Six door Limousine has makeover

This Friday SLJ went out to work for the first time in its new colour, engine and gearbox. The lower colour is MGR monogram Aubergine and now has a 180 V6 MG engine and gearbox.

Did you put a 180 engine in because the original 75 2.5 was no good?

Yes the original one blew up me on a family trip to Beaulieu in 2022 with my grandchildren. As our other hearse has a 180 engine and gearbox which is how MacNellie received it from MGR I thought it would be a great idea to make them Zt’s with the view of hiring out to MG enthusiast funeral.
I purchased a 180 saloon and stripped it for its parts . I do intend to replace the interior with a set of cream sports summit set which I purchased sometime ago and get the middle seat covered in the same.
Currently I can’t get the old one out as it’s stuck on one side.

Love Aubergine - one of, if not the best in the range. Cannot understand why so few were finished in it, unless the brochure did not do it justice. Has a tendency to look a bit brown in print.
