Hello mate, hope all is well with you?

Up to £2k for a really nice one
Rather a hatch again as just more accessible space for kids stuff
Don't mind either mk1 or 2
Would prefer a darker colour blues, green or maybe some of the reds dependant on overall condition.

Well picked it up easily and she is now home. There are a few things I need to look into (doesn't seem to be anything major, few little clunks here and there) and it certainly needs the induction system sorting. Had forgotten how they feel slightly strangled with a standard setup so that will be ok the list shortly to be sorted by on the whole it drives very nicely, gives the proper surges and appropriate revs and although quieter it sounds nice too.

Fingers crossed she is a good'un

Very true Mick, as much as my work colleagues tend to skate the Mg / Rover brand when I took a couple of the techs out in the 400 they were very surprised about how well she goes.
They are very underestimated. Yes I'm sure the right one will come along if I keep my eyes open.
How is yours going now on the conversion front?
