    Keep and eye on the for sale section on here - you could post a wanted ad, let sellers and prospective sellers know what you are looking for

    MK II? oh yes, that's the one that Jeremy C reckoned had a "radiator grille which looks like a Victorian hearth"

    A matter of taste, perhaps, but I know which one I prefer (just)...

    Does anyone have any history on either of these two? The red one is VIN#219, which must make it one of the first Mk2s, yet it's a 55 plate???

    Both look tidy examples!

    You'll find many weren't registered according to VIN numbers, MGR went down early '05 and many hadn't been registered at that point, my own is #317 but not registered until late '06, whereas some later VIN numbers were registered much earlier, you'll see that quite often.

    It does look good in the photos. And it seems a good price for a MG+1 owner car in SE spec, especially from a trade seller. I'm very tempted to take a look myself, although I really want a Mk2.

    If this is genuine, I doubt it will hang around long. You better if you want to have a look!

    The Reg is RX56HFS - it was advertised a couple of months back at £6,000. See this thread.
