Service book included
Valid French technical inspection until July 2027

The Appeal

The MGF marked MG's return to the two-seat sports car market in the mid-1990s. Its mid-engined layout was a bold departure from the front-engined tradition of its predecessors, delivering nimble handling and a rewarding driving experience thanks to its low kerb weight and well-positioned 1.8-litre K-Series engine.

This 1999 example in green with a black interior presents in smart nick for its age. The vendor reports it has been garage-kept throughout its life, and rates the bodywork, paintwork, interior and mechanicals all as very good. A service book accompanies the car, and the service history is described as good. The French technical inspection is valid until July 2027. Prospective buyers should note the items listed in The Detail section below. A service is due and the tyres will need attention, but this remains a charming British roadster ready for its next custodian.
