Thanks for your response I'm more interested in a used one as unfortunately money is now very tight I know Im probably not going to get one at a give away price but it's always worth a asking the question.

That box is Toyosports and they normally have auctions on eBay as well. If you're lucky you can pickup some good deals. I managed to get a full stainless system including manifold for under £230 with a bit of tactical bidding on 2 of their auctions. Bit of a pig to fit but sounds luvvverly!

Yeah, you’re right, I got the whole kit from Toyosports directly over eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/toyosports/m.html) last year for 380 Euros (about 300 quid at that time, sniff!) delivered to Germany. Good stuff for the price.

Sadly finding a cheap decent condition S/S sports type rear box for the MGF is a bit like doing the lottery............................... but without buying weekly tickets. I was in the same position then spotted one on one of the FB pages and after a bit tooing and froing viw PM's secured a deal and got a MGOC Supersports box of less than a year old. Difficult to say exactly what i paid as I also bought the complete system off the car. Manifold, down pipe cat and box plus a pair of TF 135 cams adapted for distributer and paid £330 for the lot delivered. He wanted £110 for the cams and they needed to be delivered right across the ountry as her was in South Wales and I am located out on the East Coast of Lincolnshire.

Ebay is NOT the best place to find some deals it seems.
