1997 MGF - low miles - bargain

SideValve · 20th December 2015, 21:36

Back in April my 75 got squashed by a lorry so I bought a MGF from a friend. I've been commuting in it ever since and its a great car, brisk, economical & reliable. The only drag is that I've got back problems and I seem to live in the speed hump central - not a good combination.
I've now bought another 75 for the sake of my health!

So - the MG is for sale.

1997 MGF 1.8i Nightfire Red. <49k lots of service history. I've just done oil & filters. New back tyres, front tyres ok. Previous owner replaced the rear screen. Bodywork good apart from laquer peel on the front bumper, one 50p sized ding behind rear door and a few parking scrapes. Everything works. Original radio-cassette! I average 39mpg so great for commuting.
MOT 21/04/16

Make great Christmas present

PM if you are interested.

Couple more pictures ...

Last bump - if it doesn't sell soon I'll retry in the summer

Deepest winter is probably the wrong time to sell a soft top. If you get no takers, Id try again in the spring (rather than summer) with some shots with the hood down etc to temp buyers into fun summer motoring. Good luck and another bump

Also I would put a couple of shots with the top down too.
