M O D E L S :   MGTF - Limited Edition: 80th Anniversary

UPDATE -- January 22nd 2003: Even more official ;o) Press Release from the UK on this page with more (nice) quality pictures

UPDATE -- January 14th 2003: It's official now. Just before the weekend some newspapers came with a leaflet showing the silver TF 80th Anniversary and the official website are mentioning the new version. Today I went to the Brussels Motorshow and found a fabulous Pearl Black TF, number 20 of the Limited Edition of 80 years MG. It is indeed a limited edition with a maximum production number of 1600 units; 100 of them will be delivered to Belgium. As silver is still a popular color, even for the TF, 60 of them will be Starlight Silver, while the 40 others will be Pearl Black. Unfortunatly all of the Belgian LE's will be TF135's, a decision I could understand.

  Front foggies are standard on this Limited Edition

  Nice Alcantara seats with an embroidered logo on the back of the seats

  Special badge mounted on the bulkhead let you remind the individual number

  The alloy finish is part of the Bright Pack

  The LE 75th version came with wood, this one with alloy

  The well known rear of a TF, but this one comes with a special logo . . .

  . . . here it is.

  Windstop is included in the whole package of the LE

  Sports Pack 4 or with other words, nice set of 16" alloys and impressive brakes

  Side view of the car.... it is really an eye catching car on the motorshow

  

  Nice combination

ORIGINAL MESSAGE -- I am writing Thursday 28th of October 2003 in my agenda, while I am receiving a message about a limited edition for the MGTF.
