Description
Due to purchasing an MG B, for sale is a very nice, good-running MG F with a story…
Let me start with the positives. This MG has received a lot of love over the past two years. A large part of the cooling system has been replaced (head gasket, expansion tank, stainless steel coolant pipes, radiator, and a flush of the cooling system). In addition, the timing belt, headlights, and rear brake pads/ discs have been replaced. The car has also had a proper service every year, even though it hasn't been driven much.
Cosmetically, quite a lot has also been done. A complete leather interior has been fitted (special Abingdon edition), and the 16-inch Abingdon Cup alloy wheels have been refurbished/ re-sprayed, with new tyres fitted.
The MG does have three downsides: a SRS warning light is illuminated, and the dashboard has also started to warp, which may be why the light is on? The passenger door could do with a respray, as it has a few dents. There is also a hardtop present, which needs a new headliner. Furthermore, the car naturally shows signs of use befitting a 29-year-old car. But now for the biggest drawback: the odometer currently reads 34 thousand kilometres, and this is not right!! We recently discovered that this car was imported from England. Old MOT records show that it had already covered 100, 000 miles by 2008, which is roughly 160, 000 km, meaning the MG has now likely covered around 200, 000 km. I have kept all the invoices from the past two years, totalling more than €7, 500, but unfortunately there is no service history available before that.
In short, a really nice, good-running MG F that can still go a long way, but it is certainly a car with a story. I have done my best to describe the car as honestly as possible, but I think the best thing is to come and see it and form your own opinion.
Cheers, Lars
