AN AMAZING, AS NEW AND VERY RARE AND DESIRABLE EXAMPLE WITH ONLY 13, 000 GENUINE MILES
FIND ANOTHER LIKE IT , THIS BELONGS TO AN MG COLLECTOR.
Colour: Le Mans Green
ENGINE
Completely standard and never been messed about with this engine is as smooth as silk and always starts on the first turn of the key as it should with only 13, 000 miles under its belt. Performance is certainly 100 percent of the day it came out of the factory and a nice torquey K-series lump is everything you need to make decent progress when needed.
BODYWORK
Finished in the quite splendid and period Le Mans Green is there a better or more suited colour for these cars?
The Bodywork still has that lustrious Sheen that only a very low mileage car can convey.
This is the original MG ZT shape and not the cheaper to make facelifted ZT and all the better for it. With perfect panel fit and finish you can see the BMW influence in the quality as BMW owned Rover Group at the time and the MG/ Rover ZT/ 75 models were put together with love care and attention that impresses when you scrutinise in more detail. The MG ZT is a wonderful looking car and an example such as this is an important part in the history of the British Motoring Industry.
INTERIOR
This can only be described in an as new condition as there is not a mark, a tear or a scuff on any of the trims or seats.
Finished in `Summit` trim , The half leather sports seats are unworn and support you in just the right places.
The Facia & centre console are finished in MG`s Technical grey which is perfect with no sctratches or marks.
This car will suprise and delight you with the actions of its new to the touch controls and switches. Every part, every switch, every single item of this interior is unsullied, works perfectly and feels brand new.
MG got the interior of this car just right and it would be accurate to say that even today this interior is an impressive part of the make up of these cars and a defining fact as to why they are so sought after.
No it does not have SAT-NAV, but then it would be a shame to use this car for general day to day journeys. This is car that derserves to be used on special occaisions to keep the mileage down.
It has Air-con though so you will be the cool cat on summer days.
DRIVING
Not one to set the world alight this car is not as quick as the V6 engined versions but then neither is it a drinker.
With an easy 35 mpg within reach this is a special car that is easy on the pocket.
Also with less complication in the engine department it will be easier to put right if things did ever go south but that is we would say a long way off as with 13, 000 miles the car is barely run in.
The car feels responsive and reacts immediately to steering inputs with no fuss, no slop no gloop it just goes where you point it.
Driving over bumps the car feels like it is made from one part, there are no trim rattles, no suspension noises and the springs and dampers compress and rebound in exactly the same responsive way that the car did when new. When we say time warp we really do mean it as this car feels like a car that you have just driven out of a showroom.
When you drive at night the soft glow from the instruments, compliments the interior ambeince and makes you feel like your in something special and out of the ordinary.

HISTORY
How does such a car arrive in 2018 with only 13, 000 miles you may ask...
Well I will tell you..
Registered on 27/ 4/ 04 to a Company called CMC (Now TATA Steel) it was used for only 5 months due to the Manager who used the car leaving the company having done only 6, 000 miles from new. With nobody to use the car it was then sold to a retired Farmer called Mr Williams on 22/ 9/ 04.
He then proceded to only use the car on special occaisions until in 2012 his ill health forced him to stop driving when the car was at 13, 409 miles.
The car was then kept in his warm dry garage only to re-appear in January 2018 with the same 13, 409 miles on the clock.
We have had the car Mot`d & serviced on 5th February 2018 with a set of 2 front fresh Continentals to make her fit and ready for her new owner.
She is now showing 13, 450 miles on the clock and has the feel and smell of a new car
BRAKES
Standard Discs all round these are powerful and progressive and have plenty of life in them having done only 13k and spent most of their life in a warm dry garage.
