1997 MG F VVC review from UK and Ireland
"Mid-engined grins..."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket - probably my fault (pushed a little too hard when cold!)
General comments?
Very quick with excellent handling.
I have been shocked by the fuel economy which is excellent!
Looks good with the top up or down.
Leather seats are very comfortable, we can quite happily go several hundred miles without having to stop!
Nice noise from the engine behind your head :-)
