LOOKING FOR 160 80th in black

Hi I would like to buy a 160 80th model in black ,if anybody has one or knows of one for sale can you please let me know thanks

I've only ever seen one. Hold on while I try and find it...

Chris had one last year at a bbq I attended. Click here for his page. It's a lovely car and I drove it briefly to move it out of the way, so I could my car out to get home at 6 the next morning. I recall thinking that I'd wake all the neighbours up when I heard the tastefully loud exhaust note. :yesnod:

Not sure whether he still has it or not. Send him a pm if you like.

cheers mate would be gratefull for any help

Its a small world I used to own that very same car sold it to a car dealer in Barry called Gary Watson might have been where Chris bought the car from

Small world!

That is where I got it from, 2 days after they got it! Still have it and would be interested in any history you know of. I know it had at least four hgf repairs but was still knackered when I bought it (got 1k off their asking price). Had that fixed (liners were all loose).

It has some parking sensors + display but no control box and I've not been able to track down which make/model they are to replace it so if you know that it would be handy!

It's had quite a number of modifications since I bought it (vhs dampers, X power springs, remap, 421 manifold, decat, tt mk7, mtec discs, itg maxogen etc)

Unfortunately I'm not selling any time soon!

Uncanny. :lol:

Hi Chris the control box was not in the car when I had it guy said he would send it to me once it came back from being repaired never heard from him again surprise surprise lol .if you want to sell the car I would go to 7k as long as the body work etc is still as good as when you bought it engine was rubbish we never had time to sort it as my dad got bone cancer that's reason I got rid of the car it was going to be a joint project for us both have a think about it and let me know

:omg:

If only the 160 80th's in silver were that popular, I might have to consider swapping cars and coming over to the Darkside :lol:

Rich.

Just buy the interior and swap it over then get a red roof lol

well, it owes me pretty much that (including purchase price). Currently insured at an agreed value of £7500 (including mods) and IF I sold it I would be getting another 160 to replace it so I guess the main deal breaker/maker for me is how many of the mods you want/I can keep for my next...

As far as I know it's pretty much is the same cosmetic condition (Mechanically its a different car from the one that barely made it home from Barry with the knackered water pump and head gasket!) The (only!) tiny spot of rust on the drivers door hasn't got any worse I just haven't got around to treating it yet. The only thing Is my fiancée has kerbed the wheels a tiny bit, nothing major but could do with a rub down and respray. There is also a tiny tear in the drivers bolster, I have got all the bits to do a professional repair (from the leather care people at mg live) but haven't got around to doing it yet!

Full list of stuff since I brought it:

VHS (Bilstein) dampers
X-power (Eibach) springs
Eliseparts Silenced decat
PTP (Janspeed) 4-2-1 manifold - heatwrapped
TT mk7/3 exhaust

New coolant temp sensor (was thinking it was 60 degrees all the time)
Cambelts/Aux Belts done
Headgasket done with MLS including fixing the liners (all 4 loose)
Stainless steel underfloor coolant pipes
new 82 deg light spring (light grey) PRT
Toyo T1-R's all round
Z&F phase 2 Remap (7450rpm redline)
MGF Mania glass rear screen
refurbished steering rack + new track rod ends
four wheel laser alignment
vibe liteair speakers + fli amp
uprated speakers for t-bar (forgot which ones)
Brushed ali heater knobs + chrome rings
stebel-like nautilus horn

Sailed through the MOT recently, no advisories (but plenty of compliments!).

Engine is spot on since getting it fixed.

Hi Chris my offer of 7k still stands, I would think most people reading this would think I have got a screw lose offering 7k for a high mileage tf ,the fact is it would be nice to have the car back as my dad has now died and its more to do with that than what you have or have not done to the car, if you brake down the price I am giving you the 2k you spent on the car off Gary Watson plus 5k for the work on the mods, so I think you would be getting a very good deal in six months I will probably think I was nuts offering you 7k but at this moment in time that's what I will pay you for the car, someone on the forum said a car is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it and I think that is the reality in this case not the market value just the value to me because of my dad etc so have a think about it if you chose to sell fine if not I will buy another car all the best

Did you get my PM?
