Thanks, it is a stunning car if I do say so myself

Don't really want to sell, but having now three cars and I walk to work it is not getting used hardly at all, approx. 700 miles this calendar year and most of that is to keep it moving!

I had some interest from the Pistonheads ad, but in my view, interested people need to come and see the car before offering to buy it... (Call me old fashioned!)

Did take the car for a short drive on Saturday and it gets plenty of attention, not many cars clean and polished on the road never mind a 75/MG like this

Best of luck with the sale Richard .

I've merged the consecutive posts into one and enlarged the pictures.

Bump

Car is still for sale, it has (or is) just going on SORN and will be garaged until spring now, but if there is any interest, please feel free to PM me.

Did take it for a drive before hibernation and it is a great drive, but working on my Audi (s) now for the time being (Boooo!)

How every car ad should be with the close up photos !!
Good luck with the sale.

Thank-you

Trouble is I have three cars and walk to work, the missus isn't keen on this, but she is getting used to it now...

Currently restoring my historic Audi S6 (Audi 100 type) which is a completely different animal (2.2 Turbo) but a lot of fun in a different way.

Provided I can keep bank rolling these cars I don't have much problem with having three.

The other (third) car is a Audi S4 (100 type 2.2 Turbo) which I bought for spares for the S6, but that will be going one day so I might end up with just two, which will help with the space and wife problems lol.

PS If anyone thinks a V8 is expensive to run, they haven't seen anything, the S6 is gobbling money at an incredible rate!
