The MGF was unveiled to considerable acclaim in the autumn of 1995.
It was powered by a 1,796cc version of MG Rover's K Series engine, mated to a close-ratio five-speed manual gearbox.
The impressive ride was courtesy of Hydragas suspension, similar to that of the Rover Metro.
Performance was lively—for the standard (non-VVC) version, you can expect around 8.5secs.
for the 0-60mph sprint and a top speed of 120mph.
Some 77,269 MGFs had been built by the time the model was supplanted by the TF in 2002.
A low owners and miles example of one of the last British-made MG sports cars, this MGF was produced in British Racing Green with the desirable option of an interior trimmed partly with Mirage cloth and partly with Black leather.
It was originally sold in November, 2001, by Lookers Rover of Stockport, and was retained by its first keeper until 2007.
The second keeper’s tenure was brief and it was still 2007 when it entered the third and present registered ownership.
