hmmmmm...
When I was lookin for a car, the MGs were all comin up between £1000 grand and £3000. Might just be a slump cos of the credit crunch.
Have you tried ebay?
Dont look for the classifieds, they always put the prices way way too high.

Common myth. Loads of independant garages provide plenty of parts if ever needed. Plus, with MG on the brink of return, parts will be available eventually from the manufacturer.
That may actually be why they are more expensive now, with mG returning

Have you considered old cars? And i mean properly old.
If your prepared to live with a bit less reliability you can have a brilliant, characterfull, quick, easy to drive and CHEAP old car. Pre-73 cars dont pay tax. Insurance is dead cheap too. You have to look around for the quick stuff mind but theres plenty out there. And they not unreliable. Its a myth and its because they not looked after. In 2 years of classic cars ive only had one breakdown which was a coil.
My ford pop payed no tax, it had a 2.1 pinto, 5 speed box, could do 60 in the 7 seconds region and happily top 130mph using little fuel aswell. All mods declared (EVERYTHING, from paint to transmission and brakes) 20 with 1yr ncb £900.
If your not prepared to go that old, how about 80's stuff? XR3's, XR2's, Renault 5 GT Turbo's, citroen AX GT's, Golf GTi's, Nova's etc etc.
I HATE cars. ![[Linked Image]](http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a400/BMXDAVE/s14a.jpg)

Im with Dave100. As much as it pains me to say it, as its the only car in the world I would give my Left Testicle for (not the right one  ) how about a... MkII Escort, in poor condition, so you can spend the money building it up?
