Seen a car on the bay that could possibly do as a donor just wondered if there's anyone in Southampton that would go a check the engine over. It's a previous cat D 52 plate without the belts done, So not ideal, but thinking that gives an excuse to change cams during the swap. ;)

Would you be willing to take a quick look at it if it came to it? It's only the engine I'm interested in. :)

Hi
My auction is for MG ZS 180 2.5 petrol .
CAR HAVE SMALL ACCIDENT AT REAR NOTHIG BIG ONLY BUMPER NEED TO BE CHANGE PLEASE SEE PHOTO....
Is a nice fast car with only 40k miles done, 6 month mot and NO TAX.
This car was insurance write of cat. D years ago after that was tested by vosa and pass all tests is a full raod legal car.

CAR SELLS MY FRIEND , ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL 07889417940

I would be a little wary just because of the very poor wording and the fact it's badly advertised but I do like the Monogram interior.

More alarm bells sounding from a question asked...

Q: Hi intrested in your 180 do you have the service history for the engine and do you know if the belts have been changed? What sort of price were you after? Cheers James
A: Hi I have no service book was not changed belts, Car have small accident at rear(write of cat.c) was tested by vosa and pass all tests.

In the earlier part it was a Cat D write off.
