The brushless one utilizes inside circuitry to produce a revolving magnetic field, thus viably wiping out the requirement for the brushes.

I've got an MY05 TF160 that I have owned from new.
The chrome 160 wing badges are original and only appear on the 2005 model.
2005 cars also have a different 'TF' lettering badge on the rear. On earlier cars the badge is satin silver, and located under the LH tail light, but on 2005 TF's the badge is chrome, and positioned centrally under the MG badge.

Only 172 MY05 TF160's were built, so they are relatively rare.
