Lovely, what charger are you using?

I love the rear centre shock absorber on these.

I've never seen a centre damper like that before? Have I lived a sheltered life or is this as rare as I'm thinking?

I think it’d be the only car fitted with it. It was to stop axle tramp and apparently the engineers at MG were under the car to see how they could stop it and this is what they came up with, there’s one back and front of diff unit. All this may be a story but it’s what I’ve heard

Wow that is truly fantastic! I keep seeing the V8s whenever I catch up with 75/ZT people and sadly the time to grab them for reasonable money might have passed.

Are you running the TR3650 transmission or have you upgraded to 6060 or similar given the upscaling of torque?

Any further mods on the horizon?

Nice.

Personally I'd go for the Range Rover "Supercharged" badge, but other than that lick

Just the standard box and no plans to mod anything else

Immaculate as always Mr F, possibly the best out there.


Wish I had the time and inclination although some consider me to be OCD! The OCD was not apparent in my cars recent appearance on YT as some pointed out.

Just out of interest, and no obligation to share of course, what does the car owe you, IE cost of the car and the mods?

I'd be interested to see how it compares to the cost of, for EG, a well sorted B7 RS4, which on paper/ size it now is comparable to.
