Quote form the british Motor Museum....
Now this is our Christmas number one! Just in time for the holidays, the very first MGF is now on show in the Welcome Gallery in the Museum. We have been so excited to show you, so come over and have a look for yourself! Follow us for more updates coming soon on the unique vehicles we have been able to secure on loan from MG Motor UK.end quote

This first of line MGF is on loan from MG Motor UK, with the chassis number '251' which most of us know in the past all MG's chassis started with '251' which was the then Abingdoon Factory telephone number

Despite its age, the MGF is still a very pretty car, roof up or down. Mind you, I'm biased.
