I think VVC160 owns the blue 160. It appears from the translation of the listing on Leboncoin that it's up for sale with a few faults, including a failure on emissions.

Description:

MG TF 160 CV VVC Trophy Blue RHD 2003 of 115,000 miles:

Rolls every day.
Owned and registered by me summer 2011 ...

To yield to non-neophyte, in priority ...

To see:
LDR leak (no oil pollution or LDR)
Lower triangles before changed little ago ( cradle front supports not yet replaced)
Unacceptable CO rate during the CT
(I am looking for μ probes and a CAT, to test the origin of the defect) ...

VS counter-visit before early March.

MAKE OFFER, PLEASE!
NOTE: If you do not get an answer, it's because your proposal does not fit my criteria!
Payment method: bank transfer, recovery of the car from collection.
Thanks & good year!

I could be wrong ( not for the first time ) but i think he's thinking of buying the 115 and is asking for advice :drive:

pardonnez-moi pour mon stupidement, but I thought a Spark was 135 not 115?
Could be wrong, often am. Or did they do it in both engine sizes?

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

YOU're the 1st POWERFUL in french on any forum, Ebay + Gumtree!
>>>>>>>>> CONGRATULATIONS ;)
Please, let's get in touch..... Being prettily ready to reward an efficient intermediary.
My english stays scholastic (but keeping command of french language... - latin trained as a pupil), I'm able to find many vocabulary faults thru UK adverts (bargin, convertable, etc).

Indeed, I won't move to collect a car when being given only a few text messages like informations vs V5 scan, TAX & MOT info by email......

Spark, Sprint & Sunstorm were special editions, AFIK... with the 16' + big brakes (<=> all I need in the TF!!!)
Except I don't llove the mixed upholstery (alcantara).

TO KEEP BEING CONCISE:
=> I wish to own today TWO CARS... with reduced insurance policies, spending the same budget globally.

- A TF convertible
- A ZT estate, BMW powered (135, remap as well)

Thought a red ZT-T would match the blue already owned. LIKE THESE:



Such a pain getting it! Only 3 seen thru yrs...
Seen also 3 times the same Rio red ZTT (1st time 12 2013 at over £2000, last time at £800)
Also won an auction for a nightfire (not bright enough to get nicely into the engine compartment!!!) at £820, near Stratford.... Didn't collect vs lack of deal "fun"!

And I'll could more easily sort the MPI engine failures IMHO...
That's all, folks
But story is almost 3 years old......... ;(

The most disappointing story was the Kentish one in Folkestone (vs TF coming from Gravesend)......
Had I had an intermediary, wouldn't have messed planning my trip just to read "car already gone"

Alcantara is the best.
