Safety & Convenience Features: Reinforced body structure, ABS, driver’s airbag, remote central locking, volumetric and perimetric alarm, speed-sensitive power steering, electric windows, and halogen headlamps.

Exterior :
Finished in stunning Platinum Silver (Code MNX), the paintwork retains a deep, factory-fresh shine thanks to meticulous care and garaged storage. The car is virtually blemish-free, with only a few minor touch-ins barely worth mentioning. The original woven acrylic fabric hood is immaculate, with a perfectly clear plastic rear screen. The optional factory hardtop is in excellent condition, showing only a few light storage marks. Pristine trim, light clusters, and badges, along with the correct orange indicator lenses, highlight its originality.
This car will satisfy even the most discerning MG enthusiast and must be one of the finest surviving examples.
Interior :
The interior exudes luxury with the Wood and Leather Interior Trim Pack, featuring Black leather upholstery (Code PUU) in outstanding condition. The carpets, protected by luxury mats since new, and the ivory-colored dials with MG logos evoke classic MG styling cues. The 7250rpm redline on the tachometer confirms its status as the high-performance VVC model.
Notably, the bright door sill finishers still retain their original factory cellophane! Both the front and rear luggage compartments are spotless, with the front housing an unused Goodyear spare wheel with colored banding, the original jack, and all factory plates and labels intact.
Engine & Transmission :
The 1796cc VVC engine delivers 143bhp, enabling a 0-60mph sprint in just 7. 0 seconds and a top speed of 130mph. Its mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration ensures exceptional handling and driver enjoyment. The short-throw sports-ratio five-speed gearbox complements the car's performance-oriented character.
Wheels, Tyres and Brakes :
The original 15-inch VVC alloy wheels remain immaculate, free from any damage. They are shod with the factory-fitted Goodyear Eagle Touring tyres (185/ 55 R15 front, 205/ 50 R15 rear), which retain ample tread but should be replaced due to age if regular driving is intended. The ventilated front discs and solid rear discs, coupled with ABS, provide confident and precise braking.

First registered on 22nd March 1999 by Lex Rover of Chelmsford, this MGF has had just three owners, including the first, Mr. Potter. It comes with an impeccable history file, including:
Complete MG leather wallet with all handbooks, guides, and service book featuring 10 service stamps and three cambelt changes, including the VVC belt.
