'V' Reg 2000 Plate Solar Red MGF for Sale

No issues, at least you tried..

But, the Sale is still on.. So, all of you please try to get people interested.

Btw, I've got a question around the insurance, as I've currently got a temporary insurance for this MGF till the 24th April, on my current insurance, for my Alfa 159, as a temporary car.

But, till I sell the car, can I declare the car as SORN, so that I do not have to go for insurance, as I already have 2 cars the Alfa 159 & the MINI. Insurance for the MGF comes to around £60/month If I do not go for insurance for the MGF, I'll end up getting a warning from MID.

So, was wondering if I can declare the car as SORN?

as long as your not going to drive it you can SORN it however that only covers the road fund liscence (TAX)you'll need insurance on it unless you have it locked away safely somewhere.

just realised there is some new law about all cars being insured so best to just ignore me :woohoo: :

:bang: :bang: :bang:

You're right
The reason I went for temporary insurance was that I got a notice from MID, that I can be penalized, if I do not arrange for insurance.
But, the letter stated that either I declare the vehicle as SORN, or arrange insurance.

My only question is that, I've just recently taxed the car , so, if I declare SORN, will that tax disc become void.

Also, once a vehicle is declared SORN, what's the process for a new owner to get it back on road?

second bit fiirst the new owner would just have to tax it before taking it on the road.
all you have to do is cash in your tax then declare it SORN,

i've been told as long as its SORN and kept off the road on private land then its ok if that makes sense,

You either have to declare SORN or have it insured even if its off road and not taxed , not both. You can get a full refund on tax for full months only (ie May onwards) but you then leave it Insured or declare SORN.

The new owner is liable for Tax & insurance as soon as the DVLA receive the V5C that you have completed and returned to them, dont let the new owner do it, because if he fails to do so you are still liable. It is a good idea to take a photocopy of the completed V5C before posting, because they have been known to loose them before now :yesnod:

I have now listed the car in Autotrader (again), as I badly need the money.
But, I'm still keen to see the car go to an enthusiast.

I agree, Solar Red is the only colour for an MGF!! Fan and owner of one for two years. Yeh I have had the odd problem with it, and still currently of the road, but am working on it and the more work I do the more I love it. Mine is an X reg 2000, actually first registered on my birthday, fortunately not the same year.
Hopefully when the pension allows all the repairs will be done and it will be back on the road.
