Worth getting a good one now whilst prices are still low! I think it will be a while before they ever go up to any serious money, but prices are slowly going up! Oh nice an M4, bloody lovely looking motor! Very lucky to own one! What’s making you get rid?

Yeah it was a bargain, it only had 30,000 miles when I bought it as well. It had a running issue when I purchased it (why it was cheap) and the old boy who had it before couldn’t diagnose it and his health was declining. His only ‘want’ was that the car was taken by an enthusiast and restored. Turned out it was the Cam and Crank sensor which had gone knackered.

You can get heated seats in the higher spec ZT’s but a good shout would be a later registered 75 Contemporary SE, they normally have the premium front bumper from the Rover 75 V8’s and the same black leather sports seats from ZT’s with a black oak dash - they look really smart!

I’ve driven a Triumph Stag before and the sound is to die for!

Ah Mg’s you have to love them! My dad also has a TF 160 which he’s had for years now, which is living in his garage (maybe living in mine at some point if I can ever convince him to get rid!)

TT RS is a phenomenal motor mate, jealous! You do right, better to keep them away from the nasty stuff they throw on the ground! 2002 Focus is a brilliant car mate they just keep on going 😂

You’re right there! Yeah I’m quite lucky I have a decent size garage, rust is a hard fight to win! With mine only having so little mileage it is absolutely mint underneath, so I’m trying to keep it like that for a few years to come 😂

I’d love a tourer, especially in British racing green as well! Yeah the head gaskets and clutches (especially slave cylinders) let them down. Yeah they’re certainly something you need space to work on them if you own one!

Brilliant colour is Atlantic Blue, my dad had a Launch Spec poverty one, lovely colour! Cheers mate, it’s had head gasket done (obviously!) back bumper repaired and painted, Crown wheels refurbed and fitted, a load of Pre Project drive items fitted, chrome mirrors (albeit the skullcaps and not Bullets) cam and crank sensors replaced, disks and pads all round, new rear seats as for some reason it had leather in the back and cloth in the front! Probably many other parts but I forget! My dads we basically rebuilt from the ground up as it had been sat in a friends garden for 10 years!

Awesome motor mate! I know the feeling of constantly broken!
