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?

Weather is stopping progress plus trying to keep certain people happy! This weekend looks a washout so nothing doing there. Still won't start, the reprogrammed 5AS and fobs isn't working, still waiting on a reply from technozen. Might be better off removing the immobiliser circuit. The xpg one is okay, just keeping it ticking over every week or so.

Couple of saloons on gumtree - silver and red Mk2s both around £1200.

This hatch looks decent and would leave some money in the pot to bring up to standard but a good starting point if you excuse the sellers poor English.

Thanks for the heads up Dan, always in the look out mate 👍🏻

Yeah the write up is "interesting" but can get the gist of what's being said.
Don't often use gumtree as find the site is awful to navigate.
My car has just gone this afternoon so am now looking properly.

Dsirrom is keen and just a guess, but, I reckon would flex his price a bit. Have a try of the saloon, you'll have a car so not lose on insurance and if it doesn't work out sell it on.

Appreciate that and not meaning to seem like I'm being awkward with it but I am trying to find one that really grabs me like my old one did (that was totally standard when I bought it so wasn't anything special in that way) because I have been through 3 cars already and cannot afford to keep buying and selling and losing out money on them plus my insurance company were getting funny about changing so frequently so need to get one we really want.
Plus me keep changing is starting to wind the wife up so need to do the best I can to keep the peace there too lol

I will be thinking all options over but it's just frustrating that the cars that have really grabbed me are being awkward to get hold of the owners.

Hopefully if all goes according to plan and the car turns out to be as I am hoping it to then I may become the owner of an XPG mk2 hatch over the weekend.
Fingers crossed it is as clean and straight as I have been told.

[Dan1971]

Fingers crossed.

Indeed sir. There will be pictures if it all works out. It needs to work out!

Picking it up Tuesday after work.! At least I have sorted it all out.

Only have two pictures but cannot upload them at present as my photo bucket account is playing up yet again.
