Didnt think it was worth that much (good thing!) mine is pretty much exactly the same and didnt realise it was worth that much tbh. I thought nearer the 600 mark  :smiley: Hope you get close to that mate, starting to look good for decent mk3's then!

An MGZR a little less hard on the wallet.....the money you spend replacing the head gasket could be money spent modding the Mark 3  :grin: :grin:

If you want one of them, make sure you hold out for a good one and dont rush buy. Majority of the 1.4s are owned by 17 year old boys who boot the sh!te out of them and tbh, the engine is pretty weak to start with, being an MG/kitted up Rover!
