As a current "company car" driver of a 160bhp MG ZR, I would watch for the famous British build quality. Mine has been no end of problems :'(

Oh & enjoy running it in, I did & it made no difference. 3000rpm is about 60mph with the short 5th gear!! It's bad getting overtaken by coaches..etc for the first few journeys.

Good job they run very well once you can put your boot down to the floor!! A fun little motor  ;D
