Can't help you with that exact car. But owned a ZR160 for a year or so. Great car despite people slating them. Handling is brilliant. Little bit of a stiff ride if your not use to it. Check the standard Rover/MG stuff. It runs the VVC variant of the engine. Main thing to look out for is the standard head gasket issues. Run it up to temperature. Check the fluids for cross contamination.
I see in the advert that they talk of the engine being rebuilt by the previous owner. I would want to see receipts or proof of it. Without that, its all words. Should have had the MLS head gasket fitted, new stretch bolts and realistically the waterpump, tensioners and belts replaced. Pretty stiff as I said, so check the rack, track rod ends etc. Apart from that, they aren't bad on corrosion, so bodily, apart from looking for signs of accident damage, no major worries there. Looks like its got the wrong rear lights, k&n panel filter maybe (by the stickers)...
Hope it helps.
