    Sweet looking motor! Definitely worth more than your asking. Its really my kind of style. I love the front spoiler, the spots and the wing mirrors. The stripes sort of do it for me as well I have to say. Its just a shame its the wrong time of year to be selling a car like this.

    Looks nice, I afraid outside my budget. Looking for a similar car, but just test drove one, it only had the normal around your waist seat belts is ths the norm? In the general scheme of things are they expensive day to day, as looking for my fist classic, and don't know much about maintenance.
    Cheers

    They originally came with waist belts (although most came with no belts at all) it is a relatively easy job to install 3 point inertia seat belts. Quite cheap to run although mileage aint great. Id guess around 18-20mpg. Parts etc are very easy and cheap to obtain. I suppose its a great started classic and everything is simple to fix and get parts for. Just look out for the auld tin worm on the sill and integral chassis.

    +1 on that.

    Mg's are such an enjoyable classic to have as parts and accessories and so easy to get. Yours is one of finest examples and i think it's mad it hasn't sold. f i could get the banks to give me money i'd have it:D
