I am fairly busy attending forties weekends which means my MG TF SUNSTORM has only done a total of 600 miles in the last three years, so I have decided to sell the old girl and let someone else with fewer cars and more free time than me have the pleasure of owning her.
The SUNSTORM version of the MG TF is a limited edition where only 612 were made and comes with a factory hard top, larger brakes, ABS, 16 inch eleven spoke wheels and all sorts of other goodies.
How strange then when placing an advertisement on ebay containing at least five photos of said car with the hard top attached and a description including details of the hard top etc etc, the bloody stupid inane questions asked by potential buyers, for example, does it come with a hard top!
I imagine many of the buyers have difficulty reading and seemingly writing as I received an email with a derisory offer and the statement, it aint worth much m8.
Perhaps, I’m a touch sensative but I think I’d rather give it away to someone who would appreciate it than sell it to someone who calls me m8!
To this end I have now entered it in the Mathewsons October auction, hopefully to find a buyer who has the ability to google search MG TF SUNSTORM to find the finer points of this venicle.
I am a retired actor, although to be honest I only retired because I wasn't getting any work due to losing my agent when I became a full time carer to my mother who had dementia. and the option of becoming an unemployed actor/waiter at my age was ludicrous, especially as my waiting skills are non-existent.
Having said I’m retired, I don’t think there really is such a thing as a retired actor for I am still available for work, I just don’t have an agent or any connections with regards to obtaining any worthwhile work.
I have over the years done student films when there is nothing else available, always low paid (if at all) the only incentive was always the promised copy of the finished film for your show reel which nine times out of ten always failed to materialise.
I spent many years looking after my aged mother and shortly after her death I was lucky enough to run into an ex-girlfriend of many years ago and our romance blossomed once again, resulting in us getting married in 2013.
My move to the countryside inspired me to write The Diary of a Country Bumpkin which tells of my continuing dilemmas in dealing with the rigors of the countryside from the unexpectedly large number of pollens, fungal moulds and hay products waiting to attack the unsuspecting townie.
I enjoy writing, see my play Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori on The Wireless Theatre Company, The Plays Wot I Wrote and The Battle of Barking Creek both available on Amazon.co.uk and am very fond of classic cars so my ideal occupation would be acting in a film I had written set in the 1930s/40s, we live in hopes.
I am delighted to say that since venturing to the countryside where space is not quite the premium it is in town, I have due to the availability of two double garages acquired more classic cars to form a small collection the pride of which are a 1947 Bentley Mk VI and a 2000 Bentley Arnage.
My various blogs and websites are continually evolving and I’m sure that by following the appropriate links you will find something which will edify or amuse.
I have written a number of different books all available on Amazon, so don't be shy should you feel the urge to purchase. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-Joe-Wells/e/B06XKWFQHT/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1
