MG ZT 260 SE

The ZT 260 is the oddball of the MG Rover era: a front-drive saloon reworked with a longitudinal Ford Mustang 4.6-litre V8, rear-wheel drive, a limited-slip differential and a Tremec five-speed manual gearbox. Prodrive was involved in the conversion. Output is 260 bhp and 410 Nm.

This is an early, pre-facelift car from late 2003, finished in Starlight Silver with a black leather interior. The page puts pre-facelift ZT 260 production at 192 cars, out of 883 V8 MG and Rover 75 models in total, so it is a rare sight.

It has covered 120,000 miles and has been dry stored for 18 months. It runs and drives, but needs some recommissioning before road use, and the dealer says it would benefit from some TLC. It has a new battery, a book pack and an MOT noted from November 2024/2025.
