Great cars, like everything its how they have been treated. Your one sounds like its been serviced on time and had the good mods done.
Think I would just check insurance on it.
Hope its a good one, but plenty of help on here if you need it.
Have to keep us informed of any MG's that come in for breaking, always bits required.

Just had a ZS come in (1.8 i think) in silver. Loads of Rovers and couple of ZRs
My insurance quote was ?620 FC with my girlfriend as named driver, or ?712 just myself. I thought this was pretty good for a 24 year old. Paying ?600 for my 1.8 Escort lol

Not bad, have heard of ?1000's for young drivers, best to know what you are in for.

Good that you came to a forum to ask people who actually own the car. Some of my mates slate my car, having never driven it, and I get sick of the "headgasket is gonna go" comments.... when I own a KV6. My car has had resistor pack failure, which stops the fan blowing at 1 and 2 (less than a fiver and 10 minutes of your time) the clutch go (fair enough), and the plenum go, that's about it. Took my mate out for a ride who had a ZR that crapped out on him, and bought a clio, said that my car won't last that long... only had to point him at my odometer reading 136,000 miles and still going strong.

Also, the car you are looking at is owned by someone on this forum mate. I may have even seen it about, I've seen about 3 trophy blue saloon mark 1s, apart from my own in the Medway area!
