Couldn't agree more. My MGF has been an enjoyable everyday, all year round, cheap to run, fun car. I'd recommend one to anyone.

The attraction to the marque is cheap enjoyable sports car motoring. Why we bought ours.

At Oulton Park Circuit recently I was talking to a great old chap from Brighton. He was racing an F and said it was fantastic affordable fun, with engines for just a few hundred pounds compared to £25,000 - 30,000 for race ready V8 engines.

Going back to the asking price of this car. There was another a while back with only delivery mileage, historically significant, full 3 year warranty that struggled to make the upper asking price this one is after. The reason this one is not worth that much to me is that it is not special. It's not one of the first of the production line, it's not a special edition, it's not the Trophy or a 160.

Ours gets used 7 days a week, as a daily drive and at the weekend. Many cars on here and elsewhere lead a charmed dry weekend only spring/summer life. You pays yer money etc....

If I bought it I'd drive it. Others wouldn't.

The F and TF will never be hailed as icons of quality: rightly so, as many aspects of their design are either parts-bin engineering or just absolute plain crap. Or both. Sorry, but they are. Mini Metro anyone?

A 56 reg 19k ragtop for under 3k. Where else? What else?

The Allegro has its supporters, remember. And they were Epic Crap. But somebody loves them.

Completely agree with all this John.

There's a really tatty looking MX5 on a 52 plate for sale locally to me for £3500 and my son paid £2000 for an admittedly very nice X reg MR2 last year.

F/TF are far better value IMHO

For 2K more you could buy this! only has 2,650 mls on the clock. It's a Spark but only the 1.6 115hp

If you look at the images of the underside it's still shiny "wot no rust on a TF; I don't believe it"
