What do you want from your car?

Good looks, leather, few track days and road trips and occasional commute

Trophy 160, mind you I am biased, they only have part leather but could be swapped.

I would say get a 2002-2005 vvc as they are a bit rear and there for should hold there value a bit better and they make a better road car thanks to there low down torque [ from 1900rpm ]

You say that like it's a problem, personally I'd go for alcantara, all 4 of our modified MGs have it.

You have the choice of F or TF which is a matter of personal preference.
There is a multitude of ways you can alter the look to suit your taste.

The F comes with hydragas on the F or normal springs and shocks on the TF.
Hydragas is better for cruising, shocks and springs for driving hard.

As above, I prefer Alcantara, leather is a status symbol and is shower proof but Alcantara is sportier.
What ever the car comes with it can be changed.

Engine wise the MGF Trophy or the TF160 come with the most powerful 160bhp VVC engine, the earlier MGF VVC comes with a 143bhp but it's still quick, especially with a few tweeks. The mk2 MGF and TF come with later engine management that can be tuned.

My advice is to try a few and see what you fancy.

(We've done 4 trips to Italy in our mk1 VVC and I regularly use it to commute, even in deepest winter, roof down in light snow at 5.30am. I haven't done any track days but if I were it would be in the ZS)

I have done a few circuits in the F but not as track days - Reims, Naples and Monaco.
And I've done both Goodwood circuits in a truck.....
