+1 Even better if the original wheels are included in the price

Sure a spat would turn up so you would get that in time too

As said already check it has been serviced, even if you can check things like the pollen filter that are easy forgotten about....if it has one?!?!

Fuel filter, does it look like it was fitted when Peter was a boy?? Air filter, is it blacker than a miners wotsit?

[Ritchy]

did they make fuel filters for coal?

Yeeh I like the green one as has a bit of history here and I got an insurance quote for it at 1215 a year so might be a good option

P.s and I never even noticed that the spat was missing in the first place

My first car was a 10 hp ford special, with a ford 8 hp cylinder head and twin carbs, fiberglass body, like the old merc 300 sl.

Great days, you lot dont know how lucky you are, with all the great, safe, cars around now.



Apart from Mick of course, lol.

I have a door spat for said side

If the green one is known by other members Id always favour that one as chances are its been well looked after. The lack of service wouldnt worry me as long as you look over it.

I fitted a set of resistors to a mates 200 the other day thought Id shake his pollen filter out whilst there, only to find there wasnt one fitted!!

They could have been the original wheels. When I bought my mk2 it had the kit and straights fitted. I've heard a lot of people call them mk 1 wheels but they were available as an optional extra all the way through the range.

I've also heard that when MGR started to go under they just put whatever they had lying around on the cars.

Mk1 wheels on a mk2 with the 180 bodykit is visually wrong as the mk2 alloys were dimensionally different in width in order to fill the arch extensions. But I guess there were other wheel options if you did not have the 180 bodykit fitted.

[gsinclairzs]

I agree mate. They did sit too far into the arches. All I'm saying is that 11 spoke weren't always fitted with the kit, although usually that was the case.
