That's what I thought too; however, sooner or later it'll be your daily.

Your car arriving at Eden Camp at one minute exactly into the video and again at 4minutes 50. I remember seeing it there and wasn't at all jealous....no that other thing...green with envy!

There's absolutely no doubt that it looks at least ten times better than it did in silver. Lovely.

Tbh Gary, it's highly likely I wouldn't have bought it or even given it a second look if it was in silver.

So here we are, almost 2 weeks into ownership and I've been asked twice if I'd like to sell it, I've also been asked to bring the car to numerous shows here in the south, oh to be popular...............the car, not me.

I rediscovered the joy of using my V8 as a daily this month (having fixed the various issues that arose instantly when I boasted how reliable she was). I have to report that MG53 ANG is very silver, but she matches my hair, and I seem to get through tyres and fuel very efficiently without the supercharger. Still a teensy bit jealous though. Enjoy
