I was going to say christ that one is expensive (first ebay link)! I recently bought an MGF SE Wedgewood, MY2000 for £2100 with 57k from new. That is a limited run, 1 of 500. Get some pics up, sounds nice.

think i saw that one listed, wonder why it doesnt have the colour coded s/wheel. all trophys are ment to have them as standard. hope its a good one, you got a bargain there.

We opted for the 120 as the VVC would be too much for the missus. Insurance-wise it was alot cheaper. Anyways they are the same until you wind the VVC up then it takes off.

They are quick, great fun to drive, took mine to a mg on track day at north wealds. think i had the most fun out of everyone, you will love it

Is your ZS a 180? Im rather tempted by a yellow Mk1 180 to eventally replace my Mk2 & to go with a MGF lol

Im 22 & was paying £520 fully comp with 5yrs no claims on the MGF now with the ZS im paying £749 fully comp with 5yrs no claims.

Makes no sence to me.
