Back into the TF fold...

Hi all,

It's been a few months now since I had to get rid of my lovely but tired old MGF. About to pick up a new TF next week which is pretty much everything that I was looking for. Not the cheapest, not the most expensive, but the best I could find.

The car is a one owner from new TF 115 Sunstorm-boooo 1.6 I hear you cry. But I only see it as a plus point for cheaper tax and insurance! :spank:

It's had virtually everything possible done to it that needed and stuff that didn't too! The paint is superb and unmolested. There is a lack of rust too, which is lovely.

The interior is the only thing that isn't to my taste, beige and black. Also comes with a crappy cd player, usb charger thing nailed to the dash, bizarre looking door cards with somesort of carpet tread plate attached that don't match the seats. But all easy to sort out. Does anyone else think that the seats are not orginals??




















But apart from that I'm well chuffed. Just got to pay for it now............ :nonod:

Looks tidy, but I'm with you on the interior.

Good looking motor that should be trouble free for sometime
When I sold my '99 F vvc, there was only one TF for me, the 160 :yesnod:
Still got work to do on it though.

I believe the kick plates might be Mike Satur ones .................................. saw them mentioned on another retoration thread.

Nice clean car though.

:welcome: back LL.

It's no big deal, but shouldn't there be two horns?

And it's got mk1 door card inserts.

Nice looking car though. :broon:

Thanks guys. I thought it had. Why the heck would someone pay to put worse door cards in!? Very odd! My Mrs doesn't know it yet but got a few mods planned. Twin horns, black interior and possibly silver trim on wheel and dash.

The seats should be black leather with grey alcantara inserts on a Sunstorm... was standard fitment.

Nice car though.

The 1.6 variants always came with those door cards instead of the later version.

I'd definitely be questioning why it lost its Sunstorm seats though? Plus the car is still up on eBay too!

Looks a nice car ,a bit tight asking an extra £300 for the hard. top may be you did a deal :beer:

The metal kick plates are not the MS ones. As David A says the 1.6 kept the Mk1 F door cards which look fine to me. While the seats may have been changed, they are proper TF seats and look really clean.One horn is standard on most TFs (project Drive).

Looks like a nice car and I hope you enjoy it (her?).
