hi all, currently loosely looking at MPS' either a mk1 3 or more likely a 6. current ride is a blobeye scooby wagon stage 2 tuned to 340hp / 320 ft lbs  am interested in a 6 as a more 'sedate' Q car, the scoob gets lots of attention (both good and bad  ) cheers,

Think you will enjoy the 6, be aware of the high tax bracket as it might or might not affect your decision

Hello there, good look with the search.
You'll have to spend a fair few £ to get to your scoobies 340 standard though.

i would opt for a 3 mk1, no grandad labelling going on then but in all fairness both are great cars, no experience in a 6 but from what i've read on here

thanks guys - is there no-one in the south with an MPS?!?!?  was hoping someone could take me out for a ride and let me see one up close  my ex had a mk1 3 sport which was a great car, but i'm dubious about going back to FWD - hence the preference ATM for a 6. yeah, scoob has cost me a reasonable amount - coilovers, bigger turbo, injectors, FMIC, air filter cone, harvey up pipe, harvey 3 port boost solenoid, fuel pump, BOV, alloy race rad, not forgetting remap. its pretty nippy  , guess i just feel like a change, scoob gets good and bad attention as stated. it gets boring with every chav trying to race you or trying to provoke a show of how fast/slow they think your car will be. so this is why i quite fancy a 6 - not many about and even fewer know what they are.
