Cool MG ZT 190 (Spares or repair)***SOLD

I have been asked to advertise this for a Gent I met at the NEC Classic car show, a good opportunity for someone to save a nice ZT.

I have copied the text below from the e-mail I received..
I bought a MG ZT 190 (V6 2.5 petrol) from new in 2004 (54 reg Starlight silver) and have kept it in very good condition and regularly (professionally) serviced until now.
Unfortunately, the engine has a problem and I have reluctantly decided to release the car to better pastures. It is currently located near Preston at my service garage. They have its service history (and a T4!).
Last week, they replaced the water pump and belts and while it started, it is very lumpy. The garage suspects that some damage was done to some of the valves and recommended a recon engine.
If you know anybody that might be interested in taking it off my hands? All other aspects good (MOT Nov) except for a slightly noisy rear wheel bearing. No dents and good paintwork; wheels re-powder coated silver). Just had front suspension done too!
I need to act fairly fast as the garage has limited storage facilities. It will probably need trailering.
The garage that I use has serviced it more or less from new and will provide a full service history. They told me this morning that it is still a ‘tidy car’ with good bodywork and underneath.
What happened is that the water pump seized and messed up the timing. As you might gather, I am very fond of the car having looked after it from new. Sad to see it go. I’ve attached a few photos I took this morning.
£250 or nearest offer, collect from Preston. If possible, I’d like to sort soon.
Drop me a PM if interested, I can pass on contact details.
