bhp
General comments	Owned since brand new first registered in February 2004 with just 7 miles on the clock, now on 55'000 miles all put there by me. It's a ZR 120+ model with the campaign pack which was a dealer option that included side skirts, 17 inch straights and black/grey half leather Monaco interior. Before the car was a year old it was fitted with the X-Power Rally bumper and other X-Power bits. It was one of the first ZRs to wear a Rally bumper and was one of few modified ZRs of the time. I have made quite a few subtle changes to the car but kept it within an OE theme as almost everything used has been genuine MG-Rover or X-Power parts. I have tried to avoid the modifed look. Any custom parts have still been created with an OEM+ or X-Power theme in mind. The car is kept in immaculate condition.

Future Plans

General Comments

I have had the car for 9 years and plan on keeping it for good.

I am keeping the car as in as good a condition as possible.

I'm currently tidying up areas of the car to keep the car looking fresh.

New front wings and a complete front end respray may happen in the future.

Z&F remap in the summer. This will happen when the car is entered into Pride Of Ownership at MG Live 2013.

New alloy radiator and dark green silicone hoses are planned for later in the year.

The car is meticulously maintained, and I avoid using it in wet/winter weather.
