Description
Here we have a wonderful low mileage example of the rare MG TF LE500.
After SAIC acquired the MG brand, they re-launched in the UK with a run of 500 High specification Limited Edition MG TF models. Each unit is numbered with this one being number 342.
The LE500 has the 1.8 16v K series engine putting out 136 BHP, and came with a body coloured hard top as well as the normal hood with heated rear glass screen. The standard wind deflector is fitted and the car retains its original tonneau cover. The car has leather sports seats which are in excellent condition showing minimal wear. A/C is standard, as well as a Pioneer radio with iPod connector - all original; electric windows and remote central locking.
Finished in Graphite Grey the exterior is really good with only the most minor of small scuffs or scratches which are shown in the photos along with a small rust spot on the drivers door edge. The car sits on the 16in multi-spoke alloy wheels, and these have Toyo tyres with excellent tread. The wheels could no doubt benefit from a refurb to really set the car off. Brakes are the multi pot versions with callipers in red.
