I always liked the 160 zr was much more fun to drive than the zs 180s ive had if anything they where as close as ive got to that mk2 feel in a modern car.

saying that seeing as it was based on a car from the early 90s hardly suprising lol

To be fair they were never 'bad' cars and were very well specced but the ever present mechanical issues  are all they will be remembered for and is why they are so cheap.

not wrong mate...i paid £3500 for mine and spent a further 5/6k in mods and repairs and then got rid for 1k!... bad times...but hey!!

dont you mean 5/6k on headgaskets :laugh: :laugh: only joking pal there not bad cars like you say as long as they have been looked after the 1.8 160's are fun are kid had one never missed a beat

I had a 160 they was quick. Part ex'd mine against one that had been converted to a Rover 220 turbo lump 268bhp and 238ft/lb torque that thing was rapid  :cool:

I kind of have a soft spot for them to be honest.
If the engines where a bit stronger i'd have one any day i just couldnt own one with that looming doubt of the engine unless you forked out yourself.

This car with a black and red colour scheme would be a favourite of mine. I don't mind MG's myself, bit of a weird fetish I have.

A good friend of mine has a MGB with a second gen, 5.7 litre hemi engine stuck in it. 360bhp. 440lbft and geared for a top speed of only 135-140mph.

It's always struck a chord with me...in a good way  :laugh:
