Re: MGTF Looks Special! but is it?
Its not a special edition as the ad says, but quite possibly a monogram coloured specced up car.
Blue hood doesn't work for me though, and would benefit from the bright pack.
If I had to guess I would say it was monogram saffron.
Dave Tynan should be able to tell you how many TF's were made in that colour, and may even be able to confirm the colour from the reg.

Re: MGTF Looks Special! but is it?
I'd agree with Steve that it's Saffron (Supertallic) from the Monogram range.

... and the only one of three with paint Saffron (Special Metallic) and VAJ Champagne Oxford Leather interior 
TF135
The other two are Ebony Black Oxford Leather and Black Sebring fabric.
I'd say, go and get her

Re: MGTF Looks Special! but is it?
Decent money for a rare car, a one off indeed and I would think with the interior, the best of the three.

Re: MGTF Looks Special! but is it?
I've just had a reply from the seller on eBay. Apparently he bought the TF off the guy who had it on Gumtree and is now selling her on with a new MoT. Professional dealer. Nice profit, though. Anyway, as the acquisition price is known to the general public, I am in doubt he will get the money he asks for.

Re: MGTF Looks Special! but is it?
Dieter is spot on, rare indeed but not a special edition.
Would be a nice buy for someone looking for something unusual.

But checking the ad on ebay, she has found a new home anyway.

Re: MGTF Looks Special! but is it?
Think the car may still be for sale, if anyone wants it
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2003-MG-TF-13 ... 33812b6390
The seller had two adverts running on eBay both for different time periods. Neither have had a bid on as yet
