1999 MGF 1.8i low mileage SOLD

This is one of the last series one MGFs, in metallic British Racing Green, with the lovely original-type cream instruments and neat dashboard. It's very original, with matching paint on every panel, no aftermarket modifications, and zero rust on the bodywork.

There are few very light car park 'dinks' and some light stone chips, but basically the body and underside are very good indeed and the car is extremely clean throughout. The interior is really good too.

During my ownership I have had fitted a new battery, given it a full service with full synthetic oil, new gearbox oil (synthetic MTF94), new coolant, filters – plus new wiper blades, tyres and track rod ends with suspension height setting and a laser four-wheel alignment.

The previous owner had the cam belt done 4, 000 miles ago and fitted stainless underfloor cooling pipes – a sensible choice. He also reproofed the hood – which is excellent – and fitted a glass rear window, with heated element, which is a great upgrade. Also fitted were new headlights, and I've upgraded to Osram Xenon bulbs so the lights are superb.

It's a low mileage example that drives extremely sweetly indeed. The car runs straight, brakes straight, rides in a supple way and doesn't tramline. It handles superbly, like any good properly set-up MGF. I once had a 5, 000 mile example, and the drive is pretty close to that!

The cooling system works perfectly with absolutely no sign of any head gasket issues. The engine is quiet and strong. The gearbox is tight and the steering smooth. The car doesn't burn or leak oil, smoke or do anything else that it shouldn't; idle is very smooth and the clutch is fine.

I'm selling because I am slimming down my car collection. I'm not desperate to sell the car and won't take silly offers. This is a great all round useable car that shouldn't require anything – just needs to be driven and enjoyed. The car will be sold with a full 12 month MOT.

Please call me on the details below for more details, or message me. Please remember you are bidding to buy, not to haggle; please come for a test-drive if you're serious; the car is located in Wiltshire, just south of Swindon.
