52mm Throttle body
Full race livery with our chosen charity Parathyroid UK (We would like for someone to keep these on though that is completely your choice)
12v socket and a 12 USB charging power built in.
Modern Stereo

Other extras include a lovely full cream leather interior with matching dashboard steering wheel and door cards.
The car also benefits from a hardtop roof(needs the roof lining done but I have fabric here I am happy to try sort myself)

There are a few niggles. One having just happened where the seat belt won't feed back through right, I have found the issue to be a plastic piece missing from the seatbekt housing, I can have this looked into before sale, it is iut enough to be driven and used(it also threw the SRS light on, shock horror I've had 7 Mg/Rovers they all end up with the SRS light on at some point!)

Does have a small misfire that isn't really noticeable until you're at a higher speed and try hold the revs, we have just completed Glasgow to Glenshee and back and the car ran faultlessly, no lose of coolant etc.

Speedo cables has snapped which in effect knocks out the power steering, I can have this fixed for the asking price. It is 25 for the cable and the work I can do or have done for you.

The car has tones of character and if we won't get what we're looking for from it it can stay in the family.

I am considering the work and money being spent on this but also the mileage(I dare say this engine will do another 100k with the maintenance it has had)

Private plate included with car.
