With the Mk1 under a offer I cant turn down, I set out to find me a mk2, only took 48hr!! ....and what beaut! Only 2 very small car park dents, just needs some paint correction and it will look like its straight from the showroom!!
71k(a few more than i would like) on a '54' plate. Brilliant history, with all the right bits done. Brought from a gentleman in his 60's, what could go wrong????
Only bad point, is a whine from the gearbox under load which will need addressing, but no major concern right now.

Bet the old boy never got above 60.
Looks a great motor, wheels look better looked after than mine, have to arrange another meet so we can see it in the flesh.

Good spot Ross just found it on XPF owned by a guy called Brett. Had a brand new inlet mani fitted a few years ago, good to know. Very please seems to have been loved by the last 2 owners, and garaged since 2008.

Nice,
There does seem to be a lot of late ones about in black. Not many yellow / red ones.
I know, I'd love a yellow saloon or red one, mk2's seem to be black/silver/xpower

You ZS whore! :laugh:
Nice, black MK2's remind me of Darth Vader from the front.
Not usually a fan of MK1's but that red one is nice. Hard to choose between the 2.
Nice little collection.;)

Haven't had time to work my magic on the mk2 yet :mml: Where as the mk1 is finished.

Very nice!
When I was looking I wanted a silver or black. Pannel gaps arent a issue with black cars :)
I Have seen that car years ago when I bought a set of wheels off Brett. It was his price and joy! and was very fussy with it!!

It shows too, there genuinely isn't a mark on it, only the 2 tiny car park dents.

Didn't need advertising, it was a car in demand.
The plate is still mine, it just takes a couple of weeks to sort it out via the dvla.

Lol Jim, if you just kept hold of one in the first place you wouldn't be experiencing this stress :p

Jim, why did you sell it in the first place? Was a family car to start with, with it being a hatchback and all ;)

Didin't know you had a maestro, what model is it, why are you breaking it?
I know some one who is looking for one.
Very nice car :clap2::clap2::clap2: looks stunning in black, think you may have found a good buy there :clap2::clap2::clap2: if your selling the MG reg, send me a message what price you are looking for, as might know someone who's interested, because as you probably know, far better selling it private, than the rip off reg dealers :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

It is the uber rare 1600 model on an A reg and needs all new outer panels and some foot well repairs too. It owes me 270 quid.

Is it the early one with the R series or the later S series engine. Those twin choke Webers were a ****** to keep in tune !!!!!!!!!!!!!

R series and they are brand new iirc. Engine runs fine, interior is immaculate but the shell needs restoring. The car has only done 40k miles and it really shows.
