2004 MG ZT V8

For a few months in 2004/2005 the MG ZT V8 was available for purchase in South Africa.

Received a lot of press coverage at the time, most magazines testing them.

Anyone know what happened to them? Any mates owned/still own one?
Mustang 4.6L V8, Tremec 5spd, Dana LS Diff, might be a bargain find now, 10 years later.

I know we got smaller engined ones like the 2.5 I have never seen a v8 model here ...

I think there was one example in SA, CAR tested it if I recall correctly.

As to what happened to it....

Might find it at a bargain, but I think spares will be a nightmare.

Not the V8, but anyone here have any experience with them?
Seems quite a lot of car for the money...

those engine are super smooth and overall a very nice car, very under rated in my opinion. Oh, and alot of engine parts etc can be found on the freelander 2.5 v6 as it shares the same engine. I had to do a cylinder head job recently on one and didn't wait too long for parts. special tools were required however to set cam timing.
