France barn find

Post by Humpty » Tue Jan 08, 2019 4:42 pm

Helping my mate fix the roof on his barn and noticed a car hidden under a tarp. Looks interesting I said. He seemed rather surprised and asked if I wanted to take it away. Of course, I snapped it up. Turns out to be a '96 MGF VVC with leather seats. Can't wait to get her home.

Hi and welcome to the forum

This just proves it is always worth helping your mate when he springs a leak.
