Description

Letting go of my 1997 Rover MGF, a classic British mid-engine convertible. This 1.8-litre petrol roadster brings the genuine sports-car feel that made these cars special.

The car is in good working order, has been reliable, and has recently had routine maintenance completed. The top head motor has been reconditioned, with receipts available for peace of mind. Being imported to New Zealand, it's now ready for its next owner to enjoy. With its unique mid-engine layout, the MGF offers balanced handling and a fun, engaging driving experience. The convertible roof works well, and the canvas has been replaced, so it’s ideal for sunny weekend drives along coastal roads.

Inside, the car features the factory 4-speaker audio system and a tidy interior for its age. To be transparent, there are a couple of minor quirks: reverse can sometimes crunch slightly, and there’s a small dent on the front. Neither of these affects the way the car drives or performs.

Features: 1.8L petrol engine Mid-engine layout for balanced handling Convertible roof with new canvas Hydragas suspension system Imported to New Zealand Maintained in good working order Top head motor reconditioned (receipts available) Factory 4-speaker audio system Interior tidy for its age 68,000kms Will come with new WOF and 3 months rego

This MGF represents a great way to get into British sports-car ownership without breaking the bank. It’s a head-turner that’s fun to drive, mechanically sound, and becoming increasingly collectible.
