1997 MG MGF
***NO RESERVE***Low-mileage, well-presented example with long M.O.T

Registration – R78 DVC

Chassis No. – SARRDWBGBAD022833

M.O.T. – August 2026

Odometer – 55,000

Presented in striking metallic Tahiti Blue with a contrasting beige leather interior, this MGF has covered just over 55,000 miles from new and offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a low-mileage modern classic roadster. The interior remains in tidy, original condition, with its distinctive MG-branded white-faced dials, leather seats with black piping, and manual five-speed gearbox.

The paintwork retains a good depth of shine and appears to have been well cared for, complemented by a matching black soft top. Under the rear deck sits the mid-mounted 1.8-litre K-Series engine, producing around 118bhp and delivering lively performance through a well-balanced chassis – characteristics that helped make the MGF one of the best-handling British sports cars of its era.

With an M.O.T. valid until August 2026, this example is ready to be enjoyed immediately. Offering open-top motoring at a very affordable entry point, it represents superb value for money and an ideal introduction to MG ownership.

  • Just over 55,000 miles from new, with a long M.O.T. to August 2026

  • Attractive Tahiti Blue over beige leather interior combination

  • Offered without reserve
