SiC Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 I paid my £1.99 to TotalCarCheck on that harvest gold one nearish, as I was intrigued... OwnershipNo. Of Previous Keepers: 2Current Keeper Acquired Date: 09 May 2017Previous Keeper Sold Date: 09 May 2017Previous Keeper Acquired Date: 17 April 2003Vehicle Age: 42 years 11 monthsRegistration Date: 02 August 1974The only MOT it has was 24th April 2017.Hmm! Makes you wonder why the second owner had it 14 years and not MOT'd at least since 2005, got it MOT'd and then sold it month later. Or it was "restored"/bodged by a garage to get through an MOT and shifted on, like that local orange one to me. At least its not too far to go investigate. egg and Dick Longbridge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymous user Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Could have been owned by someone like me who let it sit in the garage for a few years, always intending to put it on the road for the summer, but never getting around to it. Then after several years realising that it was never going to be used again finally biting the bullet recommissioning it and selling it. This was me with my TR7, there was nothing wrong with it, it was just that I had other things going on and it was out of sight out of mind down at my brother's. It was there for five years before I accepted that I was never going to want to use it again. SiC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get bored when I finish a car, as soon as it's no longer a project it's only a matter of time until it goes. The Capri is supposedly a keeper but who knows once it's done.......

Dick Longbridge Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 That yellow/beige/sick colour chrome bumper GT on the previous page looks lovely at a glance. The low number of owners is reassuring too. Get in there!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 Still the question on why the current owner has only had it for 2 months. But again, could be genuine. Cash/uncomfortable/didn't gell/a death/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 Impulse purchases are also a bit harder to justify right now too, as this month my savings have taken a beating from buying the Aldi A4 and my wifes operation (went private, NHS was 10 month wait).... tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mally Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 If its been on a private reg maybe MOT history doesn't show?Or the last MOT guy entered chassis no a bit wrong, or something such.If it has been stood that long I'd leave it stood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain_70s Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 A blue S-reg Roadster drove past me as I wandered down to the chippy today. Only just realised how high the rubber bumper models ride, the GTs look better I think. Bought one yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Snipes Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 FFS haven't you got one yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 No. The modern Aldi A4 has eaten up car budget for cars. Especially as it needs fixing. Plus wife has been feeling pretty crap after the procedure and so didn't like the idea of me buggering off for the day. Hence my silence a bit recently on this thread!

Alexg Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 The MOT history on that RR black rubber bumper once is excellent. Tell the vendor to stick a full year on it and pony up. I think it needs one of those front spoilers personally, but they're about 70 quid. scruff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripped fred Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 I would also be considering the RR one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cort16 Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 ^ I like the green one. The 1200 ebay one has 8 months mot so it must really have scraped past this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Laurence Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Have you seen this one yet? £2600 is possibly slightly more than you'd pay for a rubber bumper, but the MOT history suggests it's fairly solid, though it doesn't seem to have been driven a lot recently https://www.gumtree.com/p/mg/mg-bgt/1255473360 SiC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
