New car time….
A few may remember I added a rather nice Interchange Yellow MINI Cooper convertible to the fleet last year but I didn’t bond with it, it developed a fault and so the dealer just took the car back rather than repair it. This left a gap in the fleet going back to when I sold the R8 Tomcat so we rectified that yesterday. The latest car to the fleet is a rather nice Sunspot Yellow MG TF, 1 of only 90 produced and 1 of only 29 in 160 form. No decent pictures yet with the ‘proper’ camera as it needs a good clean after the four hour drive home in torrential rain!

Yes.
That's going to be a lot of fun in the summer months.

Fun to drive but certainly a challenge to keep it fit. Parts are cheap enough and plentiful. Club support is good.
I'll keep mine as long as I can get into it! Sent from my POT-LX1 using Tapatalk

There’s a few things I need to do to make it perfect, it has too much sideways movement in the gear lever, but I’m looking forward to the better weather. Which is the preferred club for the best support?

Stunning. There’s a couple of good MGF/TF Facebook groups.

I’m in a few as my TF knowledge has gone a bit rusty.... I’ve a few jobs to do but it’s been pouring down since it arrived so it’s not even been cleaned yet!

DMGRS has some parts.
Rimmers always do. MG Owners Club has advice and parts as well as lots of accessories to satisfy your mail order compulsion! MG-Rover Mobile Mechanics in Derby have proved to be very knowledgeable and helpful. Took it there on my transporter for its Mot which it passed. Motor Factors have parts on the shelf too. It's pretty normal really. Sent from my POT-LX1 using Tapatalk
