20 - not out!
My MGF (N7 RMB) is now 20 years old, and it happily cruised through its MoT yesterday (they replaced a brake light - I suspect that the bulb connector was slightly oxidised rather than an actual failure).
Really really happy!

Re: 20 - not out!
Good stuff! Here's to the next 20 years!
Hopefully they'll be highly collectable and worth an absolute fortune by then....that'd be nice ay?

Bilstein Shocks, Z&F Remap, B&G Coolant Alarm, Glass Rear Screen, Braided Hoses, Bling-free at the moment...but that'll probably change

Re: 20 - not out!
Just goes to show that these cars are a lot more reliable than made out, if looked after.
I'm on 120k & counting!

Re: 20 - not out!
and we are sure the regulations won't be changed in 20 years time.
I woudn't be surprised if 'oldtimers' would pay double in 2036.

You're the sort of people who make buying a new car worth it, and the longer you keep it the more so.Green Squirrel wrote:.....How many are still with their first owner? I know Rob's is as is mine and of course Scarlet Fever

Re: 20 - not out!
I could imagine that some previous long time owners even add value to the car as they became so known in the scene.
