>I was able to contact the original garage (main dealer MG in Havant) that looked after the car for the original owner (father in law of guy I bought it from) and they provided me with a comprehensive service and maintenance print out that not only verified the mileage up to my ownership but also confirmed it had been lavishly looked after - including having the belts done in December 2010 at 23k miles.
Drives really well and Vis motors work fine (noticeable kick at appropriate RPM)
Air conditioning blows nice and cool when needed (not this last week!)
All electrics work including spot lights / central locking / front electric windows / interior lights and clock etc
Does not have parking sensors fitted
Stainless exhaust sound meaty - but not tinny or too loud and does not drone on long motorway journeys
Interior is good for a car of this age - only thing I can see that is noticeable is a very small fraying of the front passenger seat fabric where it joins the bottom of the left side leather bolster at the edge of the seat.
Bodywork is OK with no rust - however for the sake of being totally open, following dings and marks noted:
> Left hand side (mostly rear door but some front door) has a number of car park dings (scuffs) - these go away when the car is given a good polish but a clearly visible once the polish has faded or washed away over time / rain
> roof has a small (size of a 50p) circular mark in the lacquer
>boot lid has a scratch (2 to 3 cm length?) on the left side - polishing does reduce but it is reasonably deep
>normal level of small dots in the paint on the front of the car consistent with small stone chips expected of a car this age
>not visible unless getting low down - front left bumper (very bottom of valance under spot light) has a scuff consistent with scaring on a steep ramp / driveway
> All four alloys have kerbing
> Some light scratches to drivers rear wheel arch area (in photos)
Looking for best offer over £1225 - aiming to get a new car in next couple of weeks so want to get anything more that the PX offer I have been given.
