MG ZT 260 Auto (Rover 75 V8) Development Car

tonybubble · 17th November 2013, 08:38

In response to Jay's request to know more about 07, I thought that I would update the story. Here is the car at Wyn's (EuroRover).

and a little while back (well, actually 3 years ago!!):

Wyn

has done a heroic job after taking over the project from Messenger (Corin) and got the engine running - it started first turn of the key - a few weeks ago albeit with the use of a borrowed engine ECU. Since then we have been searching for a MGR 75 V8 ECU or someone who can re-program the standard Mustang one.

Is this the one that is going to get broken up for the pick-up project?

Ohh no, here we go again

Yes I believe so, but leave that to the other thread, and keep this one about the car's condition folks please

Oops, no offence intended, curiosity and nothing more, sorry.

Glad to hear that Tony, I had a feeling it was all rather tongue in cheek at the time.

Anyway back on thread.

As it has been so long since we had bad update on here regarding 007 MG ZT 260 auto. I am happy to tell you all that 007 past his fist ever MOT on Friday.
A few said it could not be done many said you had to me nuts to try it.
007 is back

Well I'm not amazed, Knowing Corin Wyn and Tony as I do it was only a matter of time.

It's another bit of motoring heritage that's been saved from the crusher

Congrates to you all
