As per the question really...

If anyone knows of any for sale in the dealer system, please let me know.

Regards,
Keith

Keith, my local dealer, Guthrie Bros of Montrose, Angus has a ZT260SE for sale, only asking for £24,400, ex-demo, done 3,159 miles.

Just the MG though, no Rover V8.

Info here http://www.guthriebros.co.uk

Good news is that they're quite big (though still family run) and also have a big Ford franchise, so shouldn't go under like some of the less fortunate smaller franchises.:irked:

Did try buying a Rover Commerce from them, but they wouldn't play ball with the prices

 

There's one in the Visitor's Center at Longbridge!

Seriously though, I think youre local dealer should be able to search other dealer's stock...?

I met up with another bloke to go to Gaydon on Sunday at the Martin's MGR dealer at Winnall, near Winchester, Hampshire. They had a black ZT260 for sale at ~£25k. It had leather interior too. No other details though, and of course said dealer was closed. They also have a Nissan franchise so I guess they will be ok.

 

Quick search on Autotrader shows 2 Rover V8s' at SMC Cars (http://www.smc-cars.co.uk) and 2 at Anthony Betts (http://www.dealer.autotrader.co.uk/22769/anthonybetts.htm)

Prices from £24,990 to £29,990

 

Keith - just thought - do you mean the Rover V8 engine (i.e the Buick V8) or are you talking about a proper bo 75 V8?

 

If you click on www.kelkoo.co.uk and put in rover 75 v8 in the search box it will come up with quite a few.

Steve,

No can do... Marshalls of Peterborough told me they couldn't do that, as without Longbridge, there's no central point for exchanging cars... That actually sounded to me like he didn't want me to go to another dealer...

I did hear Phoenix dealers had a few, but extracting them will be difficult now, I imagine.

I'll check out the suggestions laid out anyway.

And yes, Andy, I mean the Rover 75 V8... now might bethe last chance to buy a new one...

Regards,
Keith

 

On the news earlier, they said the Automated First Registration Link had been pulled from Dealers, making registering new cars impossible.


I guess the same can be said for the car ordering and stock locator system.

Wonder if the Discus system is still operational?

 

Slightly off topic but Phoenix Northampton had a lovely (note sarcasam) pink/lime green monogram ZT V8 with every extra when I was in today, screen price was £30k.

Can't see who would want that in my opinion - its a bit loud.

 

Knock £8K off and we'll repaint it!

 

These babies in 5 - 10 years time will be worth much cash!!

Buy one, carcoon it, sit back and wait. Mark my words!!

Keith,

Phoenix Chorley had one in the showroom for a long time. It was in the classic colour like the press releases (chatsworth?). I don't recall it being there last time I went though, but was there quite recently.

Might be worth a try.

I've seen one somewhere else too in a showroom but can't for the life of me remember where. Unless it was Phoenix Preston up the road...

 

Pheonix Preston still have 2 SV's.
