Got to be worth £1200 of anyones money, Rob. This could become a classic in years to come. What a little beauty.

The back and forth between you and Chris is taking this channel to the next level. 👍

Brings back memories for me does this. My best pal had one of these in grey when they first came out. We travelled all over the country in it, had some of the best times ever just cruising around in it until he sadly lost his battle to cystic fibrosis and passed away in 2008, always in my heart Tom mate, Rip buddy you'll be watching Rob n Chris n heaven with that cheesy grin.

Hi Rob and Chris. I was at pride of Longbridge last weekend and I can tell you that these cars have a bigger following than you might imagine. The values bottomed out a while ago and they are on the up, especially for a ZR as nice as that. I know you sell cars cheap but I would do some research, and don’t be guided too much for what the R25 sells for at the auction as they aren’t as popular.

Had the head gasket done so good for another 500 miles 😉

Chris is my spirit animal honestly he's a legend one minute hes pulling a chassis then 5 min later on the mower or cutting a hedge. he probably sees you driving up Rob going fs I've to stop what I'm doing now 🤣

Former rover sales person here. Most desirable type. MG ZR + with the campaign pack. At this age, very reliable but you must,must , must use the correct pink coolant

Tons of these at the pride of Longbridge, big following, you'll find someone who will snap it up.

Bit harsh on the old Rover cars there Rob! I've had a few over the years (Metros, 213S and 620) and they didn't suffer any worse from dings and dents than other cars I've had. The metros did like to rust obviously 🤣but they did also self-repair sometimes! Nice to see this MG on the channel, nice budget boy racer motor

Rob...i am a big MG fan i am also a car dealer in Essex.I race an MG ZR 1.8 vvc,.Any and i mean any MG Rover car is making big money now,they have a massive following.If you get offered any MG Rover car at a decent price buy it because you will be quids in!

That's a cracking little car for £1,000 to £1500, I ran a 220SDi as our family car and so long as you gave it a regular hoofing it ran like clockwork. We used it to tow a 13' caravan which it did very well. The only downsides were no air conditioning and the sunroof did impinge on headroom for me at 6'2" but apart from that, no problems.

Brilliant video guys am just on Ebay same model 1.4 40k on the clock 3.5k others with 60 -70k mileage are between £800 and 1950 Am surprised if the guy is a engineer why he sold he so cheap could have got more scrapping it.

Just looked on eBay couple of 1.4’s on there. £799 up to £2k. Lovely car guys didn’t even realise they even had a kind of following!!

Interesting, I wonder why they wanted rid of it for £100. Anyway, in an auction I reckon someone would bid up to £1200 for it.

Hi guys, that MG ZR is a year younger than my Rover 25, same size engine as mine and my daughter researched them, there were only 795 of my model built for the british market with only 84 left roadworthy. I bought mine in the middle of January with just under 79,000 on the clock, she now has 83,000 on the clock as she is my daily drive and I have got her booked into two local shows as a modern classic🥰 very pleased with her and considering she was supposed to be a stop gap I think she will be staying longer. Her name is Ruby the pocket rocket 😊

I'd say £1250. Quick £500 each and £50 in the coffee fund 👌. Could easily get more as "The Rob and Chris seal of approval" adds value to any car in my opinion

That's got raffle for Demelza house written all over it. Cheap overall cost to you both as a business and a great way of putting out a bit of good will into the community. Great midweek vid as well. Thank you for the great content as usual.

Offer it to the guy who has the Furious Driving channel on You Tube. He is a Rover enthusiast.

That was exactly my thoughts, it's ideal for furious driving

I would take it with the other MG to the auction and let it go for what it fetches. I think you will be surprised especially as its such a very good example. In fact both are exceptional examples.

I would bloody love this car. Will be keeping my eye on instagram

Modern Classic..had a tuned one in my younger days!! Hard to find a good one in decent condition now !!

Had 2 of these brand new, 1st one bits of bodywork started falling off when i went on the motorway. I bought the small alloy trim that went around the bumper where the tailpipe exited the bumper. The rover dealer charged me £4 for it. It was standard on the 1.8 ZR but not on the 1.4 ZR. Was a lovely drive as all Rovers were. I had it for about 18 months and got rid of it for a Subaru Impreza WRX. After the Impreza nearly bankrupted me, I traded it in for another MG ZR 1.4. I went back into the Rover dealer parts dept for the little alloy trim for the bumper...it seems they got wise and must of saw potential in this popular little decal upgrade, because they wanted £27 for it this time! I'm pretty sure it wasn't even alloy and just plastic lol. But this deffo brings back memories

The rovers are taking over!!! Nice clean car, maybe a project car? Prob worth £1500? Or is it now a collectors car? As always fantastic video, Chris tending to his garden, then you rock up with another project!! Couldn't write it !!! Absolutely fantastic, love it !!

Surely it would be worth while putting that through the same auction as the other mg its got good history, good mileage, really clean and would probably suprise everyone with how much it fetches

That is an absolute bargain! Low mileage, no rust, and the hg sorted. Looks proper clean. Lots of people massively under value these cars (as seen in the comments) and some over value. I think that's a £1500-2k car

Nice wee motor for someone. Just hope the gasket was done properly. I’d be happier if Chris had done it 😊.

Shame you can’t put it in the same auction as the ZF up against the earlier one, always love a battle of bidders👍

Don’t understand why the seller let it go for £100? The bits in the boot were probably worth that. Could have ebayed it and got a lot more?

@c11yan

2 жыл бұрын

Seller probably not concerned if it sells for £100 or £1000 just wants some prosperity for his old car?

That's a gift, I've sold a set of wheels off one of those for more!! They do have a cult following now and are getting very desirable because you just don't see many about! I think that is the best colour as well.👍 I'd estimate £1200 all day long, there isn't anything even close on autotrader under £1000. You can't even buy a decent electric scooter for that kind of money!

I've had three of these, Currently still got two. Love them

Clearly worth more then 100, it meant more to the owner to give it to you guys and basically donate to the channel for all the great content Rob and Chris put out for us.

Be interesting to see if u could do what wheeler Dealers do, as like a side series of flipping, searching out decent well priced cars, do minimal making good then flip for a profit. Sell this one, purchase another, sell that one, purchase another and so on... Then after 4months or so see what that initial £100 has turned into. Don't need to do weekly videos, just a round up after the time period.

Cracking motor that! Driven a couple of these and they're so chuckable through the corners and so rev happy. Excellent video again guys 🙂

Great wee motor, good to see a ZR on the channel. Makes me miss mine, whoever gets it will definitely score a win. Good work guys

Pass/sell it on to Furious Driving channel

500 tickets £5 each. That’s 2500 for you and Chris and one of us gets a car for £5 👍

Brilliant 2 MG's on the channel well done Rob and Chris 👍. That was my favourite colour worth just over a grand...

Great work and thanks for sharing this with us take care

Hubnut would love this car

Has Chris checked under the seats for cash ? Might be a few coins rattling about underneath.

Rob, the wheels alone would cost up to a £500 with the tyres. What a great second car for school drop-offs and shopping, it’s got to be worth £1500 easy!

I had one of these before, when I was 21 . Beautiful nippy little drive . Good too see there's one or two out there undamaged

Can’t believe some of these guys, sell these cars so cheap rather than put it online themselves. It’s worth more than £100 for scrap!

Nice little ZR. They were good cars. Soft body and the head gasket was a weak point but the Rover engines were alright hence why Lotus were running the 1.8L K series after redesigning the head gasket and a few other things. But that is a mint looking ZR. 👌

roof lining glue drys out i referbed mine with thicker headlineing gaters common yours 04 petron 2,500 as stated below pink coolant well done guys👌👍

Very clean example with the HG done, even at £1200 it would be very cheap. As you mentioned, MGs and Rovers of this age have a following now.

1,200 all daylong lovely little car 👍🏻

Always had a soft spot for these

Amzing videos Rob and Chris I love watching videos

This brings back memories, First car I ever bought from new, 3 Door MGZR in that colour on an 03 plate, Loved that car, eventually had to give it up in 07 when the first kid came along

Given the age of the tyres, they are going to need replacing, so that needs to be taken into account when setting a price. I would suggest between £500 - 750

1500 quid all day long lads. Where you gonna get a 40k mile car for 1500 quid these days!

thats beautiful. i was looking for a zr as a first car. they just look so good for their age and ive seen alot of them with decently low miles.

You’re getting to like these MG’s Rob. Lovely tidy little motor for £100. Hope it does well when it’s sold 👍

That is a cracking first car for a learner .I think £1400 is a reasonable amount .gives a pretax profit of around £1200

1.4 16v K series engines are underrated and if looked after are a good power plant. The diesel ZR’s were a great car also, with a bigger intercooler and a good re-map they will pull like a steam train. No Smoke No Poke 🚗💨💨💨💨🤣

About six years ago, I bought a Volvo S70 (1999) T reg 2.5ltr with 93'000 on the clock. Two previous owners, and a very clean and tidy example - £120. Perhaps not everyone's dream car, but it drives like a dream. It needed about £250 in parts, and sailed through its MOT. I still have that car, and can see it outlasting me. Bargain cars are getting harder to find, but they are still out there, if you look. I missed a W reg Nissan Micra last year, but after standing three years, the owner decided to sell it. It needed a rear brake un-seizing, and it is back on the road too.

Hey rob and chris, keep up the good work there love your videos, with your sponsorship with car vertical i was able to fully able to hpi check my new vauxhall astra 2008 diesel :D thanks alot guys

Didn’t know Chris was a “hedge fun manager”! £950, make someone happy 😃👍

A bargain there guys, the catalytic converter, probably worth £150, i recon a fair price would be £750.

If you have a big enough oven you can do cerakote at home. Blast thoroughly clean, soak in acetone for a while to make sure no traces of grease (I mostly use it on calipers, etc, and I have an old ammo crate full of acetone to soak things in - lid seals on so it doesn't evaporate and metal so the acetone doesn't eat it), spray with cerakote (using breathing mask) with a thin coat then bake. If you use a thick coat it can easily blister when baked. So I tend to do a coat, part bake at 100 degree for 15 minutes, then give it another coat while hanging it the other way up (to spot the bits I missed), then fully bake it to an hour or so at 150 degrees. Cerakote won't stick to cerakote, hence you need to make sure all the areas are covered before the full bake. Nice thing is that it is pretty much impervious to oil, petrol, brake fluid, etc.

I used to have one of those loved it cracking little motor👍👍👍👍

Those little gems are still out there. Lovely car and will be a classic if it isn't already 👌

Nice set of knashers bro!

Rob Looks a really nice car for a young driver There are 2 on auto trader £1800 - £2000 I think you could get 1000 - 1200 for it

Nice little car. Its had a nice easy life. With that in mind £1000-£1200 would not be unreasonable

At 28 now, these were the cars to have when I was 18, which instantly makes them a classic to me. Price wise, I'd expect this to hit £800-1200 on eBay, so £6/700 from SRUK would be "cheap".

id love that car,always had a thing for them,i like how they look,that one is in excellent condition considering its a rover.

I sold mine recently. It had 70k on the clock. Sold it for 1000!

Should have been at Longbridge Saturday, you could have sold it with in minutes, they are quite popular now, and the 1.4 is an ideal car for someone

Lovely little ZR. The colour is called Trophy Blue.

Hi guys another great video I reckon it's gotta be worth 1000 pound easy 😉

Finger on the buzzer for me, been looking for a zr for while, time to get myself a first car :D

Well done guys another great video

What a great, genuine low mileage car guys, I live in the Midlands and saving like mad to be able to buy a cheap reliable car so that i can drive to north Wales to visit my granddaughter who has cerebral palsy on a regular basis, she was 16 last week end and I would of done anything to of been able to spend that special moment with her,i have a few hundred pounds saved right now so I pray that I would be able to make an offer when it comes up for sale,, Keep up the great work guy's, love your videos,👍

That wash place must love u guys🤑🤑 All jokes aside try buy a car for £1000 in that shape low mileage mot bargain young mum or new driver 👍👍👍

I reckon it is worth £995 all day long, ideal shopping trolley or run around!

Cracking little motor, 👍👍

Great little car. Maybe give it away to someone in need, If really needs be I will cover your purchase and parts cost.

Must say I was surprised it was so tidy given its age! However knowing Chris n Robs previous history, Someone is going to get a Cracking little car for a fair price. Best Channel on KZread by a MILE 👏

Great cars loved my ZS did the gasket ran for years

New wiper blades will have doubled the value Rob 😉😁🇬🇧

People giving away their classic cars for nothing just to be on the channel nowadays.... Tragic!

Love these cars. Love the videos you pair do.

Great Content on the MG ZR guys. Its a good little car for its age. Keep it up Lads.

£995 i'd say. Shame its not the 1.8 with variable valve timing. Still nice little motor.

Nice car, £500 would be a good price especially since the troublesome head gasket has been done 😊

That blue reminds me of an Alfa Romeo colour that they use at the moment - Misano blue. Very easy on the eye! Cracking bargain there. 👍
