I do believe you are correct as I remember trying to contact eaton superchargers at the time to get hold of a charger for my blue 180...

IIRC the reason the charger was removed was because there was some sort of agreement that eaton wouldn't make chargers for the KV6 after MGR went bust or something... but thats only from a vague memory fragment lol

Tell you what John... if you are ever down this way, or at an event that he is at, I'll introduce you to Andy who will spend hours talking to you about this car as if it was his own lol I think he thinks he knows more about the car than Ralph did

Nice one (or is that two) John.

It's proberbly that MGR owed Eaton money so they wanter to minimize their looses.

Im sure Ralph told me the charger got removed because it insisted on popping engines! Was on engine number 3 as one of the directors cars but got put back standard to sell on when the last one gave up the ghost.
Boot hill bandit did have the mould for the bonnet vent aswell fyi

Its good to know mate that someone who has been trying to track the car down for so long gets it in the end. All that hard work pays off


And having a sad ass mate that has nothing better to do than trawl the gumtree ads...

Well done on getting the zs-x, that is admirable determination and a great result for you and the car. Still looks as stunning as it did years ago, do you have a plan for it and it's twin?

Thanks :-)

The plans are to keep it as it is for now. It's how the story was laid out for it I guess.

at one point ralph had a supercharged engine but it wasn't a sprintex one if I remember rightly
