That MGF is really local. Might go and have a look this evening I think...
Bear in mind that it looks like it needs a Hydragas service and/or pump-up too. Camber and ride height looks all wrong. Still can't go wrong at £250 though.

Oh you can, that could easily cost 3 times that in parts to get a ticket on it and it is up at double the scrap value.

Don't forget those rot quite badly (sills/subframes), buyer beware with cheap ones of these.

While we're on the topic of cheap old convertibles...

Pug 205 CTi 1.6 for 900 quid

Photos are dreadful but it's got 12 months of MOT on it... how bad can it be?

Top car by the looks of it. I'd waft around in that.

WTF laugh

Low mileage yes, but it's obviously just been some manky part ex they've given a wash - who's going to be paying £1200 for a 16 year old Laguna?!

A couple of teasers now I've wiped a rag over it Jason wink







To keep it well and truly on topic, see my £100 Fiesta in the background (it now owes me £680, nearly there with the spend though)

That seems too good to be true, looks at least twice the price worth?
