Potential new Trophy owner
Hi all, new to MGFs but had MGs for a number of years before going to the dark side, Triumph Stag and then a Cooper S convertible. I know that the ride will be harsh, but can’t be as bad as the cooper s on run flats.
I am looking at a local car in Horsham, West Sussex, anyone know J222MGF, old registration was OY51FPK?
Apart from the usual rusty subframes, HGF, general rust, anything else to watch for?
Thanks

Re: Potential new Trophy owner
Have you realised your potential, did you buy the Trophy ?

Yes bought it. Had some fun with it over the summer. Hard top now on and garaged.
Need to get it lanoguarded next
It’s got an fcc kit from Mike Satur
No abs
Glass rear window
Mike Satur exhaust as well

Re: Potential new Trophy owner
Superb. An MGF 160 Trophy is probably the most collectible of the Fs & TFs due to their relative rarity. What colour is yours ?
The glass rear window is a useful upgrade. I did the same to my TF recently. Have you got the heated rear window working ?
