Hi all, Soon to be part of the mps family! We Have just put a deposit down on a 58 plate red mps 1st generation, As our first child is due in December and we needed a motor with 5 doors. Always loved the mps so What better option for the money. Just hope my wife don't kill me when she realises how much juice it gets through. Think we've had bit of a result too, as been looking for a while now and not really found the one for me as all the good ones seem to get snapped up within a day of being advertised.. Being in the bodywork game it was important to find one that had very little signs of paint work. What you guys think? Managed to get one on a 58 plate, only 29k miles, FMSH, one owner from new and totally standard. £7500

It was on there a little while ago I think but at the time just out of my price range so didn't really pay it any attention. I then found it on eBay, and after a small ppi pay back we started looking a little higher. I've just put a post in the general section you might be able to help with? Just waiting for it to be cleared by the moderator and made public. Not sure if it is an Aero or not?

I think it is a good deal. A year ago I got mine, a 58 plate mk1 aero with 22700mi, for £8500. It's got 31700mi on it now
