MGF Freestyle

Post by itsonlyme54 » Mon Apr 02, 2018 6:57 pm

Some members here will know that I have an arrangement with my local breaker, any MG/Rover that enters the yard is mine subject to price negotiation, I have bought this car and many others hoping that they will be saved and the majority have.

This car has had cambelt failure, sometimes I am too late as a Certificate of Destruction is issued by staff that do not agree with me, I am awaiting confirmation of this, the car has just over 100k, its very clean with full black leather seats in good condition, its a VVC.

Should the CoD be enforced I will have to break this car, if not it will be for sale with a full MOT and obviously in good running order, fingers crossed for this one.

I cannot upload a picture of this 51 plate Freestyle as its too big and I do not know how to reduce its size, any help would be appreciated thanks.

Do you have Flickr or similar web hosting site you can put it on? I can use that to post a picture. Or I could PM you an email address and you could send me a photo and I'll upload here.

Who in the Good Lord’s name has the power to issue a CoD just because of a snapped cam belt? This isn’t safety related even slightly and an easy fix, too.

Common sense is hard to be found these days, I guess …

Could it still be exported? Would definitely be interested.

Let's hope it works, the car certainly looks well worth the effort.

If a CoD has been issued, then it should be a cube by now. A sxrapyard cannot issue a CoD, they just report scrapping it to the DVLA.

I'd hazard a guess that the last owner wrongly thought they had to have a CoD to confirm their car was scrapped, so sold it for lessmoney in exchange for it not being stripped or sold on. :rant:

Gone from DVLA website, very sad end to yet another F that didn't deserve it.

If you haven’t started breaking it, I’d still be interested to take it over here. Could you please pm me the VIN so I can check with the local authorities if I could get it registered to save it, Tony?

If it needs to be scrapped, I’d be very, very interested in the wheels!
