RobSheffield Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Bought this in April for a nice summer car, but now looking for a bit of a change. 50,000 miles Half leather interior, VVC (Variable Valve Control) 145 BHP model, special VVC only alloys. MOT til May 2012, Tax til Nov 2011 Recently had suspension pump up, both cambelts, water pump, tensioners, and aux belt done. Full underbody reseal/wax New sports exhaust, replacement hood. Drives well and not too bad at all on fuel, averaging around 35 mpg (mix of town use on weekends and long run weekends) Few age related marks, parks weekdays in a busy multistory so has a few dings on the door as you often get with age. Drivers bolster is a bit worn but otherwise car is in good condition. EDIT - Now Looking for £1300 ono. PM me, email me at [email protected] or call me on 01709 544623 (Home) or 07725 147993 Only got a couple of pics which are attached Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Price drop to £1300 which i think is pretty good considering age, mileage and condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Had put it on ebay, and after a week of boring emails from Numpties, im dropping the price to £1300. Id rather someone who has a clue about cars in general had it rather than readvertise it on Ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I bet half the emails were about head gaskets? Numpties! Mother in law has one and loves it, she is a qualified hairdresser though , I'd have it as a fun car if I had space/money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mother in law has one and loves it, she is a qualified hairdresser though , I'd have it as a fun car if I had space/money. Yes mate they were, despite me putting in the advert that the Mk2 MGF doesnt have the same head gasket issues, and the VVC definately doesnt! Iv loved driving it, although only really had the top down maybe 5 or 10 days, I work shifts and drop it on the way home quite often as a chill out I think it is highly likely to be a new lady owner. Although its the 145 bhp VVc its really not what you would call fast unless you were graduating from a basic first car kinda thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Cheers Scott mate. Yeah im surprised. My uncle was just saying how surprising it is. Makes you wonder what an 80,000 mile 1.8 MPI standard one would fetch! Probably around £500! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Wow - that's cheap Rob. As for head gaskets, our '53 plate MG ZR 105 went this year at 60k miles. Sad but true. Not a difficult job to do though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a difficult job to do though. Hi Pete, not seen you on here for ages! I know, lots of car for the money. Yeah the HG on even some newer MG/Rover engines still go even now, but the VVC is not nearly so susceptible as the earlier cars were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 Price drop to £1300. Im looking at car sharing with a friend to work. £4 a day parking is a bit daft! Given ebay a rest for a while, gave Pistonheads a try, but only had 2 clear scam emails so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 You tried mg-rover.org? Granted it's never normally productive selling on the owners club, but potential owners do sometimes appear looking for info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted it's never normally productive selling on the owners club, but potential owners do sometimes appear looking for info. Just had a look, but id have to pay a sub, and to be fair, there are already 2 unsold VVC's on there (although £400 more and with an extra 10k miles) but thanks for the suggestion.
