Whites kind of nice in a retro way.

What's the HP and is it RWD?

Looks in good condition for the age, but it has had a bit of 'restoration' over the years.

It certainly has a bit of character and should be easy to maintain

Agree with Steve though a deathtrap, you come out of your front door and fall over a midget

Of course it is RWD!!

71 bhp and it only weighs 740kg

I had to get a white one because I keep going on about white being a good colour

As for it being a death trap, well lets put it this way I'd rather be in an E90 than my Midget if I was to be involved in an accident!! Lets not think about that though!

It's been very well maintained over the years, literally two folders and a box full of receipts etc.

The first owner had it 17 years, thats why I have named the car Olga after the first owner lol, I have every MOT and tax disc and even copies of the first owners insurance and driving licence!

Yep easy to maintain will do most work myself

Glad you found one with a good history rather than a badly patched one just to make a buck

Not yet, not unless you count my sticky throttle cable which I'm changing for a new one when the part arrives from the hive

Also got a little and I mean a ikkle bit of surface rust to sort, a little dent, stick all my carpets down and four stone chips in a very odd place to sort!!

Then give it a good wash and wax, weekend of tasks completed!!

That's OK. While she's down there in front she can wind up the rubber band before driving off.

Is that a swan or a goose in the window?

Why do your net curtnains not go down all the way?

It looks very nice porscha, the black bumper makes it look like it has got a moustache at the front. How is your beard by the way? and have you started drinking real ale yet?

Doesn't sound too bad but what about the car?

It looks like a lot of fun Porscha, hope you have fun in it.

I don't think she actually went through with the purchase of the green MG and, instead, got the white one.

lol yes SoYank is right I didn't go through with the Green one and went for the white one!

Quite a few have a spare one though to use for parts, for instance you might buy one with a bad engine but a good body and have one with a bad body but a good engine, they then use the one with the bad body for spare parts! Known as a "donor car".

I only have the one though!

What held you back from the green one, the missing bolt?

OK thanks for the update, what happened to the MX5? I feel I've missed an episode or 2.
