Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a Gentry sportscar, a replica of the MG TF, built in the early 2000s using a Triumph Spitfire/MG Midget 1500cc engine. Owned by a retired race mechanic, it has undergone recent maintenance but requires further minor adjustments before being road-ready, making it a project car for enthusiasts.

Therefore, a rating of 'Good' seems appropriate, indicating moderate wear and the need for some reconditioning.

In 2008 the concept was sold to new owners who formed the Gentry Car Company, based in Nuneaton, and production restarted.
In 2019 the company and all rights were sold again and The Gentry Motor Car Company Ltd was reformed, shortly to put the Gentry back into production with new MG and Mazda-based engine options, in addition to offering restoration services fo...
