a really good price.

[Phate]

Gotta be induction, decat and catch tank with that money left over :)

EDIT: Congrats by the way :)

Not sure about a de-cat as there's some sort of aftermarket exhaust on there so it might (fingers X'd) even have one already !

I might be in touch re the induction and catch tank for you to help (read into that do, while I watch and learn whilst making T) fitting !!

[Phate]

lol me?

So because (albeit with lots of help) removed and done a load of work then refitted my engine and done a thermostat change I'm a rover expert now? :p

Perhaps not then ..... :whistle:

[Phate]

I wouldn't mind helping you dude if you wanted a hand. Was only playing :)

I like working on MG's anyway - s'all gooood :)

[Phate]

And for the record I did Lukes Thermostat change all my by self. Yay!

[Dan1971]

Good on you .... :thumbsup:

[afcbadam]

martys had an induction kit on it. and an exhaust, and sheddist cluch kit iirc. you got a good car dan.

how much was it????

[Yampiedog]

Congrats on the new family member, a black one too the second best colour ;)

[Alan.F]

Nice to meet you today Dan when you collected the ZS hope you got back ok, It still has the Exhaust and the sheddist kit but Marty had removed the induction kit and returned it to standard, he had also removed the coil overs from the rear and the front ones were knocking so they have also been removed and we refitted the standard shockers Marty had supplied.

Ahem :hmmm: :laugh:

Like-wise Alan, and your car in the flesh looks good on those Alloys. Also got the TF wheel still on there ... Red and Black, matching the interior trim which is in good nick.

Got back safe and sound mate thank you .... The car drove really well. Held a straight line without pulling anywhere, wheel dead centre, picked up really nicely and sounded really good too even without an induction kit on . CD player was fine, although there appears only to be rear speakers and I'll have to connect up the aerial ... ? Maybe there was another connection I didn't see, so I'll have a play around over the weekend.

Tell you what though ... having the bonnett raised up slightly at the windscreen end, made me double my braking distance. I reckon in a head on it'd take my head off !!! That's going to be the first thing to get sorted out. I'd also forgotten how loud and bumpy the ride is compared the the ZT-T. and .... how brutally quick !!!!

All in all ... Really happy. True bargain has been had.

Just for you Adam .... £1315. (Belts just done) :punk:

[mattie007]

£1315?? Thats a steal. Did it come with the carbon spoiler?

[Alan.F]

£1315?? Thats a steal. Did it come with the carbon spoiler?

No Marty had removed that and the carbon engine cover

[Dan1971]

£1315?? Thats a steal. Did it come with the carbon spoiler?

He replaced it with a Matt Black one .... Looks really good to be fair and matches the Matt wheels. :thumbsup:

[Jay-ZS+]

£1315 thats a bargin how many miles if you dont mind the ask, Whenever I hear someone picking up a 180 for that sort of money really tempts me to upgrading mine! :)

[stamford]
