Default Lagoon V8 ZT

This must surely be a must-have for Reebs! Looks a nice car!

This one is known to me, it's the only Lagoon V8 ever made, and it was spotted a few years ago in Crewe by another member who took a couple of photos for me.

While it would be great to have the only V8 in that colour, it is lacking a few creature comforts I'd miss, namely no cruise, no traction control, no memory seat function, the highline has been ripped out, the alloys are no longer OEM, oh and I'd really be pushed to store another car at home, plus I may not have a spare £6K down the back of the sofa

But it does have xenons, leather interior, drivers intelligence pack, and a big muscle under the bonnet

Decisions, decisions.............

I am sure you could fix a lot of those "issues"....

Go on, you know you want it....

Love the description in 'bad bits' about the birdy poop

And

"No dealers please I know these cars are appreciating in value, will sell to a genuine MG enthusiast"

@ Reebs

Do it, do it, do it......

You can always hide it up the road from SWIMBO if that is your concern. I hid mine for 3 months

For Reebs, it does say "The original mustang throttle body, wheels and stereo unit with CD changer. All are included in the sale."

You are running out of excuses.

What would worry me is the paint and lacquer issues.
Isn't this paint a small fortune per litre, or is that other flashy paint schemes that I have heard about?

Standard paint cost, about £40 per litre max!
