Drives really well and Vis motors work fine (noticeable kick at appropriate RPM) Air conditioning blows nice and cool when needed (not this last week!) All electrics work including spot lights / central locking / front electric windows / interior lights and clock etc Does not have parking sensors fitted Stainless exhaust sound meaty - but not tinny or too loud and does not drone on long motorway journeys Interior is good for a car of this age - only thing I can see that is noticeable is a very small fraying of the front passenger seat fabric where it joins the bottom of the left side leather bolster at the edge of the seat. Bodywork is OK with no rust - however for the sake of being totally open, following dings and marks noted: > Left hand side (mostly rear door but some front door) has a number of car park dings (scuffs) - these go away when the car is given a good polish but a clearly visible once the polish has faded or washed away over time / rain > roof has a small (size of a 50p) circular mark in the lacquer >boot lid has a scratch (2 to 3 cm length?) on the left side - polishing does reduce but it is reasonably deep >normal level of small dots in the paint on the front of the car consistent with small stone chips expected of a car this age >not visible unless getting low down - front left bumper (very bottom of valance under spot light) has a scuff consistent with scaring on a steep ramp / driveway > All four alloys have kerbing > Light scratches to rear drivers side arch Looking for best offer over £1225 NOW £875 or nearest reasonable cash offer - new car arrives in next week so need it to go.

Just thought about how many I've owned and the mind boggles. List below of all those I can remember: Montego 1.6 Countryman estate (F reg) - green and grey Montego 2.0i MG (H reg) - in bright red - my 1st MG Rover 220Gsi (M reg) - deep blue Montego 2.0i Countryman estate (K reg) - silver blue Montego 2.0i MG (T16 conversion) - BRG MG Maestro Turbo (F-eg) BRG Rover 820 Vitesse Sport Fastback - (L Reg) - Nightfire red Montego 2.0 Si - White over grey Montego 2.0i MG (H reg) - BRG - I broke this one in the end Montego 2.0 Turbo (H reg) - BRG Rover 620ti - (R Reg) - green blue MG Maestro 2.0i - Red (can't remember what reg year this one was) Rover 620i - (V reg) - white Montego Countryman estate (T16 conversion) - Nightfire red - 280bhp forged engine - this one was flipping rapid !! Rover 820 Vitesse Sport Fastback - (P reg) - deep blue MG Maestro Turbo (G reg) - BRG MG ZS180 Saloon (54 plate) - Grey MG ZS180 Saloon (54 plate) - Silver :no: |
Looks a lot like my list except I never have had any 200/400/600/800 series cars (had metros and 100's though).
Sadly the current MG co cars just do not follow their predecessors, I know a few MGR fans have followed through but for me they just don't have the same passion. |

It's a bit sad really, I remember the TripleM message board when it first started in the 1990s - was a great community and I learnt so much about the workings of the Montego and Maestros. First learnt about the T16 conversion on there and met some great people at the MG saloon day (does that still take place?) and other meets. This website has been similarly useful but things move on and the MG brand hasn't done enough to capture the imagination of existing customers or a new generation of enthusiasts (in my opinion) I've seen some of the same names and people on this and the Rovertech website that I used to see on the MMM forum so to me that proves there was a transition of enthusiasm from one generation of cars to the next that could have been capitalised on ... Shame really Dave |
I'm still in touch with a few peeps from the old triple MMM and even the old BBS board but virtually everyone has moved on to something else.

I toyed with the idea of keeping the ZS as a fun / track day or even show / event car but in the end couldn't justify the man-maths finance of it, plus I wouldn't realistically have the time. Dave |
