After many years of coveting a Mogg and having both a green traveller and 2 dr as a younger chap I finally took the plunge and picked up another last week after much research and lurking on here and elsewhere.
She drives, um ok, and stops as she should. Obvious remedial action needed on the bodywork and engine/gearbox - maybe? - I'm no mechanic, but my mate is and has agreed to pitch in and teach me as much as my tea strainer brain can handle.
Anyway, enough waffle, she cost me £740 from Ebay and as she is MOT'd until July 20th I think that price not bad at all....but we'll see once we finally fix the exhaust blowing - cast clamp fitted at weekend has improved it a little - just how much of a bargain she actually is. On that subject, the original engine steady bar is still in situ but has badly worn bushes. Am I better replacing those or should I just fit a Grumpy's?
I joined the MMOC last Tuesday and then arranged insurance thru Footman James. Still waiting for my membership number, hope it arrives within the 14 days FJ allow. I've also contacted the Surrey/Hants border OG via the email I found on here.
Here she is, ta for reading, cheers, Mike[frame]
There's a thread nearby with details of best ways to clamp up the exhaust and perhaps add an extra support - although in all my years I've never had the need - but it can do no harm.
The club office has a new database system and this has caused a delay to the issuing of membership cards (I renewed 2 months ago and am still waiting). If you need to know your number urgently for insurance purposes contact the club directly and they'll be able to provide the details -Tel: 01332 291675 Email: liz.saxon (at) mmoc.org.uk
