Have asked what went on the engine as he said he may sell the whole car. Even if it needs an engine swap surely worth saving a Trophy?

It's actually only a 135, apparently number 4 piston has gone.
Rest of the car looks pretty clean though.

Re: How could you break this car!!
This car is maybe not what it seems, according to Experian it is list3d as an ordinary MGF, not a Trophy. The engine number is a 1.8 mpi. Plus the car was a Cat D total loss on 26/07/2005 perhaps the car was rebuilt using the cosmetic parts of a Trophy. Certainly looks as if it is a nice car in the pictures though.

Interesting, the guy mentioned it was a 135 which doesn't match either.
He did mention it was bought with the Trophy bits on it so the rebuild is a possibility.
