Cutting a dash in Essex, and it could soon be yours...
Ben Flatman, the current, Essex-based, owner of the only known
road-registered MG ZT 385 DTM has decided to offer the car for sale on eBay
because he fancies “getting an older car that would be a bit more practical
to use.”
The car was originally built and registered by MG Sport and Racing
Limited and has been owned by Ben for just over two years. The ZT 385 DTM’s
4.6-litre V8 Ford Mustang engine has a permanently engaged Roush supercharger
while the car also features AP Racing 355mm front disc brakes and calipers,
Bilstein three-way adjustable dampers, a six-point bolted roll cage, Recaro
race seats in black leather with five-point race harnesses, an MG fire extinguisher,
sealed rear doors and Compomotive race wheels.
However, as the car stated life on the production line at Longbridge,
equipment also includes the original MG ZT dashboard complete with television,
premium hi-fi and trip computer in addition to electric windows, electric door
mirrors and remote central locking with an alarm.
Ben Flatman, who adds that the car has only done around 1500 miles
and been kept dry in a heated garage, also says: “This one-off car should
really be in a museum!” However, AROnline reckons that NAC MG should seriously
consider making a realistic bid – the car would surely, even now, generate
plenty of showroom traffic both here and, more importantly, in China while such
an acquisition would also underline SAIC Motor/NAC’s commitment to preserving
the heritage of the MG marque.
The auction closes at 14:55:02 BST on the 3rd July, 2008 so any
AROnline readers wishing to make a bid need to visit the auction page
pretty quickly.
Incidentally, if one of you does succeed in buying the car, then
please contact us at AROnline – we'd love to do the First Drive
article!
