OK, OK - there's really no such thing as an MGf Special, but this one's had so much done to it that it almost qualifies ... almost.... but it is quite a special MGf ! Owned by two members of the same family since new and the current owner for 27 years, 'The Flying Tomato' - as it was christened by the dealer that spec'd it - has been in constant use (Covid apart) proving just what a fabulous model MG produced. It's been all over Europe, been the daily commute and yes, it's done track days - for which it's none the worse. In fabulous condition, it has many more miles and days of fun left in it. As a part of general improvement for appearance, safety, longevity and track day performance, it has had a considerable amount done to it - The standard brakes replaced with 280mm front and 240mm rear grooved discs and EBC 'Yellow Stuff' pads. The most cost-effective way of getting round a circuit faster is to improve the brakes ! Brake hoses replaced with braided stainless steel hoses Suspension modified by Techspeed, lowered by 10mm and Bilstein shock absorbers fitted. It was Techspeed who set up the MGF race series cars. Steering rack replaced with higher geared item as used on MG TF - much sharper K&N air filter replaced standard - greatest effect is on the induction noise - a beautifully restrained 'roar' ! Orange indicator covers replaced with clear ones - they look better Plastic fuel injection body replaced with aluminium equivalent - durability Wheels powder coated - to look better for longer. Last year's work, costing 3,250 pounds performed by the MGF Centre in Wolverhampton - real MGF specialists - included- Replacing the head gasket - with the latest and proven Land Rover type.
