Mk1 (130 ?) Hatch

Dan1971 · 08-10-13, 08:08 AM

Wouldn't normally mention one of these, but thought I'd post this up as it looks very clean in Red and has a Mk2 Red alcantara interior. Bit pricey, but get it for maybe £1200 - throw some straights on, you'd have a very clean Mk1 hatch.

The seller has been banned off a few MG Rover forums for selling junk, take a look at the mechanical bits he's got for sale, all painted Silver, the cylinder head is comedy, painted valves ftw.

Sellers f/b says it all really

Looks like he's been at some of the brackets in the engine bay, the left engine hydromount bar bit has had the silver "brand new" treatment.

He's certainly a c**k of great enormity and hell spray anything silver.
Seen starter motors, turbos, gearboxes and full blocks with it done.
That head is taking the pi*s though!

The car needs to be rescued before he spray paints that alcantara!

Also looks like he's whacked shoe polish all over the dashboard

On another note: most (if not all) of his positive feedback comes from fish food. And most of his neg rep is for car parts.

He's a scammer and tbh needs to be arrested.

Get onto him dan.

Yes, painting any internal parts of a head will cause problems, but it looks real pretty in the advert.

One of the first things I noticed was how overdressed the dash was. Also, the bumper doesn't have the cut out, is that normal for lower spec zeds?

Shame, could probably be a good car but no way of telling what horrors have been masked.

Wrong bumper for a 120 at the back, should have the cut out as mentioned

Also the lock on the boot has been painted red so Id put money on it being in a rear end smash.

Whoever said you cant polish a turd clearly hasnt seen this

Something does not seem right, I concerned about the colour of the coolant tank.
