Excellent video and a great day thank you

[@ShaunMurray63]

Cheers Peter , yes is was a good day and I've already had a brew or two in the new cup.

[@skodakatie7341]

The new MG looks great, it’s reassuring that the old one is being saved and restored, looking forward to more videos on this new one!!.

[@ShaunMurray63]

Yes the MG has gone to the correct person for sure, I will do a follow up on the MGF at a later date.

[@mystichare8924]

Morning Shaun. I’m thinking of getting an MGF myself so I’ll watch this with interest.

[@ShaunMurray63]

Hello , I'll do a video on the MGF and hopefully it may help you in part to decide if you want one.

[@mystichare8924]

Nice one Shaun.

[@darrenmeears4667]

Glad the old MG is being saved you must be chuffed some one is going to restore it and not break it for parts .The new MG looks rather nice looking forward to seeing more of it 👀👍👌

[@ShaunMurray63]

Hello Darren , I'm glad it has gone to Peter who will work his magic on it when its turn comes in the queue. I'm looking forward to videos on it in the future but it will be some time of yet . His welding skills and the fabrication on the panels he produces for his restorations are second to non. Glad you like the MGF and there will be a video to follow when I get some free time.

Lovely Jubbly, you've been away to long. Always enjoy your videos, good luck with the new car.

[@ShaunMurray63]

Hello Paul , it's good to know that you appreciate the videos and we will see how it goes with the MGF.

[@MGBetts1]

I knew the MGB would soon get snatched up - not a roadster or a V8, but people will still buy them, especially if they're complete and very restorable. I never knew much about the MGF, but it will be interesting to find out more! 👍🏻

[@ShaunMurray63]

Hi, yes I had a feeling it wouldn't hang around for long , but it went quicker than I expected , The MGF is a car I haven't had before so it will be interesting to see how it all goes.

[@jaggass]

From it's area code it was registered somewhere in Staffordshire 77/78.

[@ShaunMurray63]

You know , the funny thing is it's last recorded owner came from Royton near Oldham and it's now gone to it's new owner in Ashton Under Lyne very close to Royton. Funny how things work out.

Hi Shaun, great video,the blue MG has now gone,I will check out Peter's KZbin channel out,the car carrier don't look good, hope he can repair it,I do like the new car I will keep my eyes open for this on the channel.

[@ShaunMurray63]

Hello Steven , yes if you are interested in welding and fabrication Peters channel could be right up your street.The car carrier could be repaired but it would be hard to see were else it may have twisted so really it is a write of . Glad you like the new car I will do a video of the MGF at some point later on .

[@todtiger]

nice car shaun

[@ShaunMurray63]

Not bad is it Tony.

[@projectronnie]

If you need any bits for it check out mg and alfa spares in chadderton,Manchester they have everything also do repairs and head gaskets

[@ShaunMurray63]

Hello Jake thanks for the tip I will store it in the back of my mind , Chadderton is only about 20 mins away from me so it could come in handy.

[@alan4391]

Has the head gasket been done as these go on them ?

[@ShaunMurray63]

It hasn't been done recently but we have the knowledge and the were with all to sort it if it does blow.

[@jaggass]

MGF's are a poor man's Elise. As you know the 1.8 K-Series likes to blow head gaskets. Hopefully this one has the revised one that allows better cooling and has stronger headbolts. That solved the issue.

[@ShaunMurray63]

Hello Micheal , it is a really sprightly car to drive and I didn't know they had a revised head for them , if it does blow the head gasket we can sort it out and will go with the better head.Thanks for letting me know.
