Thank you for taking the time to read the advert for my lovely Rio Red MG ZT-T 180. A slightly higher mileage example, but it is super tight and solid over bumps, thanks to the previous owners complete overall (almost restoration) of the mechanics of this car. It'll be hard to list here the things it has had done, but this is a rare example and the only rio red, 180 left in the country. I'll be sad to see it go.

Some notable points:
- R12 JDR is a hark back to the first official owner - it was his number plate and has remained on the car since. It suits it a lot, so will come with it. It has its original dealer stamp on it too.
- Working sunroof (with modified drains)
- Harmon Kardon sound system with working subwoofer (it sounds amazing!)
- XTrons Octacore touchscreen head unit
- Xenon Headlights with wash function
- Heated leather seats
- Cruise control
- 2 keys
- MG Floormats will come with the car
- Boot privacy cover with dog guard (I have a spare without dog guard, that I'm happy to supply with the car)
- 18" Apex alloys, finished in shadow chrome
- The car featured in the MG magazine a few years ago - its famous!!

Work I have done since ownership (since Oct 23):
- New Front discs and pads
- Cambelts, water pump and tensioner (Nov 23)
- Thermostat (Nov 24)
- New upgraded vis motors (Nov 23)
- 4 Michelin Cross climate 5 with great tread
- New DMGRS backbox (the cat is quiet too) to rectify drone (if you know the KV6, you'll know what I mean.
- Cleared plenums

Notable work by previous owner (theres so much more)
- Complete restoration of the rear subframe and sills
- Underbody seal
- Shadow chrome wheel refurb
- Restoration of the Harmon Kardon sound system
- The list goes on - the service history speaks volumes
- Full polybush all round

A few sore points:
- The bonnet and roof have the typical red car lacquer peel
- Some of the trims around the car are starting to lose their lacquer
- The headlining is beginning to sag at the rear, but only in Sept 24 did I notice it
- There are a few age related marks around the car, but the lower portions of the car paint is exceptional for its age
- The aircon has been overhauled (new condenser, O rings), and was working in the summer but I was advised the noisy compressor needs changing. DMGRS supply new ones of these.

There is so much history in a file, with what seems to be the invoice for the first or second owner of the car. Enthusiasts love these sort of details, and it made me love the car even more when I discovered it. It comes with its original stamped owners manual too. Folder of receipts: - details above
