There’s been quite a bit of publicity this year around the MG Car Club’s ‘Save our Zeds’ campaign and I certainly feel like I’ve done my bit. My latest rescue is a 2003 ZS 120 saloon in Trophy Blue, which had been off the road for over a year after its previous MoT expired. Its owner put it in for a test but deemed the failure points uneconomical to repair so AO03 BXH stood abandoned on his drive for several months.
The failure sheet itself wasn’t too drastic: some evident issues with the front brakes and a CV joint gaiter being the main ones. The car was well past its prime, with multiple scuffs and scrapes and a set of tyres close to the legal limit. It had clearly seen some action, missing centre caps and sporting ruined badges. The underside was also looking a bit oxidised, with some flaky areas around the front of the sills.
