Odd, are you sure it is a zs and not a 45 made over to look like a zed.

The mk2 came in at around middle of 2004. There are 1.6 in mk1 guise as I said earlier think they came in 2003.

Looking at some of your old posts, this has come up before.

I think you may have a 1.6 R45.

Mines a 1.6 entry moddel and drives + handels better than the mk1 1.8 we have in work so I think there isnt much different really

When you check the reg it shows as an MG ZS.

weird one

Yeah, scratch the bit about it being a R45, I've checked the vin on both our zs and the both show up RT which is Rover 400, so you can't tell from the vin if it's a zs or not.

Your profile says yours is a 2003 1.6. So is it a 2001 or 2003?

If its 2003 then it is a ZS 1.6. The exhaust cut out and 16" wheel can be easily changed. If its a 2001 then it is all abit strange.

Is that not about right when the first 1.6 appeared?
