Down to earth list:

• Cambelts & service.

Not so down to earth list:

• Manifolds.
• Sports cat.
• Lowering springs.
• Cams.
• Remap.
• New 18" alloys.

Up with the fairies list:

• Throttle bodies.
• Cambelt conversion.
• Full ecu change.

Way beyond the fairies list:

• RWD V8.

But I think it'll be happy with belts and a service for now

1). Look at it lovingly

2). Regret paying £8995 from MG High Wycombe in Dec 2008 as it is now worth half that if I'm lucky

3). Accept that I will have to keep it forever or take a big loss

4). Maybe refurb wheels

Now i may have a to-do list...

New springs or shocks (see other thread).

The future is not so bright!!!

I'd be happy with a new steering wheel and some red interior bulbs right now TBH. Will get the rally bumper back on after Christmas

1 Get it back from the garage
2 take it to my local garage for a service
3 fit some new brakes
4 paint the black section on my bumper again

I'm sure if you don't buy it in Dec 2008 you will be fine

Now if you had bought one in Dec 2007 then it was alot of money indeed, but I'm sure you knew what you were buying seeing that there was no dealership support for that price? Like many we see something we like all sense goes out the window!


At the end of the day, are you happy with it? If so then what it cost and what it is worth doesn't matter. Mine was not cheap when first bought, but that was 3.5 years ago, today it is practically worthless, but I don't care as I love it to bits
