3 February 2005 - £100,000 paid for top specification TF
A bespoke MG TF sports car sold for £100,000 in a charity auction at the Retail Trust Ball, hosted by Ruby Wax.

The MG TF achieved the highest bids of any item auctioned during the evening, which raised nearly £250,000 for the Retail Trust charity.

"As the UK’s best-selling sports car, the MG TF is clearly a very popular car. I’m naturally delighted, though not surprised, that individuals are keen to acquire one at any price. This particular highly specified MG is available to order at a value comfortably below £100,000!" said Rod Ramsay, managing director of worldwide sales & marketing, MG Rover Group

The MG TF 160 auctioned was a highly-specified top-of-the-range model, specially painted in the bespoke Monogram Shot Silk paintwork – a colour that ‘travels’ from purple through to green dependent of lighting conditions. Sumptuous Oxford leather trimmed interior, with wood steering wheel and a body-coloured hardtop were key elements that drove the Baugur UK Group to bid successfully for the MG.

About the MG TF

Produced by MG Rover Group at its Longbridge production facility in South Birmingham, the TF is the MG brand’s iconic model, with a lineage that can be traced back through all the great MG sports cars. Monogram is a personalisation programme that allows individuals greater choice of exterior paint colours and other bespoke features. The MG TF 160 with Monogram paintwork, extra wood items, an Oxford leather interior and hardtop is valued at £25, 390.

MG was established in 1924 by Cecil Kimber, then General Manager at Morris Garages (from which the famous letters are derived). MG club membership enthusiasts exceed 100,000 across the world – more than any other automotive brand.

 

16 November 204 - MG GT Concept breaks cover

You would expect the MG TF's brother to be faster, more rugged and undeniably more handsome and so it is - the MG GT concept. The company's design team has taken the hugely popular TF and turned it into a modern day
expression of the beloved MGB GT from the trendy 1960s.

That car was treated to some more powerful engines in the shape of the 3-litre straight six (MGC) and 3.5-litre V8 (MGB GT V8) and so the engineers have developed this latest concept around the 2.5-litre KV6 engine. Raising power to 200bhp, performance is predicted to give the GT sub six second zero to 60mph acceleration and a top speed of 145mph. The increase in speed is aided by the reduced drag GT style, cutting the aerodynamic drag coefficient from 0.35 to 0.31.

As engineers and planners consider ideas for the next generation of the UK's top selling sports car they have been researching the 'fixed-head' market. Many of the 'warmer climate' markets prefer sports cars to have anintegrated, coupe style and air conditioning to cope with high summer temperatures. Also, recent models like the Audi TT have shown that hardtops can be highly popular for customers who prefer the style of a fixed-head coupe.

Features of interest specified on the MG GT concept include 17" Gunsmoke five-spoke OZ alloy wheels, similar in design to the MG XPower SV. An extended front aero splitter is balanced by a longer tail-spoiler integrated into the bootlid design, generating reduced lift at speed.

New door mirrors feature integral side direction indicator lamps and the switch for the electronic door opening feature, that in the process have eliminated the external door handles for a clean exterior design profile. The interior is trimmed with Burgundy Red leather seats with the fascia and door casings also following the same colourway.

Peter Stevens, MG's design director says: "We would love to expand the MG TF range with a high-performance MG GT which has inspiring handling, practicality and great looks.

"The KV6 engine combines a superb soundtrack with a surge of power and a wider performance envelope to drive within - perfect for a sports car."

The TF's recent sales performance is impressive. It is the UK's best selling sports car and sales have climbed in each year for the last three. Further improvements will be introduced in 2005 to retain the TF's customer appeal of being a desirable all-round performer.

 

23 January 2003 - MGR & MIRA show how "Racing Improves the Breed" at Low Carbon Vehicle Testing
The exciting new hybrid technology of the MG TF 200 HPD is being presented to Energy Minister Stephen Timms at the first anniversary of the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership at Millbank today. This vehicle was unveiled recently at the Motorsport Industry Association’s ‘Clean Racing Conference’ by Rob Oldaker, product development director, MG Rover Group and John Wood, managing director, MIRA. The ‘Hybrid Performance Development’ car is a petrol/electric powered MG TF featuring a combined output of 200Ps deployed through its four road wheels. MIRA engineers in consultation with MG Rover Group have produced the ‘200 HPD’ specification, derived from the popular MG TF sports car, producing functional and environmental benefits, with a wider performance capability potential for motorsport and for public awareness.

Rob Oldaker, commented: "The 200 HPD is the culmination of two talented Midlands-based companies, bringing together their expertise to create this MG car, that perfectly illustrates the notion of "racing improving the breed".

John Wood, added: "We conceived the idea to produce an enhanced performance car that anticipated environmental requirements, while expanding today’s sports car driving experience. The car achieves this with ‘responsible performance’ where the innovative hybrid solution sharpens acceleration, at no expense in tailpipe emissions, yet also offers customer benefits like all-wheel-drive traction and the low-speed clutchless operation of ‘City mode’."

Responsible Performance

The holistic approach combines electric traction with aerodynamic advances, driving the perception of hybrid cars forward into the realms of driving excitement. Motorsport has a renowned capacity for efficient development of components and systems while stimulating the public’s interest. This concept is a new opportunity for the industry to accelerate technical progress, supplier capabilities and customer awareness of these hybrid technologies: they are capable of giving a competitive edge with green credentials.

Enhancing the performance of an existing MG TF without increasing the environmental impact was the aim of the project undertaken through a partnership between MG Rover Group and MIRA. The initial development vehicle - the MG TF 200 HPD - reduces the existing 0-60 time from 6.9 to sub-6 seconds, without increasing tailpipe emissions or fuel consumption, yet also offers a range of other benefits high on the customer wish list, such as enhanced traction through all wheel drive, continuous sporty ‘hotshift’ acceleration, and relaxed low speed clutchless option using ‘City mode’.

Working in consultation with MG Rover Group, engineers at MIRA designed and developed a parallel hybrid drivetrain to supplement the existing rear wheel drive 160Ps MG TF, using an electric motor to drive the front wheels. The additional power of the electric motor results in a 25% increase to 200Ps, greatly enhancing the sprint acceleration of the MG TF. The motor, innovatively combined with Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), extends opportunities for advanced all wheel drive active torque distribution.

MIRA’s advanced design, control and simulation techniques have configured the system so that the hybrid system re-charges during part throttle cruising, to deliver clean, additional performance when the driver needs it most. One potential motorsport application envisaged could use the battery pack to provide a finite number of boosted acceleration cycles, allowing evenly matched drivers to overtake and to stimulate spectator appeal.

MG Rover Group and MIRA expect that, once developed, the technologies will move onto the manufacturing design feasibility stage. Indeed, the partnership, which includes MG Rover Group, MIRA Ltd and Powertrain Ltd, has just been awarded a contract by HM Government’s Energy Saving Trust to develop these technologies into production viable passenger cars. The technology and functionality of the sports car project provide a timely ‘stepping stone’ into future designs for volume products that are appealing to consumers.

Project VERVe (Versatile Environmental Road Vehicle) represents the partnership’s £4m commitment to the E.S.T.’s Ultra Low Carbon Car Challenge; to develop a C segment passenger car capable of sub-100 g/km CO2 emissions, while offering a stimulating drive at an affordable price.

"Consumers are demanding cleaner cars," concludes John Wood of MIRA, "and the MG TF 200 HPD technology offers motorsport the opportunity to both increase consumer excitement and accelerate technical progress."

9 May 2003 - TF reaches record production figures.

MG TF, the UK’s best selling sports car, is on the increase due to customer demand.  Sales in March 2003 reached their highest level since introduction and that of its predecessor the MGF.  The increased build rate rises by 130 to 430 units per week. 

 

The TF represents the attractive combination of great handling, high performing engines, stylish design and open top motoring.  Impressive performance and economy extend this desirability still further.  Recent class leading scores in the Euro NCAP safety tests and being judged the ‘World’s Most Beautiful Cabriolet’ in Milan have combined to demonstrate the appeal of this pedigree British sportscar.

 

Commenting on the increased production, John Sanders, MG Rover Group Sales and Marketing Director said: “The TF has proved to be another great success for MG. With the special offer in our spring campaign ‘Bring us any genuine offer and we’ll beat it’, there has never been a better time to buy one of these superb sports cars.”

 

18 May 2003 - MG TF now officially the worlds most beautiful cabriolet.

The MG TF has been judged the 'World's Most Beautiful Cabriolet' at the awards ceremony held by L'Automobile più Bella del Mondo, in Milan.  A panel of
13 international judges, made up from design experts outside the automotive industry, credited MG TF with the class win 'for blending great originality and typical elements of MG tradition, with a strong casual and dynamic character'.

The World's Most Beautiful Automobile title is an established award, now in its 10th year.  It recognises design significance from a non-automotive perspective.  Judges included leading art critic Bruno Alfieri and art-photographer Gianni Berengo Gardin.  Thirty-three car product designs are judged in nine categories.

John Sanders, sales & marketing director, said: "This accolade is an outstanding achievement particularly in the light of such an impressive body of judges and another example of how the company's talented styling and engineering teams have developed the MG TF into a car of both substance and style."

The Rover 75 won the high-class saloon category in 1999.  The MG TF has also been awarded 'Cabrio of the Year' at last year's Geneva Motor Show and recently performed exceptionally well in Euro NCAP tests with a four-star occupant and three-star pedestrian result. It is available in four specification models, priced between £15,750 and £19,995.
 

28 February 2003 - MG TF wins accolade in New Zealand.

MG TF, the UK's best-selling sports car, has been voted Performance Car of the Year by Driver Magazine, at the Annual Motoring Industry Car of the Year Awards in New Zealand.

Selected for its "truly sporting chassis and brisk performance", Driver Magazine said that it "really liked the MG TF and found it both fun and a serious performer". The MG TF beat the HSV/Monaro, Maserati Coupe/Spyder and Mitsubishi Diamante Ralliart.

Allan Dick from Driver Magazine commented: "The MG TF 160's new suspension set-up, improved body torsional rigidity, more powerful engines and attractive new styling were key influences in the judging panel's decision to vote the TF Driver Magazine's Performance Car of the Year."

John Tweedy, International Markets Director at MG Rover Group, said: "This success in the first few months of our re-entry in to New Zealand is another example of the great enthusiasm for our products shown in new markets and bodes well for our expansion in international markets."

 
13 February 2003 - MG TF recalled to check front suspension bolt.

MG is approaching owners of MG TF sports cars, built in 2002, to check the torque of a suspension bolt.

A few reports have been received that identify isolated instances of torque relaxation on the bolt used to attach the damper to the upper suspension arm. 

To protect the long-term integrity of the suspension system, MG is implementing a recall action on all TF models within the affected VIN range.  Owners are being requested to have the suspension bolt examined by an MG Rover dealer at the earliest opportunity.  The inspection and any remedial action will be carried out free of charge.

Steve Hudson, quality director, MG Rover Group, emphasised: “MG Rover Group takes the safety of its customers and their cars very seriously.  For this reason, we are embarking on a recall action to ensure peace of mind.”

 

28 January 2003 - EURO NCAP makes the TF safest car.
MG TF, the UK’s best selling sports car, has today (January 28) been awarded the class-leading Euro NCAP safety result. The car has achieved an excellent four-star occupant safety rating complemented by a class leading three-star pedestrian protection score. All other sports cars registered just a single star. The performance is even more impressive considering the recent introduction of much more stringent Euro NCAP pedestrian test criteria.

The TF is an excellent design for pedestrian safety, with its attractively proportioned and aerodynamic front end. If a collision were to happen, the front of the car is designed in a way to reduce injury to pedestrians. The mid-engine layout, with no engine beneath the bonnet, provides an absorbing area reducing further the risk of head injury.

Euro NCAP conducted tests on the MG TF produced the following points rating for crash performance:

Frontal 10.48
Side 15.55
Occupant safety protection total 26.03 (a four-star rating)
Pedestrian safety protection 19.34 (a class-leading three-star rating)

 Adrian Guyll, vehicle safety protection manager at MG Rover Group, said: "Sports cars are enjoyed for their motoring freedom, but customers can be confident that our engineering development fully ensures the MG TF performs extremely well in safety tests, as demonstrated by the Euro NCAP safety tests. Quite apart from its high four-star occupant safety rating, the three-star rating for pedestrian impact – two stars better than the competition – is an exceptional performance and one that will be respected by MG owners and the general public alike."

Note: The MG TF is the UK’s most popular sports car. Its iconic personality is true to the brand’s traditional respect for safety

 
16 April 2002 - Golden Jubilee TF  - marks 1.5 millionth MG TF

 

 

MG Rover announces today (16 April), the building of the 1.5 millionth MG car since production began in 1924. Over its 78-year history many characteristic varieties and designs of MG have made their mark on the enthusiastic motoring public and made this one of the most famous motoring brands. The 1.5 millionth MG produced today is the new TF 160. In celebration of H.M. Queen’s Golden Jubilee, it is fittingly painted in new Monogram Supertallic paint ‘Jubilee’ Gold and finished with special Jubilee badging.

MG has long been the by-word for sports car motoring and over its history, as illustrated in the attached listing, the proportion of roadster and sports saloon models produced runs at exactly 2:1, with the MGB itself accounting for one third in its own right.

In 1977 a similar project produced a specially prepared MGB GT finished in blue paintwork with Silver Jubilee livery, to celebrate the Silver Jubilee. This car was sold, with proceeds raising money for charity.

John Sanders, MG Rover’s group marketing director, said: "The MG marque is one of the most popular and enduring motoring marques, with a strong and enthusiastic following. The exclusivity of the MG experience is demonstrated by the 1.5 million MGs produced. This is no mainstream volume brand, but an authentic car capable of generating a rewarding driving experience for owners who demand more than just mere A-B transportation. The latest MG four model range delivers this exciting experience in a bold and dynamic way and is as authentic in its rewarding driving attitude as those that have been produced over the years."

1.5 MILLIONTH MG GOLDEN JUBILEE SPECIAL

It is significant that the 1.5 millionth MG should be the new TF, for it is the latest of a new range of MG sports cars and it currently holds the torch as the icon of the MG brand into the 21st Century.

The 1.5 millionth MG Golden Jubilee is painted in a new paint treatment under the Monogram programme. Monogram is a range of 20 exclusive paint colours, one of which is ‘Monogram Jubilee’, a light, bright special Supertallic Gold that is available for an £800 additional charge.

Specified around the top of the range TF 160, this celebration model has been fitted with optional fog lamps and passenger air bag. The seats are uniquely fitted with Oxford leather seat bolsters and central black Alcantara cushions and seat backs, which are embroidered with the Golden Jubilee crown logo.

On the exterior, exclusive badging includes official Golden Jubilee crown logos – on the four 16" alloy wheels and also incorporated into the ‘160’ ingot badge on the rear, next to the TF identity badging. Above the mid-engine side-intakes are the words ‘THE 1.5 MILLIONTH MG’. Finally, the MG is registered MG02OTF, so that there is no mistaking its special production significance.

The Golden Jubilee TF will be participating in a motoring cavalcade that finishes in the Mall on 4 June and in between, will be used to raise money, with the proceeds going to one of H.M. Queen’s nominated Golden Jubilee charities.

 
14 April 2002 - MGTF is big hit as 3000 sales orders made

LONGBRIDGE'S newest MG has left all its sports car rivals standing - with 3,000 advance orders revving up huge demand for the car.

The MGTF, successor to the famed MGF, has been so successful MG Rover has already increased the model's output from 330 a week to 430. The car was launched in a blaze of publicity in February and has already won thousands of admirers in the UK and export markets across Europe.

MG Rover spokesman Greg Allport said the sales boom for the new model had vindicated the company's decision to invest heavily in the MG range.

"For a long time, we wanted to be back in the sports car market but the available funds went to the mainstream models. Funds were not available in the 1980s and 90s but from the summer of 1995 the MGF was the UK's bestselling sports car.

'Then, when the new management took over the company in May 2000, one of the key thrusts was to get far more out of the MG brand than we had done.'

Positive road tests after the February launch led to an order book of 3,000 from a range of key markets, including the UK, Germany, France and Italy. 'We are now building at the rate of 430 a week, increasing the line rate by 100, simply to meet the demand,' said Mr Allport. 'The car has had an absolutely fantastic reception.'

The new range of MGs currently being produced at Longbridge has boosted the models to 30 per cent of output at the Birmingham car factory. MG Rover bosses now hope that the MGTF will generate annual sales of between 14,000 and 15,000 cars per year!

 

6 May 2002 - MG TF takes top Geneva award

Today at the Geneva Motor Show, Rob Oldaker, MG Rover Group‘s Product Development Director was presented with the "Cabrio of the Year" award 2002 for the new MG TF sports car.

This most prestigious annual award, voted by a jury of 18 independent motoring journalists from 11 countries, is given to a new open-top car with outstanding design and appeal to a widespread international audience.

Accepting the award from Jean-Marie Revaz, President Geneva International Motor Show, Rob Oldaker commented: "Eight months ago the MG brand was represented by only the MGF sports car. We now have a full range of performance saloons, namely the MG ZR, MG ZS and MG ZT, a sports ZT-T estate and the new MG TF sports car, which was launched in February.

Oldaker further stated: "I accept this award on behalf of the company’s talented engineering and styling teams, who have developed the new MG range in such a short period of time."

  

 

15 January 2002 - Brussels Show Debut for the TF!

MG today (15th January) unveiled, for the first time, the new MG TF at the Brussels Motor Show. The MG TF is a fundamental new generation of the MGF, Britain’s best selling sports car and introduces a new exterior appearance, an all-new suspension design, higher performing engines and a host of new paint, interior trim and hood colours.

 

Launched progressively into world markets from February 2002 with an array of new improvements, the TF is led by its design, feature specification and driver enjoyment. In the UK market, the MGF has been the best selling car in the roadster sector for the last six years and the TF has been evolved to continue this tradition.

 

The MG styling team, led by the company’s Product Design Director, Peter Stevens, have substantially developed the exterior style and aerodynamic packaging – the two key influencing factors on purchase decision.

 

The TF carries a sharper, more aggressive and purposeful look, which was honed in both studio and wind tunnel. The improved aerodynamic characteristics play an integral part in the chassis development and maximise the benefits of the new suspension and steering changes. The TF has a new front bumper, shaped to reduce front-end lift, with a framed lower air intake and the provision for ‘Fogstar’ fog lamps. All-new high-efficiency projector headlamps complete the frontal appearance. At the rear, an integrated effective lip spoiler incorporating a high-mounted stop lamp flows from the rear deck. The TF is lower with a greater dynamic appearance, assisted by its dart-like sill features and crisply-shaped air intakes. A crucial aspect of the TF’s engineering development was the requirement for a new suspension design. A completely new coil spring suspension and multi-link rear axle replaces the MGFs inter-connected Hydragas system to produces a more responsive and involving set-up, re-engineered to produce a completely enjoyable driving experience. An optional Sports Handling Pack permits greater levels of driver involvement and further improved handling performance.

 

The MG TF is a new generation of the MGF, that recognises the ‘real world’ affordability and practicality required of a fully-functioning everyday sports car. The modified front and rear subframes are solid-mounted and the new suspension features a 10mm lower stance. This benefits appearance, stability and handling with its lower centre of gravity. The body structure has been stiffened in crucial areas to produce a 20% more rigid shell, producing an improvement in windscreen header vibration. Steering is now more responsive, with a completely new tune for the speed-sensitive Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS), with a 10% faster geared rack with revised characteristics to give a more progressive steering feel throughout the car’s speed range. On ABS equipped cars, braking distances have been shortened by 10%.  

 

A four-model range provides customers with a spectrum of performance, style, affordability and specification. Designated by numbers closely linked to their power output, the range includes the 1.6-litre TF 115, the well-appointed 1.8-litre TF 135, the TF 120 Stepspeed with multi-function CVT sports auto and the range-topping TF 160 with the legendary Variable Valve Control K Series engine. The TF range spans a 118mph/190kph to 137mph/220kph speed range capability, with improvements to performance, economy and CO2.

 

New paint colours; XPower Grey and Le Mans Green are available on MG TF, with Trophy Blue and Trophy Yellow now extended to the entire range. TF also introduces three new optional hood colours – in blue, grey and green and new trim fabrics – Sebring and Daytona. Three new interior colours to complement Ash - Tan, Grenadine and Smokestone are available with matching tonneau covers for when the hood is folded. New alloy wheels include an eleven-spoke 16" design and the option of an ultra-lightweight.

 

Rob Oldaker, MG Rover Group’s Product Development director, explained: "The MGF has proved to be an amazing success having dominated its sector for the last six-years. The introduction of the new MG TF will enhance this popularity further. I have no doubt that the new TF, with its fresh new design style, new suspension with revised rear linkage geometry and a rich choice of feature specification and colour will produce even more exhilaration and retain MG’s sales pole position."

 

The first MG TF built will carry a 0101 VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) suffix, following an MG tradition that has used the last three numbers of the company’s telephone number - Longbridge is 0121 475 2101. Abingdon MGs from 1930 were started at 0251 (Abingdon 251), with MG Magnette ZAs and TF Midgets using a 0501 VIN following the company’s BMC Headquarters in Birmingham having the 1501 telephone number.
