Trophy blue isn't my thing but if you've got around £4K to spend then this looks like a great Trophy!

Re: Got my eye on an F & a TF

How many miles are expecting to do?

If it's less than 5k then insurance is the least of your worries as it should only be a lot, you just need to get yourself a decent car first!

Re: Got my eye on an F & a TF

I think the F looks pretty good and has had some essential work done which you'd probably have to do on another one. It really depends on the price I suppose and whether you can go and see it before the end of the auction on Sunday evening. Personally I probably wouldn't buy it due to the lack of se...

Re: Beautiful MGF in Market Drayton Shropshire

Ah I see I didn't look back that far. But seems strange that there was an advisory on the front sub frame in 2010 but then no mention since, either they had some work done to sort it or the mot test or was being over zealous...either way probably not an issue, but go and check it...

Also if you put it in the general section then you may be able to get an experienced member to come and look at it with you as people are often very helpful and willing on here!

Re: Beautiful MGF in Market Drayton Shropshire

In 2013 it failed an mot on both Front and Rear Suspension has inadequate clearance with the bump stop. So it was very low and was probably pumped up with fluid, as I said this can make the ride hard and uncomfortable. If you want to fix it properly by re-gassing the hydragas spheres with nitrogen l...

Re: Beautiful MGF in Market Drayton Shropshire

I also saw this car and thought it looks good, lovely colour combination (taheti blue) and low mileage. However having spoken to the owner the service history book has been lost so you don't know how well it's been looked after, he said he's only selling to buy a Trophy. On the plus side it's recent...

Pressure test hydragas sphere

I want to pressure test some spheres that aren't fitted to a car. Could I use the following line and connect a sphere to each end as the connectors look the same to me?
