Meg is for Sale

Well she passed her MOT the other week after not being used for over a year, with just an advisory about one of the suspension arms (presume a lower) needing rust to be cleaned off (they were replaced a couple of years back so it must be surface rust).. pretty amazing for a 17 year old car! I have a pair of better rear brake discs in the boot as well. As you can see her lovely Nightfire Red Metallic paint shines.

Those of you who have read my posts over the years will know she has had various bits done to her:

1. 16" Square Spokes - were refurbed although little curbing now - still look great
2. TF fornt end - not due to accident damage but to get better lighting! The bumper shade is slightly off but most people don't notice
3. TF Sunstorm grey interior with leather/alcantara seats.
4. Plasma dials
5. 2004 Hood with good rear window
6. Both rear lower sills have been properly repaired with good metal in the typical rust areas
7. Head gasket was replaced by Russell soon after I got her many years ago now!
8. Got her a hard top as the old hood (hence the new one being put on) leaked and let water under the carpet! The hard top paint is horrible but I was going to cover it with vinyl which is cheap as chips - the liner is brand new!
9. Stainless steel underfloor pipes.
10. Replacement radiator.
11. VVC alloy inlet manifold (to stop the dreaded plastic manifold leaks)
12. Larger TF Air box

She is a great old girl... with lots of life left in her. When I took her for her MOT I noticed how much more powerful she is than my 115 TF.... pics below:









I'm looking for £650 without the hardtop or £750 with....

That's a nice looking thing. :broon:

Keen price too, shouldn't have much of a problem moving it on.

Adam,

Where is Meg? She's an interesting car and priced to sell. There may be someone up here who is interested.

Massive bargain!

I am in SE London near Greenwich, sorry shoudl have added that!

...for a moment I thought that's what I want - until I calculated the registration tax my government is asking for. €872.00! :bang:

Bloody hell that's a lot!

:omg: is that a one off, for life payment or 12 months??? :omg:

one off to get the Irish registration documents, then €800 per year road tax...

Well today Meg went off with her new owners. They live in a small village in wales... and Meg will have a barn to live in when it rains!

She behaved perfectly right up the point where they were about to drive away then her central locking went insane (just like she didn't want to go after 10 years with me!). It is bound to be something simple as the immobiliser was working fine... so off she went for her hundreds of miles journey to her new home! Steve the new owner will sort it when he starts being a typical MGer and starts playing!

I am thinking maybe she got super-locked (which I never did) and got confused - as as soon as she was unlocked she locked herself again... and the driver door would not open? Anyway, apparently others around Megs price they had seen were sheds, and so the new owners were happy she looked so good and had so much done to her over the years.

I will point them to this brilliant forum for the help and advice that is needed when you join the fold!

Nice one :broon:

Where in Wales Adam? Might be near me
