Hi newbie from Plymouth Devon 9 years 5 months ago #152353

Hi people my names Thomas and I live in Plymouth Devon.

I am looking for an MG TF 160 and am currently saving up.
I have had many many british cars and currently own a Rover 75.
I am putting my 75 on classic insurance in february and will be using the TF as a daily driver.

I have actually had an MG TF 160 before and suffered head gasket failure.
I didnt have the money at the time to send it to be repaired so I started sourcing parts.
My brothers girlfriend then needed it off her drive so I had to sell it.

I have decided to get another TF as I have a 75 which is a normal car and am insured to drive to work in my dads Honda Civic.
I thought I might aswell go for something totally different.
My TF wasnt the best condition as it had started to go rusty around the ends of the sills.
Also it had an advisory for the subframe.
I should have £2500-£3000 saved up by february but will most likely have that before christmas.

Im wanting a hardtop but im not sure that id really use it.

Here are a few pictures of my old TF













We had some storms and I didnt clip the roof down properly and it was soaked through.
My dad told me to bring it to his work as they had a dehumidifier.
It stayed there for a few days.
I took these pictures just before putting it in the hovercraft hanger













Thanks for reading

Hiya Thomas and welcome aboard, great read and pics, TF160's are currently selling on ebay anywhere between £1000 and £2000 so you should have more then enough money to find a really good example. Real shame about your last MG but as a previous owner at least you'll know what to look for this time around. Good luck in your search and i'll look forward to seeing your new MG when you find one, good luck
