MG ZR ZS ZT Technical - The Darkside calleth! Warning: ZT260->385 content

From the MG SnR auction sale:

I know Doktor Noiz wants one - you know it makes sense ;o)

arrrr the force is strong with that one!

been chatting to Rog about it!
he saw it in the flesh and though of me.
I think it'll need a lot of other bits to go with it to make work though! pulleys manifolds gaskets let alone MEMS retuning

.....

also been chatting with Rog about pipes for ZT260s

Forget this fancy painted supercharger and go for this as it has got everything fitted.

Mind you with the bodykit fitted even ants have to duck when it passes over! It does have a complet 385 spec engine and the brakes are also to what 385 spec would have been with the 355mm and AP four post up front to match the AP twin pots and 332mm brakes at the back.

I don't fancy the body kit's chances when you come to a speed bump Rog! ;oD

Interesting estimate price. I'm not sure how to value a vehicle like this. Was it ever shown to the public? I don't recall ever having read about it.
Rob Bell

This was a late production 260 modified to become the DTM 'Taxi' to help promote the abortive DTM entry. It was apparently a fantastic tool before the kit went on then it was a complete loss to drive on public roads. It made around £20k at the auction, not cheap and above expectation. I wonder how it is intended to be used??

Hopefully on track! :o)
