Well it all started with my sons 17th birthday looming.. yes you guessed it already, I was out and about looking for a cheap car to buy for him you know the sort of 4/5 hundred quid mark.. whilst scouring ebay and local ads i came across the MGF (obviously I knew this would not be a first car lol ) £450 start price only just listed , I called the guy asked for a test drive and met him that afternoon so i get there and he explained he had lost his job 12 mths ago and couldnt afford to run it and his motorbike and he prefered bikes than cars so it had to go and help pay bills, short and long of it was i offered him £450 cash there and then and he took it,
The bad points no MOT or tax had not been driven for almost a year and stored in a stable ... suspension sagged drivers carpet in a bit of a sad state wing mirrors peppered with stone chips same as bumper, and a thumb sized rust spot by the side of the air scoop,
everything else looked and sounded good 83k on the clock. had to pump up the suspension first it failed MOT on......... get ready... no water in washer bottle and horn not working. (the guy had pulled the fuse so as not to risk disturbing the horses at the stable preventing the alarm from going off)
I just chucked it in without doing a thing to find out worse scenario.. what a bonus.
next i will list whats been going on work wise.
this is it when i bought it
