Good for you - nice.
Similar story for me too when I went to the Ford garage once for an i-pod lead. The Mrs took a fancy to a new KA and bought it ....

Good for you! We have two MGFs in out household, a much underrated car I'd say. If it wasn't for the love of the ZS I would get a VVC.
On a similar note one day we were out looking for a cheap Saxo for the wife, just learning to drive. Came back with a new Picasso!

Went out for a drink one night and came back with a wife. Then I went out again a year later and ended up with a child...and another one. Now I only drink during the day, when I look after the kids

That looks like a very tidy example.
Worth looking out for Dazzer as he can provide you with a nice new fade-resistant domed MG badge insert.

It needs a few little bits doing but head gasket pump and belt all done so not too much to worry about.

Looks good, just ready for the summer.
Saw a R reg one near us on Autotrader, had a hardtop £850, offered the guy £650 as it had a few rust spots all over. He said OK. Took it for a test drive but the clutch was slipping, so decided against it.
Your one sounds sorted. Hope the wife has fun.

Picked up my F for £250.... Then a week later saw a TF in better condition for £200!! Ahhh well I'm happy with my F
Its amazing what you can get when someone has knifed the roof and the inside has flooded... And not too bad to replace interior either

Should have told me about the £200 one, that was what I was thinking with the one I saw. Flog the hardtop £450 ish and get the clutch done, but priced it up and they wanted £900 to do the clutch.

£900 for the clutch?? I'd have done it for cost of parts! its not hard on that car... if you can get the car up high enough!
The £200 one was silver with a blue hood... Needed a new hood (or repairs) and new carpet + seats... and IIRC was only a 115... Also, I didn't know at that time you were looking for one - will keep my eyes open and let you know if I see another deal like that!
