MG TF Vintage Racing SE
25 of the original 30 are now accounted for and in use and unless otherwise indicated the cars are in France
This list will be updated whenever new information is found, so if you are interested check back from time to time :thumbsup:
1: Now with its 6th owner (satanas06). Sold for € 12,900 in early 2011 with 48,000km on the clock. Then again in Sept 2011 was advertised with 55,000km on the clock having had the timing belt and water pump changed at 50,000 kms. The asking price then was € 13,500. Reg No 8794 YD 84 or in a photo from when it was for sale once AG 404 WW.
It is thought to be the car exhibited at the Salon de l'Automobile in Paris in October 2004, however, I have heared some discussion of this, as photographs of the stripes on the car at the exhibition do not appear to match exactly the stripes on this car.

Posted 12 years 11 months ago #31815Thanks for posting, they are super cars and I would love to own one.
At 17.000 Euros that must be the priciest F/TF on the market!

Ok so here are a couple of shots I took at Gaydon last year when I was having my new roof put on..... as far as I am aware there are 3 "vintage Racing" looking TF's around.... Mine in west London, Karls down in Sussex and Im not sure where the other chap is... but here they all are at Gaydon 2010
The origin of the white and blue stripes dates back to Citroen racing colours
Not the first MG to be painted this colour scheme, here is an MGA
Finally, a photo of a couple of distant relatives
I would like to include here any Photo's of Vintage Racing inspired cars, so if you couldn't resist the draw of the stripes show us what you did.
To get the ball rolling here is my slimmer inverse interpretation, I'll not put any more of mine in here you can find plenty more in the PHOTOS section

:bust: Ahhh children. You think they are doing what you asked when they have the camera in their hand. I had a similar 'when I got home' moment recently

Look forward to your photos :broon:
