HMC Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 ThIs is a great little MGF VVC in a great colour and with loads of history. Mot to November. Drives well although there's a top end tappet noise that is from the VVC mechanism. Doesn't affect the performance- very quick! Toyo proxes all round, has a Scorpion stainless exhaust too that sounds brilliantly raspy, but not obtrusive. White hardtop included. The hood is excellent and has a glass heated rear window and a pop up wind deflector. If you check the mot history there are a few advisories but the vendor I bought it off (who'd owned it along with several other cars since 2004) said his tester was like that. If you do brake heavily there is a very slight imbalance, which passed the mot but is noted as an advisory. The body is very straight with the odd small dint and a bit of bubbling on the osf wing. 2x keys with dealer fob, original vehicle purchase invoice, and a whole load of history including nearly 2 grand for a replacement engine a couple of years ago with new cam belt, head gasket water pump, starter motor etc after the original motor snapped its cambelt. I've been quite critical- it's a great little car that has obviously been well looked after, on the button and ready to go. Shiters price £300 Tavistock DevonNb the pic on the truck isn't it broken down, it's when it was delivered when I'd bought it!I can get more pics when I'm back off holiday. richardthestag, dave21478, Barry Cade and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Martin Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Can't you get £200 just for hardtop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave21478 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 srsly? 300?Its mid May, a two seater cabrio should be selling for a fuck-load more than that! MGFs literally cant get any cheaper.Mid engined RWD fun for the price of a mediocre bicycle. If I didnt already have one I would be all over this.

Pillock Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I've read that advert for a £300 hardtopped MOTed MGF three times looking for the gigantic mechanical failure that explains the price.Someone is hopefully snapping that up right now, that's a megabarg.

wuvvum Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Agree with the above - this is far too cheap. Especially since I'm shortly going to be attempting to sell an MGF sans hardtop, and will need to get more than that for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabergé Greggs Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I TRIED EVER SO HARD TO BUY THIS- I pm'd the minute I saw it! Between this and the Seat Ibiza, i'm missing out on all the mega barg weapons these days lols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucketeer Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I was getting all excited about delivering this to the Moog as it'll be the first time in all of ever that I'll be in a floppytop out on the open road. Then I spotted that it has a hardtop. Oh well, I'll have to wait a bit longer to pop my floppy cherry. HMC and The Moog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moog Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Car delivered safely to Accrington. Bucketeer is a bit broken, but I think he is addicted. It is one very quick car! Lovely sound as well. Also found out about MG on track - they do track days so that will be great. HMC and Jim Bell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
