In Brief:

  • Project example of an MG MGF
  • Finished in Red with Silver hardtop over a Cream leather interior
  • Owned by the current keeper for last 21 years
  • 2 former keepers

On the Surface:

A project example of MG’s mid-engined roadster, this 1996 MGF is finished in Red, with a Silver detachable hard top and a Cream leather interior with Red piping.

Maintenance & History:

RHX 1Y has been in the hands of the current registered keeper for the past 21 years and has just two former keepers prior to that. The car does require attention, notably to an ignition barrel fault which can affect starting and it currently does not idle independently once running. These issues make it a project for an enthusiast or mechanic looking for an entry-level modern classic to recommission.

The Model:

Introduced in 1995, the MG MGF marked the marque’s revival, boasting a mid-engine layout, Hydragas suspension and a lively driving character. Affordable, stylish, and fun, it quickly gained a following and remains a popular entry point into open-top motoring today.

Sale Insight:

With its long-term ownership and inclusion of a Silver hard top, this MGF represents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a rewarding project.
