MG ZT
By: Flying Banana Date: December 3, 2012, 5:13 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I have 2 MG ZT's. "The Flying Banana" 1.8t in a rare colour
'Sunspot Yellow'. Thought to be 1 of 5 produced by the factory.
Now thought to be the only one around. There are reports of a
ZTT in the same colour living in Shopshire but never confirmed.
My other ZT is a "Blue Thunder", 260BHP V8 in Mirage Blue.
Currently the car is in the hands of MJS undergoing engine
repairs. Car was on show at this years Classic Car Show at the
NEC.
The V8 will be up For Sale in the New Year.
I currently have a courtesy car from MJS in the shape of a MG
ZR.

Report on "Blue Thunder".
If you are not aware my V8 has been off of the road for nearly 3
weeks. The car suffered a rare, for a V8, HGF. Mike Stafford,
MJS, has the car in his workshop and the car is under going a
major engine re-build. I was down there to-day with The Flying
Banana, she's sulking, to see how things are going. Been a hold
up on parts but hopefully "Blue Thunder" will be back with us
next week.
I cannot sing the praise's of Mike enough. One of the good guys.
I do have one of Mike's courtesy cars. MG ZR. Oh! What fun to
drive.
I am off to my final event of the year this weekend in Devon
with The Flying Banana. Give you all a report next week.

If you keep your foot off the LOUD pedal then 30mpg is possible,
however foot down and 9mpg is pretty good.

Hell! 9 mpg is harsh but surprised at 30! Just not sure if I
could keep the noise down!!!
