Cracking little buy. I too have always had a bit of a liking for these and the facelift just improved on the looks. At least you didn't get it in yellow  :laugh:

Bargain mate...

I got a soft spot for the MG ZS180 as well. Been looking at them as well seeing as they are so cheap. I've had a couple of Rovers and they have been good cars, mind none have had the k-series engine and Rover were still trading at the time.

All of the K Series engined cars I have known have had gasket problems. £400 means you have nothing to lose, but sequential gasket failure on these cars is very common, so good luck!

Has it got the MLS gasket and strengthened oil rail? You have a marginally better chance of avoiding disappointment if it has :)
