Description

1997 Rover MGF, a classic British mid-engine convertible. 1.8-litre petrol

Good working order Reliable Routine maintenance completed. The top head motor has been reconditioned The convertible roof works well, and the canvas has been replaced.

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.
