Well.
After moving house and now facing a commute of 60+ miles a day, it's time to let the 190 go.

The MOT is due on 16 October however the inlet manifold is rattling a lot, the thermostat has a slight leak, there's a small patch of rust on the bottom of one of the front wings and the coolant needs topping up after a few hundred miles. The car itself has done 193000 miles however it runs on LPG, has heated electric memory seats(part leather, bordering excellent condition, no rips or holes), projector lights, adams and webb backbox black oak dash, cruise and driver intelligence pack. In the last 12 months it's had new front springs, tyres, rear discs and pads, service including plugs. I have done what I can to keep on top of the car where possible and I will be sad to see it go however I have just lost interest in doing all these jobs myself due to my long commutes, new house and family commitments.

I know it's not going to be worth much with such a short MOT however the car is now currently SORN. What could it possibly be worth to someone on here?

I'm currently waiting for the logbook to come back from DVLA as I'm keeping my personal plate. I'll give it a quick wash and get pictures up soon.

Oh, for those interested, the replacement is this: a 2007 Mondeo Titanium X diesel with all the toys bar sat nav. Obviously it's no MG but with sports suspension, plenty of torque, loads of space and good fuel economy it's a compromise between sports and sensibility.

Rik.
