I have just bought one of the V8 Development cars VIN 007, an appropriate sister car to my 260 SE, VIN 700.

It's been standing outside since early 2006 and is missing its engine and gearbox (an auto)and quite a bit else, so not an overnight restoraton!!

cheers

Good luck. Sounds like a gutsy move.

Sounds like an opportunity to try a different engine and gearbox LOL

It crossed my mind as did a supercharger, but the plan is to restore back to what it was originally - the first ZT V8 auto, the forerunner of the 75V8. All being well, it will have a little bit more horsepower, maybe 300.

I have a damaged ZT-TV8 that I bought as a breaker with the engine and box still fitted, maybe that would fill the empty hole in your engine bay?

Hi All
It's been a while!

I've still got mine, just hit 40k and due for a service!

Had it since May 2005, bought from MGR with 50 miles onthe clock, and I still love it, problems? Nothing really serious, just a few annoying glitches...

-Condensate leak from AC into the cabin - took a while to find - caprets out to dry them!
-Gearbox and Diff oil seals needed replacing last year.
-Needed to replace the fan slow speed resistor with uprated one.
-My inability to decide if I liked Zero Exhausts or not (back to standard now!)
-My inbility to make rear tyres last more than 7500 miles!
-It randomly ate a ancilliary belt in 2006 but been fine since did not snap but one belt rib had gone
-Tiny bubble of rust on one wheel arch
-Alloys need refurbing - laquer is peeling
-Front MG badge is looking a bit scruffy

I have fiddled about with it a bit:
-Bluetooth Stereo upgrade +amp, speakers and HK sub
-Fitted Accufab bigger throttle body
-Fitted Powershot air filter
-Fitted parking sensors
-Blue LED heater display
-Added pre operation scrimp sound proofing to parcel shelf
-Added pre operation scrimp second horn
-Replaced suspect heater hose
-Added fuel filter clip
-Added Zero exhausts
-Taken them off again
-Added Zero exhausts
-Taken them off again and sold them!

I get about 22-3/mpg on average.

It is a great cruiser and makea lovely noise.

Sell it? Only on the day I can afford a Lotus Evora!

Regards

Hello Martin, Well there's a thought! I am in the midst of acquiring a new engine/auto gearbox, but still would be interested to have a look in case this does not work out. Grateful for more details - Thanks, Tony.
