With a strong following as a modern classic, the MG Fs and TFs featured a mid-mounted 1. 6-litre or 1. 8-litre engine and arguably handle better than the highly regarded Mazda MX5. The second-generation MG TF changed from the earlier car’s complex Hydragas suspension, in favour of coil springs. Various cosmetic changes occurred with the Mk. IIs launch including a revised grille, redesigned front headlights, bumpers, side air-intake grills, rear boot, etc. Production was suspended in April 2005, when MG Rover collapsed but not before 39, 249 Mk. II MG TFs were built from 2002 onwards. Great value for money and an ideal entry into the world of classic cars.
One of just 600 ‘Cool Blue’ 2003 special editions, it offered the motorist some refreshing features for the MG TF. Unique were the blue Alcantara and leather seats, a blue hood, and the well-known 16-inch 6-spoke alloy wheels. Paintwork options included Anthracite, Pearlescent Trophy Blue, or Starlight Silver. Other distinguishing features were the bright mesh kit, a wind-stop, fog lights at the front, Alcantara and leather interior, and alloy gearknob. Supplied via Edmondson Rover of Ipswich, being first registered in the UK on the 23rd of May 2003, this Cool Blue is finished in the Pearlescent Trophy Blue paintwork with Blue Alcantara and Black leather seats upholstery and a Dark Blue hood.
A low mileage example having covered just 47, 000 miles from new, at the hands of just five former keepers, the MG has benefited from a cylinder head overhaul and re-face around 1, 500 miles ago. Last serviced and with a cambelt and alternator belt change at 45, 541 miles by marque specialists Rough Luck Racing, this included a pressure test. ‘AV03 YNL’ is accompanied by the original combined owner's handbook and stamped service book, there is a small collection of invoices, and a current V5C document with just five former keepers. Minimal mileage since the cylinder head overhaul and offered without reserve!
