Hi
Nice looking car but sorry to disappoint you, assuming the picture of the engine is of the one in your car then it is a "Not the usual rubbishy mg rover k series". The four cylinder engines are known as K4 and the V6 is a K series V6 so called the KV6. It also has a Rover PG1 gearbox and everything else is Rover as well. The ZT has a lot of BMW bits although the petrol engines are all K4 or KV6.

Also the suspension is all MG/Rover - a design team from Rover spent £10m completely redesigning the suspension so it isn't the same as the earlier Honda of a similar shape.

Only letting you know before you sell the car and the buyer then pulls out because the description is wrong.

Good Luck.

James

This car is based on a Honda type r chassis with fully independent suspension making it a superb handling car like the integra type R, and the engine is a BMW built kv6
There is an element of true in the blurb, the KV6 did have some input from BMW not a lot, it is a true Rover engine, but the only BMW bit on it is the inlet plenum I think, thats why we all have problems with the inlet manifolds!!
As for the chassis well NOT really a Type R chassis is it, just an old Honda Civic/Domini!!

Thats correct Blair, all the facelifts(Mk2's) came with a mixture French (Valeo), German (BMW) and Japanese (Honda) switchgear, wire harness's etc, BMW subcontracted LEONI to make all the harness for Rover when they were in charge, and this followed onto all the facelift models too, after BMW sold Rover to those 4 idiots.

KirkJames will become famous soon enough
All that aside I like the look of the car, don't think he'll get what he wants for it tho with over 130k on the clock, it's not that much different to any other mk2 that's been debadged at the rear.
If I was going to cut a hole I would of done it higher too, think there could be some water ingress if it's pi55ing down
