In their own words

Only had the car just over a month but I am pleasantly surprised by the performance I have the 135 and its a lot of fun, The ride is a little bit hard but I don't mind that, I bought the car for £650 and then had the cam belt water pump and tensioner changed which cost me £250. You have to except higher than average costs for servicing and repairs due to the engine being so difficult to get at, you also need to take care with the water level make sure its checked every time you use it, if it goes low you will overheat and blow the head gasket. The car I bought is in very nice condition with good tyres and alloy wheels, I don't think your going to get a better time to buy one of these they are very cheap for what you get in return. Just make sure when you buy the car it has comprehensive service history and its been looked after, its a buyers market for these at the moment but that won't last forever the prices are only going to go up. The MG was recommended to me by members of my car club, and I did a little research into them before buying.
