What's the worst car you can buy with an MOT for £500? Is it this MG ZR? 

I had a Mk 1 ZR and a Mk 2 ZS and loved both of them the ZR was so good to drive and the ZS with an induction kit fitted to the V6 sounded so good and very distinctive. I wish that the ZS didn't drink petrol at the rate of 5 miles to the Litre so ultimately I had to let it go.

Great video, always interesting messing about with retro cars , love it, I had one of these in le mans green but it was the 1.8VVC , was rapid

Oh you missed a vauxhall corsa b in London m plate moted may low mileage gls 1.4 for 500 last week as well Vauxhall pink as well lol

Got a mk1 ford focus st170 recently that needed a bit of welding for its mot. 93k, handles great, quicker than I thought and loves having the nuts revved off it. So much better than these old mg rovers, which were poor even when new.

Nice one Geoff, not a bad example. Plenty of life yet 😬 It isn't all doom and gloom with the starting issues, had the same on my ZS. The spade connector that plugs into the starter solenoid can become corroded and loose. Needs taking off, cleaning and refitting tightly. Can all be accessed from above the car. Probably a tip for the next owner at this point! Worked for me. Can't be dealing with driveway roulette 🤣

I'm currently on the look out for a cheap, older, work commute runner if our place end WFH altogether (currently allowed 2-3 days a week), as don't wnat to put the miles on my main car. Hoping to find something with MOT around the £500 mark, cheap to run, tax and insure. #KeepAnOldcarOnTheRoad

Nice cars almost bought one last year but they suffers with Headgasket problems so did the zs

I'm proud to say I had one and loved it!!!

Almost free motoring if you weigh it in at MOT time... personally I'd be on ebay looking for a couple of wings for 60 quid, that car has £1k written all over it as long as the underneath isn't dead.

I bought one of these, ‘04 plate, about 6 or 7 years ago for £350, drove it practically everyday since, over 100k miles, and it’s still going strong. Never broken down once, sailed through every MOT, it has hardly costed a penny in maintenance. The rust is a constant battle I will admit, but other than that, it’s a wonderful little car that’s hugely underrated and unbelievably economical. I absolutely adore it, and genuinely hope it’ll keep running forever. I’ll be heartbroken when it eventually stops, but no signs at all of that happening yet - see if i can get another 100k miles out of her!

Worst. Surely an mg is one of the best things you could get for 500. 500 doesn't buy much these days. I've seen absolute lemons for £2000 these days that would have been 500 cars not to long ago.

I implore anyone to buy a ticket. The chance to get that magical phone call whilst live on Facebook and be offered a piece of faded motoring glory, the likes of which will never be made again surely can't be missed?. I won a Citroen XM. Isn't that everyone's secret dream car??

After years of shitbox ownership, I recently sold my 62 plate 535d for 12k and went hunting for a 500quid shitbox as I only drive a car 2 or 3 times a month... did I get a shock. People are wanting 2 grand for rusty 180k golfs now! I thought I did well scoring a 10 plate astra sri 1.7 cdti with 190k for £900

I got a 1998 Corsa with 42k miles on it for £450 3 years ago. Fitted a new EGR valve (£25 on ebay) And a MAF sensor (£15 ebay) It's now on 96k miles and still going strong.

Geoff, I really want to win this car - please 🤣😝 ZRs and ZSs have been in the family, and soft spot is an understatement.

£400 for a half decent shed? Or four tanks of diesel for a family saloon car. I’ll probably have to spend more than half that just on road tax this year.

Shame it's not a holy grail MG Atomix special edition 🤣

Always wanted one wish I was that lucky

I paid £300 for mine but it was seriously rusty. See “Project Stinky” on my channel. Great car. Great channel.

Ive sold better cars for 300 quid with a few months mot left of them lol

If you got the new keeper v5 part just get a v62 from the post office fill it out & and it's free. 🙄
