The Appeal
The MG TF was the first 'new' MG since 1980, and it dripped nostalgia from every pore. A continuation of MG's line of nimble roadsters, it was a fiercely desirable little car when it hit the market, and has since become a dead-set modern classic. There were a few editions - this one is the much-loved 160 Spark SE, of which only 1,000 were built for the UK market.
It's a handsome example, and stands out as a cherished one-owner vehicle with remarkably low mileage, having covered just 21,179 miles from new and accompanied by a full service history. This TF160 SE is a rare, desirable sports car that's got everything going for it.
