Found this not to far away from me and thought I've never seen one in white before so I went and bought it

Does anyone know if they came in white from the factory or has it had a respray? There's no tell tale signs of a respray, engine bay etc is all white and its white on the tax book.

Has AVO coilovers fitted as well, is that a cheapo brand or some what half decent?

I'm quite proud of myself on this one, its nice to buy a car that doesn't need work Only 85k on it too It's a bit sluggish for a 2.0td though, I expected more from it but there only 115bhp as standard from what I've read.

I think it looks great in white tbh, better than any other colour I've seen

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

From Wiki...

There were also two diesel variants of the ZR, the first being the ZR TD 100 which had a 2.0 L Series engine that made 99 bhp (74 kW; 100 PS) and 240 N·m (180 lb·ft) torque giving a 0-60 mph of 9.7 seconds and a top speed of 114 mph (183 km/h).

The other diesel-engined ZR was the TD 115 which came with the same 2.0 L series engine but with some minor performance enhancements (improved ECU map), to produce 111 bhp (83 kW; 113 PS) and 260 N·m (190 lb·ft) torque, which saw the car have a 0-60 mph of 9.1 seconds and a top speed of 116 mph (187 km/h). The ZR TD 115 also came equipped with disc brakes at both the front and the rear sharing its brake set-up with the ZR 120, whereas the ZR TD 100 had drums at the back, sharing its brake set-up with the ZR 105.

The 2.0 diesel L series engine is highly tunable for very little money, and is consequently very popular with modifiers. The turbo boost pressure can be manually increased up to a safe limit of 19psi. The injectors can be replaced with Rover SDI injectors out of an older diesel engine, these injectors feature a nozzle with a higher flow rate allowing more fuel to be injected. Coupled with breathing modifications and a remap, for under £500 these diesel engines can see 150-160 bhp which will give the ZR 160 a run for its money due to the comparable power the diesel engine then produces.

no they never made white from the factory so its been resprayed.

the derv's are awesome for tuning, get a set of Rover SDI injectors plumbed in, and a decent decat and you'll be around 135bhp. they are very underated and the engines are spot on, can get them up to 170bhp with ease.

Painted or not it looks great. I thought it might have been a genuine white as it has the NI plate.

Course there is. It's one thing looking nice from the outside, but when it's banging around to fuck inside and feeling every microscopic hole on the road its' just not cool. In either case, it's a nice looking car, look well in white, never seen one before actually

That actually looks no bad.

Whats the ride like with the coilovers?? As standard these are terrible, proper back breakers the suspension is far too stiff. Any upgrade is bound to be a bonus.

Whats the interior like??

I went to view a TD 1 of these with the 100bhp engine. It had the boost turned up and felt pretty torquey and pulled hard. 1st gear was useless though.
