MG Mgf Cars And Mg TF Cars

The MG MGF Cars Mark II (MK 2) underwent a facelift in Autumn of 1999 and gave the car a revised interior as well as styling tweaks and fresh alloy wheels designs. There was also the introduction of a base 1.6 version and a more powerful 160 hp (119 kW) variant called the Trophy 160, which had a 0-60 mph time of 6.9 seconds. It was only produced for a limited time. An automatic version with a CVT called the Steptronic was also introduced. The MG F continued to sell well in spite of the sale of the Rover Group, which was announced in March 2000. Land Rover was sold to Ford, while the MG and Rover marques were sold to the Phoenix consortium for £10. In spite of competition from the likes of Mazda MX-5, BMW Z3 and Audi TT, the MG F still proved fairly popular.

In early 1997, Stephen Palmer at SP Performance offered modifications to the 1.8 K-Series engine. Notably a supercharger, boosting power from 143 to 207 bhp (154 kW; 210 PS). The 0-60 time was reduced from 8.5 to a claimed 5.5 seconds and the top speed increased to a limited 150 mph (240 km/h). The brakes were upgraded to competition discs with ABS wrapped up in 17" alloy wheels. Other differences were a beefier bodykit and an aerodynamically aiding adjustable front splitter. The complete package cost £29,500, and although that sounds expensive, it was still only the same price as a 2.8 litre BMW Z3 and £4,000 less than the Lotus Elise Sport. It was referred to, in SP Performance's original press release, as "The Affordable Supercar".
