Description

Looking for a convertible? This 1998 Rover MGF with a 1.8-litre petrol engine might be for you. It's an imported model that's looking for a new owner who doesn't mind putting in some work.

The car has a manual gearbox, which gives you good control of this British sports car. With the engine sitting behind the seats, the MGF offers a unique driving experience compared to front-engine sports cars.

It needs some work, but comes fitted with an alarm system for security. The two-seater layout makes it better as a fun car than a daily driver.

Features:

  • 1.8-litre petrol engine
  • Manual transmission
  • Mid-engine layout. Sadly the engine has water in oil. Is striped down at moment. Head gasket seems ok. Could be something else. Make an offer.
  • Convertible roof
  • Security alarm
  • Two-seater design

If you're looking for a project car with character and are willing to sort out some issues, this could be a good project. I'm happy to answer any questions about what work it needs.
