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

Have you realised your potential, did you buy the Trophy ?

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 ?
