Hi, trying to promote MG TF's here in Northern Ireland, I now have 7, my LeMans green 135 is my everyday car, Brilliant car and super cheap insurance, would not be without it.
Are there many TF's left over here? Have not seen one in years,

I've got one of them, an X power grey 135 with a few wee mods.

Currently sitting on axle stands waiting for me to change the front wishbones and rear suspension arms. 😣

Love driving it, though my wife is finding it harder to get in & out of.

Up on the north coast, Coleraine.

So far, I've been fortunate in stripping it, only sheared one bolt on the front mount. Have a new set of those to do as well 🤨

I have become an expert at drilling out, and re tapping, sheared off subrame mount bolts, have not had a single car without at least 1 or 2 sheared bolts, fronts are not so bad but rear foreward mounts are a bugger, but you just have to get it done, every car i have has 100% mounts, a few of them SS items, First thing i look for, then every car gets SS coolant pipes, New Discs and Pads cost peanuts, so they get them as required, Tyres have to be 'Spot On' on every car,
But the crazy thing is that i only drive one car, the green one that dog loves, she does not like getting into any of the others??
Even in Summer (remember that?) with hood down and windows open she will not budge,
Best car i have ever owned,

Btw, whereabouts are you Corliss, maybe run into you somewhere over the summer.

Had an MOT booked for the end of the month but I've had to push it back, too much else going on to get the car ready. Hopefully have it on the road in a couple of months.
