Hi again, right ive done a little bit of homework and the model im after is the first carnation 1600 with the digi talking dash. I know most of these are now either bean cans or cherrished by owners, but ive got my heart set on one now. Ive seen a few pop up on ebay and they are not so bad projects, but im after the one where the lady talks as my daughter used to say 20 yrs ago which was when I had my old one.
again, if anyone knows of one then let me know. And if I do get one, I will be in touch nottingham chaps, im only in burton joyce.

You can always retrofit the dash/voice if you find a car that you like that doesn't have it.

A lovely MG1600 "R" Series with digi dash that I once owned only resold a few weeks ago for over £4000.

4k! Sounds good money for an mg but if it was the first gen then 4 k isent that bad. Im still looking for a first gen mg maestro, so again please let me know if you know of one.

Oddly that same car I refered to in the post above was obviously bought by a dealer & I understand it is now for auction with a price of £6 to £!0,000.
