What a car I thought that it would be a very long time before I seen it fixed ( knowing the price of new mg parts) but well done its a amazing car and its a credit to yourself and the paint work is stunning.

Thanks for all the compliments

I'm afraid I'd never sell it, and even if I did, I'd guess its now about worthless as a complete car? Given that everyone in the MG scene knows about my accident?

Not after documenting how much time and effort you've put into getting it fixed mate .... far from it.

I don't think people will question the rebuild quality as it has been done to an excellent standard and the car looks immaculate. It's also a rare beastie with the supercharger. The only thing people may query is the reason for the accident and whether you have been ragging the car since you've had it.

Other than that, should find a buyer quickly at a reasonable price...not that you're selling anyways!

The thing with ragging it is that realistically, what's the point in having it tuned up of you're not going to? I know the previous owners drove it to its limits, that didn't put me off. And it's always obvious this car will always been driven like that.

I'm rather pleased at these responses though, it's rather reassuring

Be a very very long time before even so much as consider getting rid though

Haha I used to warm mine up and then spend 1/4 of a tank ragging seven bells out of it. As Nathan says what's the point of having it if u don't ever use it??
Once u have tasted a 250+ hp kv6 spinning upto the redline then u can't help it lol.
