Whoops, had to scratch my rover itch.

#1 Post by knightrider150 »

Evening all,

Thought I would post up some photos of my new purchase.

I have an odd fetish for ZTs and 75s.

Its a 04 plate MG ZT 190+ with the intelligence pack ( so rear parking sensors,automatic wipers,trip comp, Auto dimming rear view mirror, Xenon headlamps with power wash and Electric rear blind sun blind.

LPG converted, Wince and backup camera fitted, Updated Fan, Full leather electric heated seats,Uprated Vis motors, Jules plenum shield, Full dark oak dashboard,and updated interior lighting and lots of other detail upgrades.

Front doors have Focal Access 165AS and rear doors Kenwood KFC-P602, the front doors were also sound deadened to stop the door panels from rattling.

Bought it off a 75 forum member, this weekend I gave it a bloody good clean and a claybar and wax and fitted the headunit and reversing camera.

I love it drives wonderfully.

Interesting, pre-facelift but very late registered.

Like the head unit but it would look out of place in any of mine...

Preferred your X300. One of those I could live with. That I sadly couldn't....but each to their own.

A lot of BMW's money went into developing that car to make sure it didn't tread on the toes of the 3 or 5-Series. That's why they made a loss about the time it came out.

I wouldn't say no to a 75 or ZT.

Its a very late pre facelift.

Has the later style switchgear and fuse box and a couple other odds and sods.

Its build date is 2004.

Ive had a 2003 75 for a few weeks now and love it. Very very nice to drive and a gorgeous interior. These cars are so under rated.
