Description
Introduced in January 2002 the MG TF is a practical, reliable and economical 2-seat sports car, just what MG tradition is based upon. It replaced the earlier MG F model, which had itself been launched in 1995.
The MG TF was the UK’s bestselling two seat sports car for each full year of production from 2002 to 2005, taking this mantle from the earlier MG F.
This car comes with Rover’s K series 1. 8 litre 4 cylinder multi point injection petrol engine, producing 134 bhp and fitted with a 5 speed close ratio gearbox.
Although based upon the MG F mid-engine platform, the MG TF was heavily redesigned and reengineered, the most significant mechanical changes were the abandonment of Hydragas suspension in favour of a conventional coil springs set-up with more precise damping control. In addition, a redesigned air induction system, along with new camshafts produces more power than in MG F engines and the torsional stiffness of the body increased by 20%. All combined, this provided the MG TF, with a harder edged and more involving driving experience over the MG F.
Various cosmetic changes include a revised grille, redesigned high performance twinned projector headlights, bumpers, side air-intake grills and rear boot.
This example in sought after Trophy Blue, presents in lovely overall condition and benefits from additional upgrades that include 16” wheels, part leather seats and upgraded Bluetooth equipped DAB radio/ CD player. The car comes with comprehensive service and maintenance invoices. Additionally, 13 stamps in its service book to date along with annual MOT history from 2007, combine to support its low mileage.
Having been well maintained, invoice history evidences, head gasket and cam belt change at 37. 5K miles and another cam belt and water pump change at 52. 3K miles and a full service at 54K miles.
Finally, as part of the pre-sales preparation the underside was treated a comprehensive underside preservation treatment.
As a future classic, this MG TF in excellent condition, with a comprehensive maintenance and service history, low mileage and additional upgrades, represents great value for money and with a “no advisories” MOT until December 2025, is ready to be driven and enjoyed.
