With a strong following as a modern classic, the MGFs and TFs featured a mid-mounted 1. 6-litre or 1. 8-litre engine and arguably handled better than the highly regarded Mazda MX5. The second-generation TF changed from the earlier car’s complex Hydragas suspension, in favour of coil springs. Various cosmetic changes occurred with the TF’s launch including a revised grille, redesigned front headlights, bumpers, side air-intake grills, an improved rear boot, etc. Production was suspended in April, 2005, when MG Rover collapsed but not before 39, 249 TFs had been built since 2002. Nowadays, they offer great value for money and an ideal entry into the world of classic cars.
One of the best styling trends of the early 2000s was the vogue for iridescent paints. Originally popular in the modified car scene, they found favour with some production car-makers, most notably TVR, but they were also offered with MGs ordered through the Monogram Bespoke Build scheme, which gave buyers freedom to choose from a range of special paint and interior colours, interior fabrics and other bespoke options. We are very pleased to offer a rare surviving MG TF ordered new through the Monogram scheme in the Spectre Chromactive paint.
This car has had only four owners, with the registered keeper acquiring it in 2013, when it was fitted with a new grey hood. It appears now as an excellent low-mileage survivor which has benefitted extensively from recent maintenance, including a new ignition coil and leads, head gasket, timing belt, water pump, camshaft oil seals and two tyres in 2019, when the head was skimmed as well, new rear brake discs and pads in 2021, a new lambda sensor in 2023 and a radiator overhaul in 2024. Perhaps most impressively of all, it has covered fewer than 38, 000 miles and is offered with an MOT with no advisories valid until May, 2026. The thick history file contains the V5C, many MOTs, invoices and tax discs, plus service history.
