Just acquired 'Big Mo' from Rick Sta. Comprehensively documented on the forum she's in lovely condition (and plenty of cool lighting too)
I always fancied an MG 190SE tourer and was tempted despite a mileage of almost 140k. Testimony to Rick's brand of TLC
Very happy with the package and only planning maybe 3-4k per annum. Nevertheless, since it's mighty close to the upper limit apparently for a V6, I'd welcome suggestions on preventive maintenance and what to watch out for going forwards to make sure she's around for a long time.
It's more fun than buying a new equivalent saloon car and dropping 5k as soon as you leave the showroom and 15k in the first two years. £15k depreciation would buy my entire current fleet of four oldies but goodies.
Seems I may need to add a nice diesel 75 Connoisseur to complete the collection.
