Where'd you get that from then ? I've been watching a few and at an 11 plate the warranty will be nearly out. Really quite fancied one that was towards the end of it's warranty and have always said that if you take it for what it is - nearly new and cheap - you shouldn't be disappointed.
There was one like yours at Bristol Street - 5K miles for about £7K and another with 60K that was around the £6K mark.... ?
Personally, I'll be very interested in what you do, so maybe have your own thread in the other car section and post up what you get up to.
There are a few on .org who have mentioned an MG6 register where there are plenty of owners who've started personalising their own cars. Exhausts seem to be the way forward for most just now, but they'll be mapping them soon enough.

Cheers Dan, I found it lurking on A/T for a decent amount and then managed to knock bits off here and there and get the wheels refurbed and tax and so on so all in all I got nearly £800 knocked off the price.
Was up near you Dan, was in Harlow at motorsales so was really only round the corner from you mate
Yeah I may start up a thread on the other cars section as and when I do start playing so that there's a bit more about it all.
Won't be going too ott with it as although cheap, for me it was an expensive car to buy so have to spread the mods out over a bit of a period but I'm not too fussed at present as like I say I does feel great on the road.
Been on the 635 (mg6 forum) and yes there are some good mods being done so we shall see how it goes with mine

I know what you mean, prime example was someone saying they open the ecu up and the solder a wire in place between a couple of resistors or something and then it gives you the option to remap it somehow but obviously not a particularily reliable or safe way to do it.

But they do see over 215 with it like that lol
As if you honestly would have that done though. I'd rather wait another few years for someone to eventually do it properly.

Mines 1 of 3 in the localish area however all the others are the Magnette which I don't think looks as nice myself as the back end looks really jacked up.

Cheers chaps, yeah I think it's a nice looking car and when the mods do commence it has the potential to look very smart.
That's the only issue I have with trying the rotas, I know I'll want them when they go on as they are my favourite wheel out there. Think they will suit the 6 especially with the concave spokes
