My second zs in a month

MG ZS+ PART 2

Abit of history on the car

After selling my last one about 2 weeks ago in search for a van,my boss decided to tell me I could go with him and wouldn't need a van for at least a year so I went on the search for another.

Well I found and bought this car off autotrader about a week ago,I told him to hold It for me and I would collect on 11th Jan.True to my word I set off to rainham in essex to pick the car up.The mg Is a 02 plate zs+.It's had 1 owner with full service history and only 67k on the clock.drives like new and handles alot better than my last one








After a confusing train journey on the tube





And a little walk from the station



I picked it up and went for abit of food :cool:



PLANS

Paint the wheels Either white or gunmetal grey

Exterior

I have full service history with cambelt,headgasket and all other major bits been done.new tyres recently and a battery and brake change within the last 5k miles.I bought it off a garage that took it in as the guy needed cash for xmas.was struggling like mad to get his details but found his contact number on the phonebook website.I found out he gave the garage owner 2 keys but they only gave me 1.pretty upset about that but he said he will go down and get it and post it me.He seemed to be early 60's late 50's as he removed the original cd player for a tape deck

all in all though,very happy

His details will be on the reg document as the previous keeper. The fact that they didn't give you the spare is a concern. Ask him about the CD player. I bet you the garage had it away

The key coupled with your address would be worth £100 to a thief.

Is that an FAI head gasket that you've bought? I personally would not recommend the FAI gasket.
