Owing to a mere 8,216 miles, this garaged from new sports car is in remarkable condition throughout, with body panels pin straight and undamaged. The hood is flawless and the plastic rear screen clear and fully intact and complete with tonneau and optional wind stop. All trim, light clusters and badges are in marvellous order and the correct orange indicator lenses denote an earlier pre-facelift car. The underside and wheelarch apertures and very clean with no excess applied underseal. Further original features include the supplying dealer fitted number plates and tax disc holder with the first issue 1998 disc! This example will satisfy the MG fanatic seeking a low mileage and low owner cherished example in impeccable condition.
INTERIOR
A well-appointed interior featuring the desirable Combined Wood and Leather Interior Trim Pack. The leather upholstery chosen is the Light Stone Beige (Code SMK), which compliments the Tahiti Blue perfectly. All the upholstery is in beautiful condition commensurate with the very low mileage and pampered ownership. The seats are spotless, as are the matching door cards. The cut pile carpets have been protected since new by genuine luxury MG carpet mats. The leather trimmed items as listed above are flawless and the wood trim detailing is fully intact with just the veneer to the top of the centre vent very slightly faded. The ivory-coloured dials of the instrument binnacle with the MG logos recall traditional MG design cues and were only fitted to the early cars. All functions operate perfectly including the original MG stereo cassette. Both front and rear luggage areas are surprisingly spacious and spotless with the front housing and all factory plates and labels. Fantastic.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The four-cylinder 1796cc engine produces 118bhp enabling a top speed of 120mph and 0-60mph in just 8.5 seconds. The light weight body, mid-mounted engine and rear wheel drive configuration possesses all the correct sports car credentials to ensure optimum driver delight. The short throw sports ratio five speed gearbox is light and precise.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The original 15-inch six-spoke alloy wheels with the pristine MG logos have no kerb damage and a few light imperfections visible only on close scrutiny. Branded Hankook 185/55 R15 front and 205/50 R15 rear tyres were fitted in 2024 and the Goodyear spare wheel is unused with coloured tyre banding still visible! Ventilated front discs and solid rear discs with factory optional electronic anti-lock braking fitted offers positive straight-line stopping power.
