I've bought an MG!

sworks · 16th March 2013, 16:45

I've used my trusty Cooper S as a daily driver for almost 18 years and its no longer fair on the car to be used daily. The hope is to drop the mileage to about 1,000 miles a year just or the odd drive out and shows. Been looking for the right car for a while and was hoping for another Rover coupe but good ones are hard to find, finally sorted this and it should hopefully be my daily driver from the middle of next week

Oh, a matching pair Mark

Nice

Is it an F or a Tf?
I can tell them apart from the front but not so good on the rear

It's a TF Jeff, the side vents are more angular. MG fans will spot the black vents, handles and wheels meaning its the 1.6 variant which is what I was after. The car is an 03 plate with 31,000 miles on the clock.

Looks good Mark,was it a work trade in?

Have you shelved the idea for good of another coupe?

sworks · 16th March 2013, 20:44

Private sale. Always a possibility of another coupe
