Mk1 MGF VVC Flame red HGF Top of the range model,

My new MGF 1.8 VVC, sold my other one to fund the HGF on this one, Basically its top of the range, Its has the 16" square spoke wheels with pirelli tyres which are all like new, brand new rear window fitted, mesh windstop with no holes, air con, front fog lights, 2 sets of keys and 2 x fobs, bodywork is superb in Flame red, Rear brake light, shiny like new chrome exhaust, paperwork dating back for many many years, Tracker system installed, 6 cd Original Multichanger the works! Unfortunatly the engine is knackered, it needs a new one or some serious attention so considering selling it for spares or repairs. Far too good to send dow the scrapyard and have decided (i think) to just cut my losses and let her go to someone who has the time to repair the engine, currently 83,000 miles on the clock. Its a bloody shame as i really wanted to her rise from the flames and get back on the road and i sold my previous fully working MK1 to fund the repair.

If i were to be asking around the £600 mark would that be about right? Dont forget, she had nearly every optional extra available installed when purchased and its all original with the bodywork in excellent condition.

Why not get another engine off eBay?

There isnt one local enough for me that fits the bill. Plus i have my eye on a TF160.

There are courier firms that over a service for engines.

Well the car is up for sale, dont want to change the engine over and havent got time to do it either to be honest. Just need it gone now.

Up for sale on numerous sites, well worth the asking price for parts alone in my opinion.

1997 MG MGF 1.8I VVC Head gasket gone, otherwise excellent car, many extras Completed

You will be very lucky to get £600 :yesnod:
I just sold my excellent F with 73k & leather seats, s/s exhaust & manifold, 52 TB, K&N splitter & cone filter etc. for £700

Its not advertised for £600, its up for £500. hoping to get the £450 mark.

Seems you've doubled up your ebay ads!!

yes i know, therefore its advertised on my page and my dads so were covering both devon and bristol areas if people search within x amount of miles, i have put on the listing hat its been listed twice.

I beg to differ on the 'Top of the range' and almost every extra possible! Its a Mk1 but has Mk2 VVC wheels on it, metallic paint/pearlescent paint was an extra £240/£315, Air Con £1200, Leather seats £800, passenger air bag £355 _ the front fog lihjts were an factory fitted extra.
