some one who didnt know the colours!

this car was spotted 3 months after been built with that badge on it! and as it was a press car and a directors car i dont think it was purchased from ebay!!!!

well, as "organiser" has insisted, and asked so nicely, here's a taster. Of course it is LEF, X-Power Grey, and not "le mans" grey, as per that 2002 post on MGOC.

Stunning looking motor.

Thanks for ther pictures Mike, it does look rather nice

.

It'd be interesting to know what details the club holds for this car, a pm to Reebs might be in order.

I'd also be inclinded to have a word with Terry Shaw in Stourbridge about the car.

Hi Mike,

Many thanks for the pics, car looks stunning with those seats and the painted dash & trim!

The dash looks to be painted in Aurora in the pics?

Hope to see you and the car around soon, Teddybear nano maybe?

Best regards,

Tom.

Tell me about that Nano, then, regards, Mike M.

Indeed, I could look up its build record and see what it's described as. I'll need to be PM'd the VIN though, as I can't obtain the record from its registration mark sadly.

Thanks for the prompt to see what the VIN indicates..SARRJXLFFZD..if I read it aright, a ZT Basic Saloon 190 LHD Auto. I await what Reebs can disclose. This may explain the V5C which says it is a "ZT+ Auto". The chassis and dash vin and documents match for this VIN. PM sent to Reebs. Perhaps an surplus/unsold LHD which was factory-reworked to Kevin Howe's specifications? Build date versus the reg date of 20/02/2002 would be interesting. The fact that the manual gearchange surround is finished in the same colour as the dash and console, commented on in mid-2002, suggests it was a manual car from first registration, regardless of the VIN and V5C.

Hi Mike,

Teddybears Nano is Sunday 20th October from 9-30am, there will be a catering van on site for hot food & drinks all day.

You can come for a chat or to work on your car with other owners to help out if you get stuck with anything, not 100% sure if we will have a T4 machine this time but I think it will be? Check out the West Mids event page for more details and to put your name down.

Regards,

Tom.

Hi Mike, the factory build data lists it as an Xpower Grey RHD ZT 190 entry spec with Matrix - Blue/Yellow seats. It left the line @ 09:52:13 on 05/02/02

My guess is that it was substantially reworked into an SE model changing the seats, A pillar airbags, factory DVD Player electric memory Red Alcantara seats etc. What does the trim code plate say for the interior? Is it WSQ = Blue/Yellow Matrix? or WTA = Copperleaf Alcantara / Ash Grey?
