Comments appreciated on ebay item

Hello all,

I'm currently watching an MGF on the bay and would appreciate any comments on whether you think it's a good deal or not.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1999-MG-MGF-RE...d=p3286.c0.m14

I know this car is not really part of this forum but I thought I'd ask people what they thought of it seeing as though so many members seem to have one as well as their 75/ZT!

Regards

Rich

Looks like a well cared or motor. Does look like a lot of customer parts on it so it may mean the insurers will need to know, unless they're not custom at all.

Looks good. I think all the extra's are genuine MG parts anyway. Just optional extra's

Im not keen on the black spoiler and wheels though. and from the pics the front splitter looks matt red rather than glossy?

I was thinking the whole nose cone looked a different colour but it might be the light.Not a bad price,it wouldn't be my chioce (don't like the Black wheels,spoiler or Silver side bits) but if you like it go for it :lol:

Think the dullness might be just the shadows (a dumdum dumdum dumdum dumdum) looks ok but not my taste like the 960 in the background though

The 960 looks great............... sorry

It looks a bit tired. I would definately get it tested (compression test at least). It´s over 10 years old, owned by someone who says they are getting a Porsche. Maybe it has been driven as though it was one

i like the colour,the rear spoiler would look better colour coded.the wheels need to be restored to the original colour.xenon lights..probablly xenon bulbs.upgraded head gasket check with the seller.
a lot of fun these cars i had the vvc for a long weekend...great
