Description
Offered
without reserve; 110,682 miles showing; in need of light recommissioning due to
being off the road for a couple of years
Offered without reserve, this September 1997 MG MGF 1.8i VVC presents
an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a modern British sports car at an
accessible entry point. Finished in attractive metallic blue and powered by the
lively 1,796cc VVC engine paired with a desirable 5-speed manual transmission,
this MGF captures the spirited open-top motoring experience that made these cars
such a popular choice among enthusiasts. With 110,682 miles displayed, the
indicated mileage appears consistent with the accompanying DVLA MOT history,
offering useful reassurance for prospective bidders.
In current ownership since December 2020, this example has been dry
stored since its MOT expired in May 2024 and is now realistically described as a
recommissioning project, having been off the road for the last two years. As
expected, the car will require a new battery, although notably it has been jump
started and driven on site for photography purposes, suggesting a solid starting
point for restoration or revival. The bodywork shows age-related cosmetic marks
consistent with its years and use, but these do little to diminish the appeal of
this characterful little sports car.
With 20
former keepers recorded, this MGF is offered as an honest project for the next
custodian to recommission, improve, and enjoy. Whether approached as an
affordable classic to return to the road, a rewarding mechanical project, or a
fun weekend convertible with growing modern classic credentials, this no reserve
MG represents a tempting proposition for enthusiasts willing to invest some time
and care.
