A concours winning Mk1 MG Metro Turbo with an incredible 7,359 miles from new.

EQUIPMENT
All steel unitary construction, laminated windscreen, bronze tinted glass, halogen headlamps, opening rear quarter lights, ventilated front disc brakes, uprated suspension, wheel arch spats, front spoiler, Turbo decals, twin rear fog lamps, twin door mirrors, light-emitting diode boost gauge, tachometer, digital clock, radio/stereo cassette player, asymmetrical-split folding rear seats, two-speed wipers with flick wipe, heated rear window, rear wash/wipe, cigar lighter, choke warning light, leather covered steering wheel, load space lamp, glovebox with carpet lining.  Dealer options; Metro rubber floor mats, rear seat belts.

EXTERIOR
Exquisite in every respect and one for the perfection seeking collector.  The Arum White paintwork, (Code NMF), gleams brightly with a factory original gloss shine uniform throughout.  The special moulded front spoiler incorporating brake cooling ducts and moulded wheel arch spats are perfect.  Colour coded accessories and lower sides requested by the original owner have been put back to Mk1 factory specification setting off the red Turbo decals.  All immaculate white accessories are included such as twin door mirrors and wiper arms.   Wheel arch apertures are spotless and this car is worthy of its Concours winning trophies.  The front and rear light clusters and even both side repeaters and rear fog lamps are factory fitment with the Austin logo to the lenses.  This ultra-rare Hot Hatch is virtually perfect.

INTERIOR
Prepare to enter the 1980’s with this as-new Austin Rover MG cockpit.  The Grey herringbone/Grey velour seat facings and padded headrests with red piping are perfect and the ribbed finish red carpeting with ‘MG’ motif moulded into a drivers heel mat is unworn.  Rubber Metro floor mats have protected the few miles that the car has been used for.  The red front and rear seat belts and Turbo badge on the centre of the steering wheel remind the driver this was the ultimate performance MG and at the time, the fastest ever MG saloon, double the power of a Metro City!  All features work within the colour-keyed facia including the very cool light-emitting diode boost gauge and radio/stereo cassette player with integral speakers in the door bins. This really is the best.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Perfection continues under the bonnet with everything correct, gleaming and fully working.  The turbocharger installation, developed in conjunction with Lotus, has resulted in a 93bhp with superbly progressive power delivery.  A top speed of 112mph is quoted with 0-60mph in under 10 seconds.  Breakerless electronic ignition with anti-knock control and an oil cooler were all standard features to the flagship Turbo model.  Even the turbo cooling pipe crudely stuck to the underside of the bonnet from factory and often missing remains attached!  The 4-speed all synchromesh gearbox is light and precise with none of the issues often prevalent due to the higher engine power.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The unique Turbo Cast alloy wheels with flush style hub and wheel nut covers are perfect and have never been refurbished.  The conscientious first owner removed them in the cars early years and placed them into storage with excellent factory Dunlop SP Sport D3 tyres measuring 165/60 HR13.  These have now been refitted to continue the concours theme and an immaculate second set are supplied with the car.  The servo-assisted duel circuit brake system with ventilated front discs are gripped by 4-piston calipers and modified rear drums with a compensator valve to pull the car up quickly and safely.

HISTORY FILE
Prepare for utter amazement with this history file to verify the mileage, condition and provenance.  The car has had two registered owners from new and was supplied by Lex Mead of Bexleyheath to first owner, Mr Hugh Watson Wickham-Lamont on the 21st March 1984.  The new vehicle invoice reveals a total price paid of £6,073 and the Lombard North Central finance booklet is included for the £3,000 borrowed on finance.  Mr Lamont was very protective over this car and retained every service receipt, tax disc, MOT certificate and sales literature documentation.  After six years and 6,532 miles Mr Lamont took the vehicle off the road in fear of it being stolen or damaged and stored it off the ground in his centrally heated garage. The car was run on a regular basis to keep the oils flowing.  In 1999 the car re-emerged and was displayed by him at the Guildford MG Show which soon progressed into Regional and National Concours wins.  Once he felt the car had achieved the standing it deserved it was put back into storage and venturing out the occasional MOT.  A letter written by Mr Lamont details the history of the car along with Concours score sheets, trophies, show tickets and programmes.  His ownership spanned 30 years until 2014 when the second registered keeper Mr Johnson became the owner.  This pampered example is without question one of the best in existence and a very rare opportunity for the most discerning collector.

EXTERIOR
This beautiful two-seater sports car MG TD Series Midget is finished in its correct factory produced colour of Woodland Green and displays a wonderful unmolested and bright finish with perfectly acceptable natural aging. The winged central hinged bonnet, suicide doors and large front wings sweeping into the running boards hark back to an entirely different motoring era, a world away from the somewhat sanitised and mass-produced cars we have today.

The hood frame and material are present and in very good order, as is the full tonneau cover with some light markings. The optional badge bar remains fitted and is adorned with vintage MG and RAC badges. A spiffing gentleman’s sports tourer.

INTERIOR
The naturally aged and original all-leather upholstery in Green is simply delightful and very well preserved. The matching green trim sections show some age as do some original seals. The seats are fully intact with no rips or tears and the seat structure is not overly worn. The leathercloth covered fascia is in superb order and the controls and gauges operate well with exception of the clock.

The original speedometer and revolution counter have the distinctive pale green back plate designed to reduce reflective glare! All factory fitted controls and switchgear are well preserved and the Lucas windscreen top mounted wiper motor and huge thin rim steering wheel to remind you of a far simpler motoring age.

Just five owners in total since new, quite remarkable for a 66 year old car and all of whom are traceable in the history file. The first owner, Mr Bruce Smith, owned the car for 30 years until 1983 when it was purchased by a R.N. Titcombe. In the mid 1990’s the car was purchased by Mr Jeff Connor who in 2013 sold it to Mr Derek Sidgwick who then passed it on to his Daughter, Nicola Sidwick in 2017. A neat organised file contains invoices and previous MOT certificates as well as owner letters and a workshop manual. An enormously bright, useable and rare Home Market example ready for many more years of classic motoring and the next chapter of enjoyment.

The factory fitted 15” square spoke alloy wheels are un-refurbished and as new with original MG badged centre caps. The front and rear tyres of size 185/55 R15 and 205/50 R15 respectively are matching Continental Premium Contact, and the spare wheel with original Goodyear GT3 tyre is unused with tyre sticker intact. The original jack and brace are stored in the leatherette bag. The braking system incorporates factory optional electronic anti-lock assistance and discs all round (ventilated front) to offer positive stopping power.

HISTORY FILE
Supplied new by MG Rover Main Dealers, The Priory Motor Group on the 3rd August 2004, the car was initially registered to them as a dealership demonstrator before being sold to the first private keeper Mrs Rosemary Pearson. The Used Car Vehicle invoice within the history file confirms all the details of when the car was sold by The Priory Motor Group at nine months old. In 2011 MG Owners Club member, Mrs Maureen Wylie, became the second and only other keeper. Used as a dry weather weekend car by both custodians and kept garaged, this pampered example has covered an incredibly low 16,470 miles from new and is preserved in amazing order.

The original handbook and service book are present in the black leatherette MG wallet and there are nine documented service entries including a cambelt and water pump change in 2016 at 14,051 miles. A neatly organised history file contains all supporting service invoices and previous MOT certificates to further validate the genuine low mileage and fastidious upkeep. There are two original keys on matching yellow MG leather key fobs. The dealer branded key fobs are also included. An original MG TF brochure completes the impressive history file. A dedicated enthusiast club scene, coupled with excellent parts supply network and easy maintenance, make good examples a sheer joy to own. This pristine MG TF offers the complete package of a preserved, low mileage, low owner, well maintained and superb performing example, fast becoming a hugely desirable modern classic. It even comes with matching yellow sunglasses!

EXTERIOR
This incredible MGF is finished in classic British Racing Green, (Code HAM), and boasts a deep shine from garaged storage and a very low 5,136 miles. The factory black hardtop was a cost option at £1,125 and although unmarked the headlining has dropped slightly. The woven acrylic fabric hood is as new and the plastic screen completely clear. Being an early example the car is fitted with orange indicator lenses and has optional front fog lights. All panels are straight and display excellent shut lines and fit and even the boot lid is flush, so often raised due to the incorrect fitting of the tonneau cover. The underside is remarkable displaying every factory marking and easily a contender for concours. All trim is unmarked and a removable MGF Register badge is fitted to the front grille. This example will satisfy the most fastidious fanatic and is probably the best surviving example anywhere.

INTERIOR
Specified with luxurious and cost optional Beige leather, (Code SMK), the interior of this cossetted example is as new. Wonderful and genuine MG accessories remain fitted such as the dark walnut veneer facia kit and real wood/alloy gear knob complementing the leather perfectly. The cut pile carpets have tailored MG velour mats covering them and 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. The 1.8i VVC model is fitted with the colour-keyed leather trimmed steering wheel in perfect condition and the knowledgeable will note the red line at 7250 rpm on the tachometer. Both front and rear luggage areas are surprisingly spacious and spotless with the front housing an unused spare wheel and jack and even shows all factory PDI paint dabs! MG museum quality in all respects.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The desirable four-cylinder 1796cc VVC, (Variable Valve Control), engine produces 143bhp enabling a top speed of 130mph and 0-60 in just 7.0 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 Hydragas suspension has recently been set to the manufacturers ride height of 368mm. A documented cambelt and water pump change was carried out in February 2019. The short throw sports ratio five speed gearbox completes the package.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The original and unrestored 15inch five-spoke style alloy wheels with the MG logo are in pristine condition with no damage whatsoever and the only owner from new even paid extra to have genuine MG branded valve caps! Factory fitted Goodyear Eagle Touring tyres of size 185/55 R15 tyres up front and 205/50 R15 at the rear will please originality seekers and while tread and rubber condition are excellent it is recommended to renew them for safety reasons if the car is to be used. Ventilated front discs and solid rear discs with electronic anti-lock braking fitted as standard on the MGF 1.8i VVC offer positive straight-line stopping power.

HISTORY FILE
Purchased new by motoring fanatic Alistair McKillop who typically enjoys his collection of Lamborghini supercars, this cherished top specification MGF 1.8i VVC has covered an incredible 5,136 miles since new! Frustrated with the poor service received from his local MG Dealer and price differential, Mr McKillop placed his order with MG Main Dealers, Royal Motors in Germany. Delivered new to exact UK specification and registered on the 1st July 1998 this car can only be described as Condition One in all areas. Two lever arch folders await the new owner neatly filed and make fascinating reading containing virtually every MGF brochure, service document and purchase correspondence. In February 2019 the vehicle underwent a full service to include both cam belts and water pump to supplement the five other entries in the service book. All handbooks in the MG leather folder are present and two sets of keys and remotes remain. Both key sets still have still have the engine immobiliser cards and key number tags attached!

A cherished private ‘MGF’ registration number is included with the sale to what must be one of the best surviving examples made available for a lucky new custodian.
