Showing £9k now, even if the mileage is only 4k thats way too much, unless it was owned by the queen or something.

if it's the same one I'm thinking of, then it's been for sale for the last 5 years!

They recon the low miles and rare colour make it worth so much... the time it's been for sale says otherwise

whoever pays 9k for a 7 year old car has no sense at all... Unless it was 100k to start, I suppose.

The queen punting around in a ZS180. I bet after she'd had a drive we'd still be able to go into a showroom and buy one now !

Pity some of the royal youngsters didn't get involved in the British brands a few years ago eh ....

Without looking at the link it must be the 'light blue' one (Celestial Blue or something IIRC).

It's almost been 'For Sale' longer than the 'Phoenix 4' 'looked after' MG-R!

I haven't checked the link, but I'll take a punt that it's Hursley Hill Garage.

It was 13k when I bought my mk2 back in 2005, for which I paid 10k with 28 miles showing.

I got the feeling they might be selling it for a customer who refuses to accept what the car is actually worth.

I love that colour, but not worth that much, yellow seat inserts look a little out of place though..

the time its been sitting there the brakes will be needing replaced... along with most of the moving parts probably!

that garage is in partnership with the mg-rover dealer in brislington in bristol. they both over charge by a huge amount on the cars - they have come up a few times on most forums now.

i drive past it every time i head back to my folks, they always have a lot of stock of mg's and rover cos no one buys them at the price they ask!

I emailed them to ask why they are asking so much and they replied that is what the car is worth in the condition it is in!

It shall be there a long time I should think in the current climate!

Well, it's been there at least 4 years, and unless they put a more realistic price on it I have no doubt it will sit there for another 4 years.

some-how i expect the Px value to be that much lower than the selling price ;)

but ring up and ask them for a px\sale figure for a 120 and see what rough ball park figure they give you. might be worth a punt if you are not getting any takers elsewhere

9if you plan to go to the garage it is on the a37, cunning by the name of the road, it is on the way to Wells. takes about 20mins from templemeads to get there depending on traffic
