Highlights
- Black OEM hard top included in the sale
- Garage stored for the majority of the last two years
- Private registration included in the sale
- The vendor reports good all-round condition with no mechanical defects
The Appeal
The MGF marked MG's much-anticipated return to the two-seat sports car market, with familiar nostalgia-baiting styling and a tight-handling chassis powered along by the ever-trusty 1.8-litre K-Series. It's a fabulous, eyecatching return to the Great British Sports Car's ideals - fun and ready to go.
This 2001 example has covered 91,000 miles and comes with the desirable black OEM hard top, making it a viable year-round proposition as well as a summer toy. Having been garage-stored for much of the past two years, it's clearly been a much-loved daily driver. Now, being sold due to the vendor's ill health, this MGF offers a great entry point into one of MG's distinctive modern classic.
