MG TD TF 1500 - New Purchase Advice Needed

I am thinking about purchasing an mgtf 1.8 160 Sprint

I have a couple of concerns that I am hoping someone can help me with.

1) There is a distinct gap between the seals and the hood when the roof is up on the passenger side. Can this be adjusted to prevent leaking?

2) Upon starting the engine there is some blue smoke which comes from the drivers side exhaust.... what could this be the symptoms of?

If anyone else has any other pointers for me to look for please could they post them? Many thanks,

Mel

Hi Mel,

Our 'TDs' and 'TFs' were made over 50 years ago. Since the MGTF 1.8 160 Sprint was never offered to us in the USA, I'm not sure what to tell you.

Most of our TF's give off smoke when started, which is not surprising considering they are fifty years old!
Try the MGF thread.
