1998 (R) MGF 1.8 - British Racing Green - £700 ONO (reluctant sale!)
Hi all,
I posted about this car a while back (a month ago now?). Basically the car is currently on a disabled tax band (mum has Parkinsons) and mum is no longer able to drive the car as her condition has deteriorated. I'm looking for a quick sale just to get the car off the drive as it's a shame for her to be sat here not getting the love and attention she deserves! I believe that to get the car taxed, you will need to go to a local DVLA office due to it currently being on 'free' tax due to mum's condition.
We bought her on 21st March 2007, since then she's covered very few miles as it's only been a 'weekend car', if that makes sense. The last 3 years she has covered very few miles miles due to a combination of mum's illness and realisation that she isn't able to drive due to her condition.
She is located at our home address in Spalding, Lincolnshire
30/08/07 MOT @ 82550 miles
30/08/07 Head Gasket repairs £922.93 :
Head skim, new gasket set with new bolts, timing belt, pulley kit, fan belt, spark plugs, air filter, oil filter, N/S/R brake caliper and brake fluid.
NOTE - mechanic put 28555 miles on this invoice also dated 30/08/07, should have been 82555!
As well as the above work, we also had a new radiator and pipework at the same time, but he hasn't put this on the invoice!? :O
15/09/08 MOT @ 84742 miles
15/09/08 Invoice for £399.59 :
MOT, 2 rear brake discs, rear brake pads, suspension ball joint, 2 new tyres with balance, valve and disposal, and a number plate bulb!
18/08/10 MOT @ 86326 miles
19/08/11 MOT @ 86370 miles
08/03/13 MOT @ 86451 miles
08/03/13 Invoice for £457.39 :
MOT, Complete wishbone arm, head lamp unit, suspension pump up, head lamp bulb, O/S/F door window motor (which we provided).
12/03/14 Invoice for £667.12 :
MOT, Orange bulbs, wiper blades, N/S/F track rod ends, N/S/F bottom suspension arm, 2 new link arms, 2 rear brake discs, 2 rear brake pads, new oil filter, new lambda sensor, a tin of 'cataclean' and a welding mat and sundries!
13/03/14 MOT @ 86464 miles
Current mileage is 86469. Literally back home from the garage in March following the MOT.
Issues you need to be aware of :
Sometimes she goes into reverse first time, sometimes not! I believe this is a common issue with MGFs.
We fully appreciate that the car, in her current condition (mechanically good but needs plenty of love and attention to get her looking stunning!) isn't going to fetch silly money. If we could recover the cost of the last work we had done, the invoice for £667.12, that would be awesome, although we admit it's optimistic.
So the price is £700 or nearest offer. For a car that with a bit of polish and elbow grease will put a genuine smile on your face.
P.S. She's called Matilda :D
