Hello Everyone

Just joined so saying hello, been looking at 1.8vvc MGF and a few MGTF 135s, should be seeing a MGTF160 before weekend, WFH and no need for 2 'sensible' cars is allowing me to ponder my midlife crisis. After a few diesel family cars broke a run of Mini, Ford XRs, 220 turbo coupe, MX5 mk1, S13 200sx, I am looking to go back to enjoying driving and having a car worth looking after.

So far a 50k MGF 1.8vvc has me pondering between the (in my opinion) better looking MGTF and accepting as I get older maybe the more 'subtle' MGF....

Anyways hello!

Cheers
Adrian

Hi and welcome.
go for the TF160 and then have the VHS dampers fitted, it will make the ride so much better

Thank you.

Yeah, only concern is tf160 seems to have 1 wonky tailpipe and boot doesn't look like lines up on pics I've seen will know better when I see it in the flesh.

Hi and welcome. I'm biased but i prefer the looks of the f over the tf. Whatever you buy though you should be happy with and have plenty of fun

Hi and welcome to the forum.

The best advice I can offer is to try a few

The F and the TF drive quite differently.
And then the Trophy and MY05 are different to their respective main models.

Also consider the use you want from the car, the F is more of a tourer while the TF is more of a sports car.
In normal driving a F120 or a TF135 are nice but the F-143 VVC and the TF-160 VVC come in to their own when driven hard.

Good luck with your search.

James

Thanks everyone, so now on the drive is a 50k X reg, solar red, MGF 1.8vvc - (MY2000 ?). It seemed best option for me and will be my daily driver.

Might already have on order a 52mm throttle body, and the little springs to lower seat a bit. Not sure about the gold hardtop that came with it, but we'll see, it's a bit better now I've put it on straight, and will come off when I find somewhere to store it.....

Put it on straight?
Take it off and enjoy the wind in your hair.

When I first picked it up and drove it home, there was loads of wind noise...

Dumped it on drive yesterday... wind in lack of hair these days...
