No recent pictures as she needs a wash but watch this space.......

Basic details
MOT due at the end of the month.
Tax due at the end of January
Mileage is 119k
Not used her since May but stuck a battery in tonight and she started first turn of the key
I plan to use her for a few days and chuck her in for an MOT.
Commission no. 651 - Dec 12th, 2001.

Good bits
Rover 45 headlights in good condition.
Philips Blue Lighter headlight and full beam.
LED side light and number plate bulbs.
Genuine Citron mist jet washers.
Aero wipers (6 months old).
Sheddist.
Bumper relocated in boot.
Wired for steering wheel remote although standard wheel currently fitted.
MGF interior mirror.
Rover 800 central doom light.
Half leather seats with grey inserts.
Electric windows front and rear - rears are not easy on an early mk1.
Brakes are either brand new 2 years ago (rear) or recon (front) last year and fitted with EBC yellow stuff pads.

Bad bits
Oil leak - bit like a 1960's British motorbike, leaves a couple of drops.
(Garage wanted to change all the gaskets but I suspect it's the oil cooler.)
3 of the door handles are failing - I have sourced some new ones but they need painting - paint included.
Engine cover missing (I need to find it in the garage).
Resonator box not fitted (it is in the boot).
Duplex exhaust removed so there is an empty cut out in the bumper, shield still in place (unless buyer wants to pay £400 for the exhaust).

I have owned her for nearly 6 years and she still makes me smile when I see her.
The only reason I am selling is that I can't justify or afford two ZS saloons as well as my wifes little used ZR, as well as the MGF as well as the T16 maestro.
