Hi.

I own a MGF 160 Trophy in yellow!!

Things to look out for.

Not a huge amount other than the headgasket, check its had the belts done, service history upto date, it has hyrogas suspension which is hard as a rock so its quite a ferm ride, make sure its all level & pumped up.
check the exhaust is not blowing, the flexi pipe can split after awhile & its abit of a git to fix.

Make sure its a genuine trophy, you can tell these apart as they have 16" 11spoke alloys, big brakes ( no abs ) & colour coded interior, oh and ofcourse the rear spoiler & front splitter.

Being a 160 its a very nippy little car & defently the one to go for.

best of luck with the viewing.

if all fails on this one

Mine is forsale lol

cheers for that fella ive already bought it it was on ebay listed wrongly it was up for buy it now 2400 but got it for 2300, spoke to the bloke about a few things he priced it low cos hes just bought a van and he wants to kit it out for work,the mot runs out at the end of this month but its only done 54k he has bill for headgasket etc being done and service history and it looks nice from pics, it has everything you mentioned apart from colour coded steering wheel, but i brought it on the understanding that i would have it if it was as he described it
