LOL 350 mile round trip ..... with wife + 4 kids, and just took 1/2 day holiday with 110 miles round trip (NOT to bloody buy) it is NOT going to happen .... does anyone sell these in the North?

Seen that one earlier and got excited but then googled 'billericay'
Too far but I want one and the other half is living in Norfolk at the minute :/
Might be worth a trip.

Go for it ....I'm the bottom of the food chain in our house pal, no 350 mile round trips for me ....

My mum & dad showed me this earlier as they are also going to look at this one as after driving mine the other week and again today they are selling their 01 Mercedes to get something cheaper and more fun to drive.
Sounds strange doesn't it going from a Merc to an MG but they're certain they want to plus they're only a 15 min drive from us.

Yes found that out on Thursday ...... top dollar asking price ...... and on phone told me he had bills to prove the history.... when i got there, nice motor BUT NO bills, and a call to FSH garage confirmed NO CAM belt change ... so 1/2 day holiday, 6 hours travel/viewing wasted ....... wife very UNHAPPY !!!!!! and oldest son STILL very disappointed - almost as mush as me ..... so that taught me, no matter HOW they look in the Ad ... 100 miles round trip is my max distance to travel (unless someone trusted has had eyes on it)

I can beat that 450 mile round trip with my mate to find out the car had a engine management light on! even though the seller specifically told us it had no lights on the dash

O well it was a day out I suppose

After speaking to my Dad again, it looks like they are not going to go for this one as it still won't be a really cheap to run car. I've said for nearly the same driving experience minus the soundtrack you get he would enjoy driving a 120 model just the same so I think it'll be left as is for now on our part.

Nice looking red one on Ebay. New listing and no details yet though. In Gloucester.

I've seen that one, cracking interior, but it's missing the bodykit and vent off the drivers side wing
