Hello, another new member who's looking to buy

[Merl]

Thanks Martin, that's a really kind offer. I'm based in West Yorks so it's not too bad for me to go view it. I'm in email contact with the owner now.

Ahh cool cool well if you need any advice let us know

Wakefield as it happens

I can sense a mini northern meet coming on

Could be a plan. I'm going to be careful not to get too excited, it'll be the first one I've seen and I want to get a good one as it could be a keeper...

Hi Stephen, welcome along and good luck with your search, there seems to be 3 or 4 for sale quite often, and most cars seem to been known or known of. I bought mine form Ebay, was 150 miles away so had to take a chance as I wanted an Mk1 SE, sure I've had the odd problem, but she's pretty much sorted now. Mine is a keeper, so what I spend, I get the benefit of.

G'day Stephen

Welcome to the collective. I bought mine off Pistonheads almost sight unseen back in 2008. I wanted a BRG ZT-T, was told by the wags on here that I was looking for hens' teeth, found one available during the week I was in the UK (it was advertised as an "MG 4600", not V8 or 260, or any of the usual designations), bought it on a wet day (it looked shiny), and shipped it back to Oz a year later. Apart from the usual (orange clip, heater hose and tap, aircon compressor, UK salty rust damage underneath) it has been an excellent buy. I think most owners have treated the cars well, and there is not much you can't fix up anyway.

Good luck with the search.
