The MGF is one of the most significant MG-badged models of the last thirty years, being the brand’s first mid-engined roadster as well as the car that brought MG back with a bang. And yet the MGF is also one of today’s biggest open-top bargains, despite having a loyal following from both enthusiasts and specialists alike.
With 118-143bhp on tap, the MGF’s performance came from a 1796cc version of Rover’s K-series engine. Watch out for head gasket issues and signs of general neglect; then simply enjoy the fact that £1500 still buys a two-seater sportster in decent nick.

I regained 20 years of youth when I bought my copper red 2.0i, love it. It sticks to the road like glue. There's no better feeling than having the wind in your hair and a responsive pedal under the right foot.No problem with spares or repairs, because of the number of these cars out there the prices stay low.
