Description

The 2004 MG TF is a compact, characterful roadster that rewards an engaged driver. With its lightweight feel and rear-wheel drive layout, the 1.8 petrol engine and manual gearbox deliver a lively, communicative drive that suits winding country lanes and city cruising alike. The car's responsive steering and poised chassis make it enjoyable for short spirited runs or relaxed open-top motoring.

Beyond the driving experience, this TF is practical for its class: low running costs, a modest insurance group and a straightforward mechanical layout. With sensible economy for its era and a tidy service history, it’s an appealing, easy-to-own classic sports car for weekend or daily use.
