Is this a fair price ? - Page 2

Model type or edition plays a big part in prices, our MGF Wedgewood SE sees prices around the £2k mark still. Can't see why but that is what is seen on ebay recently, being a 500 off run helps as not many around I guess. If a run of the mill TF then prices do fall as they are all getting on now. Still, at £600 it looked a bargin for a TF and can easily be modified inside and out to make it worth a lot more for little outlay.

Get it for £600 ?.

big_wasa · 26-09-13, 08:22 PM

yep, with the roof.

Drives fine but the tyres are sh##ed

front and rears are a different size.

check the brake lines for rust, the metal ferrules on my front rubber hoses had rusted, put s/s ones on.

Had the belts, tensioners etc done and a full service done by MG Rover soloutions. He travels from Brands Hatch area.

Have fun. Cheap buy.

That's good, bring it up to scratch over the winter then sell for a tidy profit in the spring.

yeh that's one thought. ive also got mad ideas of a 200bhp engine swap. Its just one of them cars that's on the bucket list and it just came up cheap.

How much of a pig are they to get at for the belts ? the K16 belts in a zs are a very easy.

Well that's the roof sold making it a £400 Tf with out Hgf

Downside is I can already add £120 for four good tyres on used rims

And it needs a full new exhaust and the rear window fixing now ive sold the hard top.

My aim is to have it Mot'd and able to do a day at Cadwell next spring and keep the cost under what I can sell it for.

When the engine covers off, you get goodish access to the engine.

Think Russell did my belts and a Full service in 3/3 1/2 hours or so.

Different alternator belt if you have a/c.

There is a company thats put a KV6 into their TF. so is doable. MG Lifestyle.
