Silver ZS 180

Just thought I would throw some pics of my car car, I haven't used it for 5 months so took it for a 600km round trip run to a motorsport event and put it on display. Took a few pics on my phone so thought I would share them. A friend in his '68 Cooper S came along as well which is why it's in a couple of pics. Have done a fair bit to it of late so was good to give her a run The last pic is it in front of my ZR track car in the same colour. Hope all you UK residents love the weather

Nice looking car that, they must be pretty rare over there. How much interest to they generate over there?

ZS looks as good down there, as they do here, love the Mini Cooper as well.

Best of luck with the track car.

Looks very bright in Starlight Silver when the sun hits it! Looks like a great day at the show, must of been a nice drive. How is the MG market in Australia? Thanks.

Thanks everyone, I have had the car 6 years and still love it, just don't have enough time to get it out.

Yeah not that many, it was one of a shipment of MG Rover cars sold here new, only a couple had the rear wing fitted from factory. I remember reading there was a second shipment on the way but MG Rover went under before it got here. I think circa 35 genuine Aussie delivered from new ZS, all 180's.

Yep love the colour. Looks great on a sunny day over here. All those pics are straight off my phone so it looks that good in real life. MG has a very strong following here, a strong and passionate culture that love all to do with the brand. F/TF's are extremely popular and ZT's have a good following too. Unfortunately ZR/ZS didn't get here until 6 months before MG Rover went under so not many made it onto our roads. This means very little parts/knowledge/support for ZR/ZS over here. All the better for our UK counterparts...

I know it's not quiet the same but a couple of pictures of the ZR. I run it in an all MG series against MG F/TF Cup cars, ZR's, MG B's, Midgets and B GT V8's.
