This was actually my first car and a loved it always kept an eye 👁 on the Water and oil as they where bad for headgaskets going. I actually done that that fella done and updated my head gasket and I bought that car for £250 and spent about the same on updated parts and done me for 4 years passed an mot every year without fail loved my MGZR then had the same colour MGZS brilliant little hot hatches them cars. £100 ill give you £500 right now Rob 😉👍🏼😎💯
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.
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.
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
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!
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
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.
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.
I recon their inbox is full of hundreds of cars on offer. I loved the wheeler dealers concept but times have changed. Most cars in the world are available at the click of a button
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.
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
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!
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.
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
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
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 !!
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. 👌
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.
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
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
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 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.
How long has your business partnership been, you work well together different skills and knowledge between the both of you is something to be proud of keep the good work coming lads
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.
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,👍
I would drive it down to the auction, stick a sign in the window with the mileage and contact info.... park it in good spot an see what happens. There will be disappointed people that just missed out on a car or whatever, so it would be a chance to get a great reaction from a new owner buying a soon to be classic MG. Also great content with a twist...IMO. Great vid as always, Thank You.
Why didn't you give this MG a service, been standing for 8 months, cam belt and water pump? Love your videos keep up the great work, all power to both of you 👍👏
What a find! There is a big following for these, Matt on the Furious Driving channel (another Kent RUclipsr) has just done a video at the Pride Of Longbridge show with hundreds of MG Rovers cars in. Would also be an ideal to take to Hagertys Festival Of The Unexceptional this summer!
I remember wanting one of these in Secondary school, my mate asked me what car I would like and I always saw this one driving whilst on the walk there haha. Brilliant little car for £100 :O My first car was from my Mum, a Citreon C3 Desire for £800....it had an engine oil leak and lasted about a year. Been without a car since which is such a shame, just can't afford one now :( miss those little trips out with the family. Such a steal at that price. I would say it's worth £1000-£2000, good mileage, no issues once sorted. It is a million times better than the first car I bought........basically bought a broken car for £800. So gutted.
That's a cracking little first car for someone's son or daughter who has just passed their test. I'd have been delighted with that for my first car. Mine was a Fiesta ☺
What a lovely little car it has to be worth £995-1195 especially with such low mileage also it’s had the head gasket upgrade which is a must on the K series engine. Another great video 👍🏻😊
OMG, where are you finding these low mile MG's - this car would be anything up to £6k at a dealers if fully sorted & is a rare gem that needs to be cherished & kept in the MG community - looks fab!! Being a 5dr as well, is rarer - looking forward to seeing this progress with you and Chris
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 RUclips by a MILE 👏
Just a small point, it's a ZR+, the little sticker at the bottom of the pillar is the give away, plus those wheels where from the plus range, i've had one or two MG's, it's an easy fix. Another brilliant video
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.
Wife bought a 2003 rover 25 with the mg zr kit for £300. Ended up with a power steering leak on one of the rack pipes then got written off when a fan reversed into it……. Was paid out £1200 for it 😂. The only car she’s made profit on
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".
Great find Rob, our first “Cheap Car Challenge” of 2022! I have to agree it’s a nice car, we’ve had a few Rovers 400 & 600, this one would make an ideal first time driver or learner car, the K-Series engine is strong, I have the 1.6 version in my Caterham 7. So what’s it worth, retail it £1900, so cheap car challenge possible value £1000 to £1500 and that would be a right bargain and you get a reasonable pay day. Hope Chris finished the hedge, lol! Looking forward to the next one. Thanks both, Dave.
Getting your car and truck washed. I really don’t know why, but I just flat out dig your Ford Transit car hauler. You would be very hard pressed to find one of these Transits here in the states in this configuration, as the Ford F-350/F-450 v8 diesels would be the Ford model of choice here and they would use the rollback flatbed. I suspect your Transit would probably be a bit under rated capacity wise to be a preferred unit here in the states because I believe most of our vehicles are significantly heavier than what you pick up and pack around. But still, I enjoy watching your truck being used.
Bit early but an idea for an Xmas video just both of you talking about how you met when you started as partner’s, individual favourite vehicles you’ve done etc. I would love to hear about it think others would as well. to get started mine was the focus from the woods a great turn around and my first video of yours I watched. Keep it up 👍
Yeah like the other guys have said someone will snap your hand off for £1500 ...12 months MOT, all the little jobs done, etc ready to drive away.. jeez its a bargain, well done guys, these are the bread and butter jobs of your business, and the guy that reached out to you to buy it knows how honest and hard working you guys are and will get an honest feed out of it..great video ..AGAIN 😉👍🧢☕🚗 Old Mechanic...retired

Yep, timing was just out, that would have been a fantastic video. Very nice little car, will find a good home at the right price. 👍
Just imagine the pair at auction
Reach out to the buyer of the other mg?

@@bear1245 I would love another one m8 👍🏼😎💯
Maybe a giveaway, find someone who’s working but can’t afford a car and this would make life easier for them.
Great idea Mark 👍
Sounds like a good idea 💡 🤔 👌
Excellent idea. Give it to somebody in need 👍
Is a good idea but at same time if somone cant aford a car how will thay aford to run one.?
@@scottyg376 maybe they have a car that needs replacing but can’t afford to
Got to be worth £1200 of anyones money, Rob. This could become a classic in years to come. What a little beauty.

Wheeler dealers has a host of researchers tracking cars down for brewer Rob and Chris haven’t got. That luxury
I recon their inbox is full of hundreds of cars on offer. I loved the wheeler dealers concept but times have changed. Most cars in the world are available at the click of a button
Brewer has a team who looks for the cars for him
Yeah swap me for my slightly broken newer vauxhall corsa would be perfect :'D
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.

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!!
Bloody hell you guys got a bargain there what a nice car £100 fair play good to see on the channel cheers guys great video as usual
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.

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

I do miss my Trophy yellow mk1 ZR. I don't miss checking for head gasket failure on a weekly basis. haha. Only had the 1.4 but boy was it fun.
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!
Nice wee motor for someone. Just hope the gasket was done properly. I’d be happier if Chris had done it 😊.
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
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 had one of these before, when I was 21 . Beautiful nippy little drive . Good too see there's one or two out there undamaged
I would bloody love this car. Will be keeping my eye on instagram
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.
Modern Classic..had a tuned one in my younger days!! Hard to find a good one in decent condition now !!
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.
Shame you can’t put it in the same auction as the ZF up against the earlier one, always love a battle of bidders👍
How long has your business partnership been, you work well together different skills and knowledge between the both of you is something to be proud of keep the good work coming lads
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 🚗💨💨💨💨🤣

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
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👌👍
The more your channel grows the more people reach out to virtually give their cars to you, and I can't blame them. Keep up the good work lads.
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. 👍
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.
I would drive it down to the auction, stick a sign in the window with the mileage and contact info.... park it in good spot an see what happens. There will be disappointed people that just missed out on a car or whatever, so it would be a chance to get a great reaction from a new owner buying a soon to be classic MG. Also great content with a twist...IMO. Great vid as always, Thank You.
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?
Seller probably not concerned if it sells for £100 or £1000 just wants some prosperity for his old car?
Why didn't you give this MG a service, been standing for 8 months, cam belt and water pump? Love your videos keep up the great work, all power to both of you 👍👏
It’s not long had all of the above 👍
Finger on the buzzer for me, been looking for a zr for while, time to get myself a first car :D
I've had three of these, Currently still got two. Love them
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 👍👍👍
What a find! There is a big following for these, Matt on the Furious Driving channel (another Kent RUclipsr) has just done a video at the Pride Of Longbridge show with hundreds of MG Rovers cars in. Would also be an ideal to take to Hagertys Festival Of The Unexceptional this summer!
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

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.
That's a cracking little first car for someone's son or daughter who has just passed their test. I'd have been delighted with that for my first car. Mine was a Fiesta ☺
That is a cracking first car for a learner .I think £1400 is a reasonable amount .gives a pretax profit of around £1200
Brilliant 2 MG's on the channel well done Rob and Chris 👍. That was my favourite colour worth just over a grand...
Didn’t know Chris was a “hedge fun manager”! £950, make someone happy 😃👍
These zr's are quite a nice little rewarding drive. Put aside the vulnerability they handle like their on rails..cheap fun all day long. 👍
Hi guys another great video I reckon it's gotta be worth 1000 pound easy 😉
What a lovely little car it has to be worth £995-1195 especially with such low mileage also it’s had the head gasket upgrade which is a must on the K series engine. Another great video 👍🏻😊
Always had a soft spot for these
OMG, where are you finding these low mile MG's - this car would be anything up to £6k at a dealers if fully sorted & is a rare gem that needs to be cherished & kept in the MG community - looks fab!! Being a 5dr as well, is rarer - looking forward to seeing this progress with you and Chris
Nice car, £500 would be a good price especially since the troublesome head gasket has been done 😊
alright guys had the 3 door 1.8 what a great little car looking forword to the finished article great job as normal guys
Did you half inch the wiper blades?
Nice little car. Its had a nice easy life. With that in mind £1000-£1200 would not be unreasonable
£1000 easy money tbh guys... Might be worth doin a quick service maybe and that could push it up £1200 maybe.. Good find and nice easy money!
It’s not Long had a full service
@@sruk ahh ok fair one.. Should easily get £1k for it i reckon..
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 RUclips by a MILE 👏
Great little car. Maybe give it away to someone in need, If really needs be I will cover your purchase and parts cost.
One of the most popular hatches of the early 2000s..got slated but fun to drive, easily modified and fairly cheap to own..
1,200 all daylong lovely little car 👍🏻
Just a small point, it's a ZR+, the little sticker at the bottom of the pillar is the give away, plus those wheels where from the plus range, i've had one or two MG's, it's an easy fix. Another brilliant video
500 tickets £5 each. That’s 2500 for you and Chris and one of us gets a car for £5 👍
Lovely little car
I personally like rovers my first car was a 1990 metro 1.1
Definitely worth £500 or more 👍
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!
Hi Rob I would get in touch with furious driving he loves anything MG Rover looks a nice little car
Has Chris checked under the seats for cash ? Might be a few coins rattling about underneath.
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 reckon you'll put it up at £1275. Not sure why you didn't do the exhaust when the bits were in the boot - not much work 🙂
Cracking motor that! Driven a couple of these and they're so chuckable through the corners and so rev happy. Excellent video again guys 🙂
Wife bought a 2003 rover 25 with the mg zr kit for £300. Ended up with a power steering leak on one of the rack pipes then got written off when a fan reversed into it……. Was paid out £1200 for it 😂. The only car she’s made profit on
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".
The 2 on auto trader with more miles asking close to 2k, but in keeping with the channel I think 1250 is a fair ask👍
Great find Rob, our first “Cheap Car Challenge” of 2022! I have to agree it’s a nice car, we’ve had a few Rovers 400 & 600, this one would make an ideal first time driver or learner car, the K-Series engine is strong, I have the 1.6 version in my Caterham 7.
So what’s it worth, retail it £1900, so cheap car challenge possible value £1000 to £1500 and that would be a right bargain and you get a reasonable pay day. Hope Chris finished the hedge, lol! Looking forward to the next one. Thanks both, Dave.
Getting your car and truck washed. I really don’t know why, but I just flat out dig your Ford Transit car hauler. You would be very hard pressed to find one of these Transits here in the states in this configuration, as the Ford F-350/F-450 v8 diesels would be the Ford model of choice here and they would use the rollback flatbed.
I suspect your Transit would probably be a bit under rated capacity wise to be a preferred unit here in the states because I believe most of our vehicles are significantly heavier than what you pick up and pack around.
But still, I enjoy watching your truck being used.
lol
It's a Vauxhall rather than a Ford!
Bit early but an idea for an Xmas video just both of you talking about how you met when you started as partner’s, individual favourite vehicles you’ve done etc. I would love to hear about it think others would as well. to get started mine was the focus from the woods a great turn around and my first video of yours I watched. Keep it up 👍
Good idea, Stephen. I think many viewers would love to hear Rob and Chris's backstory.
Nice set of knashers bro!
Yeah like the other guys have said someone will snap your hand off for £1500 ...12 months MOT, all the little jobs done, etc ready to drive away.. jeez its a bargain, well done guys, these are the bread and butter jobs of your business, and the guy that reached out to you to buy it knows how honest and hard working you guys are and will get an honest feed out of it..great video ..AGAIN 😉👍🧢☕🚗
Old Mechanic...retired
New wiper blades will have doubled the value Rob 😉😁🇬🇧
Nice little car ,you don't see many on the road these days , I would say £1,150 no less with that mileage.
Great content 👌
Hubnut would love this car
