Default MG ZT260 Autos Sold in Australia

Just got this link from the Australian site - it is the CDTi launch release - and it confirms the MG ZT 260's were available in manual and auto - and seven (or nine) were delivered as autos. Scroll halfway down.

Thanks for the clarification - seven it is!

I notice your ZT 260 is Auto - was it a special order?

Regards

Tony

Nope, it was an engineering vehicle, initially registered with MGR Engineering in Longbridge. It was built as an MG but was used as a development vehicle for the then-upcoming Rover 75 V8.
