Nothing to do with me, but this might be seriously interesting for someone over here...I would buy it myself if I would not already have 4 cars and do not want to import another one....

Super low mileage, that will be worth keeping.

I would want to know why the water pump and the cylinder head gasket were changed.

…and why it has Trophy Cars number plates. Although Trophy Cars used to claim that they replaced the head gaskets on all the Fs and TFs that they sell, so maybe it passed through their hands at some point.

Edit: The head gasket was replaced in April 2020 and the last V5C was issued in November 2020, so I guess Trophy Cars had it at that time.

I have just noticed it was sold for 10.8K£. That I had not expected, although it looked new on the images. Wonder what has been the original selling price.

Did you think it would be more or less?

I would say less, maybe £6700 -£7450 even then it's the red that loses it's colour over time don't know why seen it loads of times even on the MGZT

Trebor sold a beauty about 5-7yrs ago to one of our German owners.

Steve

I can do without any more high maintenance cars

I had a TF a few years ago and while I would like another one, unless you spend a lot on a well cared for, low mileage example, you can be buying a whole heap of trouble. Not to mention the road tax.

Besides, I already have a tax-free summer runaround, which I’ve had for the last 38 years.
