"The MGF was the first new model designed as an MG since the MGB that was produced from 1962 to 1980. It was initially designed by the Rover Group during the period it was owned by British Aerospace and was brought to market after the business had been sold to the German car manufacturer BMW. It was powered by a 1.8 litre K-Series 16-valve engine, the basic having 118bhp while the more powerful VVC (variable valve control) had 143bhp. Steve Harper of MGA Developments produced the initial design concept in January 1991 having been inspired by the Jaguar XJR-15 and the Ferrari 250LM, before Rover's in house design team refined the concept under the leadership of Gerry McGovern. An interesting feature of the F was its Hydragas suspension, a system employing interconnected fluid and gas displacers which provided a surprisingly compliant ride, but which could be tuned to provide excellent handling characteristics.
This MGF was originally registered on 15th March 2000 the car benefitted from uprated brakes and a stainless steel cooling system amongst significant expenditure lavished on the little 1.8 pocket rocket boasting the VVC (variable valve control) engine with 143bhp. A good history file accompanies this MGF including the book pack. In the colour combination of silver with a black interior, this MGF is supplied with a V5C registration document and a current MoT test certificate valid until January 2024. This is a great fun car for a modest outlay.
Estimate £2,000 - £5,000"
