I would dearly love to keep my F but I can only put one at a time in my garage and that's important, so it is with trepidation I offer it for sale here as I would prefer it to go to an enthusiast who appreciates the work that has been done to this car.
I purchased it in December 2004 and have not stopped improving it since then. Many thousands of pounds and hundreds of hours have been spent on it since then. It is a multi award winner at shows in the UK and Europe, it starred at MGF10 and has featured twice in MG Enthusiast magazine. It is always garaged, there are no marks at all on the very special hood, which is just 13 months old.
The paint work is absolutely excellent, nearly £1000 has been spent on it this year to profesionally remove stone chips and any signs of paint depreciation, there is no rust. The wheels have been refurbished to mint sparkle silver and the tyres are all new this year.
"Good" MGF's are still going for nearly £5000 on the various web-sites and dealers are asking similar, therefore I could not let this go for stupid money, it's too much a part of me.
It will be serviced the week before sale, it is always looked after by British Legends and a full 12 month MoT will be given for peace of mind although it's not due yet. It currently runs with a de-cat pipe but a new cat could be included if it's required. It has a full service history with many bills included, as well as the full service every year it has an interim service and oil change every six months. The head gasket has been replaced and s/steel dowels were fitted. There is a full set of colour coordinated mud flaps (supplied off the car). Being a MK2 (MY2000) it has the updated dash with adjustable steering column, electrically operable and heated door mirrors, colour keyed windscreen surround and two cup holders under the leather centre box lid. There are no interior water leaks and the windows close very well to the stops (the drivers side is new in 2008).
The registration is not included (it is valued by a PNDA agent at around £800) but it could be subject to an agreed price.
The take away price I'm asking for is now £4250 (from £4750), all I will take off is the Parrot hands free kit kit.

Drop me a line or call 07824 665728 if you are interested or you have any questions.
Shocked is the least you can say, why selling such a nice car, knowing that you are not going to leave the scene, what are you buying in place. The new car can't be as perfect as this one...
