gauging interest...

[zilla]

hey all

it is with DEEP sadness that I have to sell the MGTF I have. Divorce forces sale and I am GUTTED. I love the car to bits.

anyway, I'd like to know what sort of money I should ask for and what sort of interest there would be in her. I'd much rather sell her to an "enthusiast" than just sell her to the slave trade (ebay/autotrader).

MG TF160 '52 plate
Lemans Green
colour coded hardtop
MoT and Tax 'til Jan 08.
Full dealer warranty until end of Jan 08
57K on the clock
Cam belt change and full service in Jan 07 @ 51K
New rear calipers and pads in Aug 07
Front disks, pads and rear disks new Jan 07
Front tyres new Jan 07
MGcenter Chrome Hoops and Windstop. (fitted by MGFc)
Tonneau cover
Bluetooth Pioneer stereo + uprated JBL front speakers
Rear uprated 3way Clarion speakers
Mike Satur storm cover
11 spoke alloy spare and new tyre
Chrome softtop clips
Dynamatted doors (+new seals)
Lexus style smoked rear lights. (including original TF clusters for spares)
New badges front and rear.

what do you think? I'm open to offers, but autotrader seems to be all 135's and the only 160s lack the extras I have but are a lot less miles (like 20K or something) so it's difficult to know where to pitch her.

any help appreciated.

Value - sorry, no idea, but horrified that you have to part company with that beautiful TF.

Sell it to a mate for a tenner then buy it back for £11 once the divorce settled? Probably counts as fraud, but very tempting!

Hopefully you will be able to get another TF in the not too distant future.

Best wishes

not really sure Ian, but gutted to hear this news - is there no other way?

keep your chin up mate!

sadly I need to get something cheaper to run and more practical. its a long way to fall to be honest I've loved that car to bits.

you buy an experience, not a car. I've met so many cool people and had so much fun

Gutted, really feel sorry to hear all this and that you are selling her Zilla. Wish you best of luck mate.

Been there done that, it took me a while but I now have two MG's plus a wife. As you said you meet some great people with an MG.

regardless of what you drive, I'm sure Dave (SWMGF) would agree with me, when I say that you would still be more than welcome at any of our outings /do's!!

i would own another MGTF in a heartbeat. Lovely car to drive. Most definitely a drivers car.

if you know anyone in the market for a TF, point them in my direction.
