Sold 1998 MGF 1.8vvc BRG/black leather with hardtop

[HMC]

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 Devon

Nb 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.

I've also PM'd about this. HOT!

[Aston Martin]

Can't you get £200 just for hardtop?

[dave21478]

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]

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.

[Six-cylinder]

I am glad I have been out today so I am not at the front of the queue!

[purplebargeken]

These are fucking ace. 

 

Jack, this is right up your street, although not Amazon.

Anyone want a puma? With a new clutch?

Anyone want a puma? With a new clutch?

How much?

[The Moog]

What it owes me which is £375

[wuvvum]

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.

[Fabergé Greggs]

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 

[RobT]

HMC is in clearout mode, so it's priced to sell I'd imagine!

[Tamworthbay]

What it owes me which is £375

Beyond me at the moment unfortunately.

Thanks, but with one Puma already I should spend only on that one really. Would have been interested if super cheap as a runabout come possible spares car (we'll make one good out of two one way or the other)

[HMC]

Sold!

[The Moog]

All insured now. 

 

Are these made of unicorn droppings? Cheapest quote with NCB and a bulgarian wanderer on the policy is £1800!  Luckily it will be cancelled in the next week.

[Jim Bell]

No bother. They do a nice line in hop up parts too. Mmmmmm glossy catalogues.

[Bucketeer]

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.

[The Moog]

Just drive it like this 

 

[HMC]

HMC and HMC_jr2 Waved goodbye to bucketeer and the MGF this afternoon, no pics as HMC_jr2 was distracting me by trying to eat a pencil.

[The Moog]

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.

[NorthernMonkey]

You'd better be fetching it tonight...I'll bring the SLK and we can see who gets the most bird crap on the upholstery whilst parked under the trees...

[The Moog]

Deal!
