Horney's MG ZT+ 135 CDTI "The Gentleman’s Conveyance "

[Diamond Hell]

Living closer isn't much better, the man is in demand and there's a queue 

It's massive - I've been waiting for him to come down and sort the Passat for about two years now.

Hey Nick, perfect car for you tonight on NEW Wheeler Dealers, they buying a Morgan. 


IT's surely the barsteward love child of your MX5 and your Rover.

Hmm...Nice Morgan +4. 


Racing Green and a 2.0 Rover engine.

With that much car, how much did it cost for the full treatment?

Prices are on the website dude

Tbh I am feeling Nicks pain here.. It's all very well people taking the piss but having spent two days working on the car I can only say I've been very impressed by it..

The car ticks all the boxes it needs to.
It's in excellent condition for its age, in fact, super condition for its age.. This was before I even set to work on it.
It has a BMW 5 series common rail engine.

Those that can't appreciate this are only showing their ignorance.

Nice reflections in the bonnet after the final polish:

The seats have had a problem with wear on the alcantara centres but nothing one of those little fellas for removing bobbles off a wolly jumper couldn't fix!

The car was then treated to sealant and a wax and here we can see the lovely beading when the car has water thrown at it:
