I do love this car especially the insane torque but not as much as the 350Z!

Bit annoyed that I bought this now seeing as I could have downloaded it for free! However I would still like the Haynes manual...

I stand corrected

I haven't found one online but I have just bought one for £2.50 on eBay on CD

Mk1 models tend

We bought one of the last MGZR's in 2005. Awful build quality but reliable enough.

Mk2 MG's such as yours tended to be of poorer build quality than Mk1 models.

As a train driver for SWT, I pass this motor nearly every day, looks a nice example, there is also a black 350Z with stunning silver wheels in the up-side car park at the station on a regular basis, nice to see those Zeds getting regular outings.

It may be another one you see then as this one isn't visible from the rail track.

I can add it is a 05 plate.

I think they are seen in poor light by the un-initiated, when really they are fantastic value for money for what they are.

I had them on my 300ZX but to be honest I couldn't tell if there was any difference. However they are an opportunity to dress up ones engine bay! 😀

Love TVR's and their sound! Enjoy

Third ZS I have owned and perhaps that says something about them in itself...

Love the V6 engine and handles very well. I've had many pleasurable years driving them. As said they are a lot of car for not a lot of money, wish I could keep her as a track car but wouldn't get used enough.

Get it sold quick and get your Zed!

I already have the 350Z but it needs a new clutch!

This is the car I still have until I sell her and for which the 350Z is the replacement. Rather fortunate that I still have her since I need a new clutch on The 350Z!

I have done the following -

Rover 45 headlights as these have clear indicators as opposed to standard amber.

Janspeed X Power back box.

Janspeed decat.

The alloys are the Mk 2 version.

Citroen screen mist washers.

Sheddist kit for clutch hydraulics.

Body coloured engine and fuse covers.

Piper X induction kit.

I am already planning on claiming back for 36000 miles of verifiable mileage in my MG that I have done in six years of owning her...

😘

I only glimpsed it near the offices opposite Southampton Central train station. I apologise if you are a Blade or Gunmetal and take offence at my in accuracy 😊

OMG the car has now done 35k and is 9 years old! 😜

Out of the two I chose green but think that body colour would work better with the purple wheels.

I've been quoted £600 - £700 in general and that's just the clutch and fitting. Obviously expect to add the cost of the flywheel if you do that too.

However there is one place that has quoted £449.99 for clutch and fitting.

I would love to buy an uprated clutch and flywheel and get them fitted but I haven't got the time or funding to go that route at present.

What goes through their tiny minds?

This came with my Z but I don't need it so I have listed it on eBay.

At 7.40am today travelling into Southampton on Millbrook Road West. I couldn't see the driver as I was about ten cars behind.

I thoroughly enjoyed that car even though she was getting on in years. Unfortunately due to family demands I no longer had enough time to tinker with her.

Here's my silver Z

Is it a Blade?

I have no mods on mine but just got a multi car quote for the 350, MG ZS and Jeep Grand Cherokee all for well under £800
