New Boy On The Block

[Max260]

Car now safely in my driveway. Very impressed. Have now had a real good look all over, as has my son. Bodywork is a bit better than my old MG, interior is very nice (a bit of wear on the drivers seta (has done 45K)). Drives so very well, so quiet... then! We'll - oh boy..... feel the G's. Fuel comsumption not too much worse than my modified diesel. Issurance is around £800 (only got 3 years no claims).

A lovely british ish muscle car. Everyone in the family loves it. Generally in a very good condition. Looks like the previous owner looked after it. Not much of a service history and the MOT says there is seepage from the diff (so guess the oil has not been changed). Oil service done by garage. Look to change diff and perhaps gearbox oils next month (nearing 46K now). Engine bay looks very good, no leaks etc - some bounch I think from the aux belt as there are marks on the block. Otherwise everyhting looks good. Very quiet when running.

Has standard exhausts (just the right sound for me) and comes with 225 40 x 18 tyres (All new) should this not be 45's? as my old mg has 45s.

Bonuses that I didn't know were in it are. HK Hifi upgrade and Directed Video HVM 700 installed in the headrests (though the remote is missing so wont work at present). But have sourced one I hope from supplier (Directed Electronics).

A very very happy person. Just need a bank loan to drive it now.....

Good man.

Lets have the details (including pictures) and I'll open up the other 80% of the site.

Yes 45's

Yes... tyres should be 225/45/18.

Dont worry too much about the belt marks on the block. They all seem to do that. Just keep an eye on the actual belt and monitor for damage.

Ive just had the propshaft end rear diff seal replaced (47k). Dreadnought have replaced a few and have a stock of seals, so possibly quite a common issue with the diff. Changing it is akward though, so take it to a specialist.... or just monitor it and top it up when required until you have traced the problem.

If its got to 46k then I would think if it has had any problems then they will have been found and sorted by now.


And yeah... Love mine. Love the weight, the ride, the feel, the noise etc etc etc

Welcome to the fold.
