Hello all,
I was thinking of buying an MGF or TF (my budget's about £1000, so I'm at the low end).
Mainly for sunny sundays and the occasional track day. I have a "daily car". I don't mind a little spannering, but I don't have a drive, so it would be the kind of thing I can do in an hour or so on the road - don't really want to be replacing head gaskets, etc.

I've seen a couple that are interesting near me - I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what to look for specifically? Or what sort of wear and tear is acceptable and not to worry about?

MGF:

And another (I quite like this interior!):

And also this MGTF. I'll probably sell the hardop, so :

Thanks in advance!

Just bought another 1.6 TF today.

Check for rust, water in the oil, and how it drives on the road regards suspension issues.

Generally a bullet proof little car that handles superbly. Great fun for little money.
