Description
2004 MG TF 1. 8 Sunstorm SE (135bhp) – Limited Edition – 47, 348 miles – Rare Future Classic
One of only 500 Sunstorm SE models produced, this is a rare and increasingly sought-after MG TF. Just 47k miles from new, ex-demonstrator then one long-term private owner, full MG dealer history, and the major K-Series work already done.
Recent Major Mechanical Work (2025):
Upgraded MLS (multi-layer steel) head gasket
Strengthened oil rails & high-tensile head studs
Cylinder head skimmed (Sutton Rebore)
New timing belt kit, water pump & thermostat
New engine oil + filter
So, all the common K-Series concerns addressed – this engine is now rebuilt for better durability.
Service History & Documents:
Full MG dealer history to Sept 2019 (EMG Croydon at 47, 079 miles – only 300 miles since)
MOT valid until 18th June 2026
2 original keys, full book pack, stamped service book, V5C present
Condition:
Runs very well, with sound mechanical work and a recent major engine rebuild. The latest MOT advisories note:
- Slight play in the o/ s front wheel bearing (minor and straightforward)
- Light surface corrosion to brake discs, suspension and subframes — due to lack of use over the past 6 years while the car was in storage. This is not structural and does not affect strength or safety.
Bodywork shows expected age-related wear (stone chips on front bumper, light bubbling on arches, boot lid could benefit from respray), but overall the car presents honestly and is very usable.

Summary
A rare Sunstorm SE with unusually low mileage, full main dealer history, long MOT, and the crucial engine work completed. Ready to be enjoyed — or lightly restored into a £6k+ collector’s example.
