my previous MGs!
heres a couple of pics of my first ever MG (and my first car!). i bought this little Metro back in 1996 at the tender age of 17 and i loved it! so much better than the Novas and Fiestas my mates were tooling round in!

thats a good history mate, love the zaust on the blue ZS :D
what you thinkin of doing with the current ZS? :) |
I converted a 1.0(?) litre metro into an MG (all barr the engine lol). It was a complete work over and nothing was missing - other than the aforementioned engine - carpets, seat belt covers, dash and I even had it sprayed red before adding the decals. just wish I'd taken some pics.

Love the metro. Dont see many like that these days.
I had a MG Metro turbo when i was 18 (4 years ago) Most fun ive had on 4 wheels so far :) |

No, that's a GTM, originally known as Cox GTM in the late 60s IIRC.

As you say it is a GTM, it was one of the later one's I built it around 1985/6 great little car, Mid mounted Mini engine (1300GT in this case), built like a racing car, metal tub and fibreglass body. I have other pics but they are all on slide or negative, the prints were lost -I must get them onto the PC.... |
Here's my previous 3 MGs (all sold now)
MGB has been in dry storage for a few years now, think it needs some work. Silver 1600 Maestro has gone to car park in the sky I think Blue EFi is still going strong. (note to self: time goes way too fast. Pic was taken in summer '94) http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x...6315/myMGs.jpg |
My uncle has an MGB in storage. His wife hit a dog and it's not been out since it got repaired.. :(

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...o/KIF_1891.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...o/KIF_1874.jpg My Monty turbo (still have) great car!!! http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...o/KIF_3443.jpg ZR 160 (for sale) http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...0/DSCN0153.jpg and my new one to replace the ZR, ZS180 http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...Photo-0082.jpg |
Heres my current and previous MG's
Middle picture shows my 1st MG , my old ZR160 that was used as a display car at the BTCC in 2003/4. Was the 1st ZR to feature a full rally car body kit (though not shown in this shot) until every chav under the sun got hold of them ! Also had an Xpower re-map, one off custom built Scorpion group-N spec' exhaust (used as their donor car), 1st ever set of ABC black Magic rear lights and loads more mods'. Was dynoed at 194 BHP after being re-bored to a 1.9 ! Was also featured in Total MG before the car was completed. Was then stripped down and returned to 99% standard and sold in February 2006. This was the replacement, my 1st ZS180 - picture 1. Far more subtle than the ZR in appearance but it certainly had a bite ! Custom built Powerflow exhausts tuned to sound like a TVR, Green induction with custom mount and air feed, sports cat' and a superchip. Dynoed at 207 BHP this car really shifted ! Sold in June this year and replaced with my pearl black MK2 180 as shown in the 3rd picture ! |
