My new 180 (at last!) NEW PICS ADDED ON PAGE ONE!

Some pics off my phone from when I picked it up in Manchester to keep grimmy happy

all I have at the moment but will update tomorrow once it's clean



the large stack of cash required to make sure it came home with me



And after the first clean







the first mod!



some blue hoses fitted that I had left over from the ZR



and the biggest problems, a cracked rear spat and some rather dodgy touch up work

yeah I thought that was funny, this was actually run by MG Rover group. It still has the original MG Rover group plates!

probably explains why the mileage is so low and the badges are so faded

There seem be huge numbers of MGs registered at Longbridge. It was a fiddle operated by MG Rover (and all other mass manufacturers) to artificially boost their sales figures. They registered the cars, ran them for around 1,000 miles and then sold them on as pre-registered cars at a discounted price.

I currently own 3 cars that were registered by MGR. Two have BX plates and the other one BJ. My Mk1 ZS was also a BX.

yeah that car is on an 04 plate but is actually an early 05 build. As for as I can tell from the log book they kept this one for quite a while as a demonstrator.

still it's nice to know it kicked around the factory for a while
