MGF 1.8 75th Anniversary Edition 1999
Now offered for sale is this 1999 MGF 1.8 75th Anniversary. Supplied new by Rayrigg Rover of Kendal, this is one of just 2000 produced worldwide while just 500 were made available for the UK market. Finished in Mulberry Red with a black mohair soft top and matching black hard top, the interior has Grenadine Red leather seats with matching door casings, handbrake and gear lever gaiter and steering wheel. Interior and exterior door handles, grille and bodyside air intakes are all finished in chrome. It has a set of the correct MGF carpet mats fitted too.
Mileage is quite low at 66400 and the car is in lovely condition throughout. Specification includes power steering, electric windows, remote central locking and 16” alloy wheels. Paintwork and bodywork are exceptionally good with no rust anywhere though there is a little wear on the driver’s seat bolster.
Over the last few years, this has had a fortune spent on it. In 2017 and at 58400 miles it had:
Head gasket replaced along with two new piston liners and rings.
New clutch
New brake discs and pads all round
Water pump
New alternator and lots more with a total bill of £3248.
Then in April 2022, the car was sold by MGF specialists Trophy Cars (for £4995) and at that time, had head gasket, water pump and cambelt replaced (I'm guessing this work was carried out again so that Trophy Cars could confidently supply a certificate stating that head gasket, water pump etc were replaced, something they seem to do with all of their cars - I have the certificate too). This was at 61371 miles - 5000 miles ago.
Apart from earlier services which are all stamped up in the accompanying service book, later services were at at:
61104 April 21
61371 April 22
63607 April 23
65671 April 24
The car has two keys and central locking fobs, its original tonneau cover, original Owner's Handbook pack and service book and a collection of receipts for work carried out. When new, this car would have had wood trim in various parts of the interior. The previous owner preferred a more low-key black trim as shown but I still have the original wood trim which will come with the car and could be fitted if required. The cherished number plate is to remain with the car. The car has only just arrived and I have a few minor jobs to carry out yet: more photos and details to follow.
It looks brilliant and drives exceptionally well. I’ll include 12 months MOT if the asking price of £3795 is met.
STATUS: Available now and a deposit secures it.
