As title suggests, I have noticed that the 1.6l mk2 110's are holding their value much better against the mk2 180's and so similar spec/mileage etc seem to go for a similar price.
So it appears to me that as I want a mk2 180 and Kat and I have decided that we don't do enough mileage between us to warrant having a 110 AND 180 I want to see what kind of spec mk2 180 people would be interested in trading for.
So, below is the spec and things I have done to our 110, if you are genuinely interested in a straight swap downgrade (for petrol consumption or whatever) please provide similar details as I have for a fair comparison.
Cheers.
MK2 MG ZS 110 saloon in Rio Red
Full MK2 bodykit and wheels
69k miles
Full years MOT
6 months tax
Had its full service just weeks ago along with the all important belts changed.
No headgasket signs, coolant level always sits just below half.
I have repaired pretty much every issue I have found with the car as its previous owner was clearly not an MG lover. This can be seen by the bodywork flaws which are the usual pepper of chips on the front and rear wheel arches but also there is a 1" dent on the bonnet and a bit of lacquer peel is evident in a few spots. There is absolutely no rust on the car and I have looked thoroughly!
Things I have done to the car include:
Arm rest replaced
Tightened handbrake.
Rear lights will be back to original
Fixed bottom front grille as was off its clips...now secure!
Front fogs installed but not hooked up
Spray centre console silver to match vents
Heatshield fitted
Repaired major bumper sag (slight crack where sag had put pressure on it)
Resistor pack replaced, blowers all working
Vinyl on front splitter in matte black
Xenon bulbs
Switch to Citroen washer jets
There were other bits that I sorted out like broken vents and non reclining passenger seat but I think you get the jist, I have tried to improve the car as much as I could to be happy with it!
All in all, its an excellent car and will give many happy miles with the belts being done, interested to see what there is on offer of a MK2 180
