Well had a word with the boy and he said he wanted 2000 and he dose have the original alloys for the car!!??

And there is no service history as his dad serviced it

Have the belts been done? Not as expensive as the 180's but if not done will cost a few hundred, see if he will throw in the other wheels and you could flog off the others.

?2000 is a starting point, think its all down to how the car feels and goes.

that all sounds fine, look at the rear end in particular though for colour match on that bumper, that lip isnt meant to be painted look in the boot for any damage to the wheel well and dont be afraid to have a lie underneath

look for usual like colour of coolant it should be clean red, if its blackish then thats a sign the cooling systems not in good condition, check the radiator for corrosion esp at the bottom, oil should be clean and see through on the dipstick, if its black its had a lack of servicing, also checlk all the buttons inside work like horn wipers on differnt speeds, heated rear window fog lights ect, if the buttons dont light up/work it might not be a simple fix it could be an SCU even though it is rare for them to go on the zs

I forgot to say he is getting the bit on the back of the bumper fixed

[Ritchy]

yeah but the fact its painted red the bottom lip might mean its been in a bump and had a 45 bumper or somthing put on so check the spare wheel well for buckling

This ane looks like it has had a whack on the rear as Ritchy says, all Mk2 MG's never came with the rear apron painted, only the Rover 45 did.


Aye this is Swanies auld car, it had HGF, but has been repaired, and also has the passenger rear door spat missing

So the red one has maby had a bash then
