skyblueads is on a distinguished road
Should I....
Been offered a swap of my ZS 120+ for an MGF. My Zed currently has no tax or test, while the F is taxed til April, and tested til June...

Here's the F:



I'm tempted because I've never had an F, and it'll give me plenty to write about...

What do you guys think?

depends on its overall condition, is it the 120? What's the interior like and what service/engine history is there? Good cars if looked after, we have two in our household.

The windscreen surround looks to be rotting as well.

As already said - it depends on condition - the F has obvious rust on the wing and the windscreen, what are the subframes like?

Also it has what looks like a non standard wheel and a painted speedo surround.

However it appears to be a VVC so that's a bonus. As a mk1 it will be running MEMS2 which isn't OBD2 compatable.

What condition is the ZS, why isn't MOTed?

What mileage are the 2 cars?

Looking at the pic it appears to be several shades of Red, which may be a trick of the light or a camera effect
