Is it really a 160bhp? I've asked the seller the question
Robin
Let us know if and when you get a response please Robin.
This being the key part, if and when! Any thoughts on my tax findings?
I had two replies
Yes mate
and
Actually there 157 bhp but classed as 160 by mg - his words
Looking at the Ultimate MG site, it says that the MGTF 160 had a tax band of E with emissions of 166 to 185, with the 135 in the higher tax bracket. This supports Richard's suggestion that this is probably not a 160.
Why am I making a meal of this? To my mind a 160 would command a higher price than a 135 and I would pitch my bid accordingly. That and the fact that I'm a pedantic git and don't like being conned! That said, it's probably not going to get the price it deserves.
If any body is interested in going to look at this with a view to buying it, you can tell from the vin whether it's a genuine 160 or not. 160's have a letter P at the 8th position whereas 135's have a K. VVCs have a T, apparently.

I'm with you there Robin.
I now reckon it will go for less than £800
Found a nice 51 plate genuine 160 with 61k miles and 18 hours to go @ £561.
It has the correct wheels, AP brakes, Leather and Alcantara seats, and the vendor has included lots of pictures and been more honest with the faults. Not and bent panel on it.
Have added it to my watch list

according to the sales of goods act as they are a dealer they will be liable for any faults within 12 months of sale, despite their disclaimers.
How did you conclude that they're a dealer Argen?
I only see items that they've bought on ebay. They don't seem to have sold anything?There's been no response to my question asking for the VIN.
