I bought my Mrs an MGF in 2002 in BRG with tan leather and she loved it, unfortunately it was rear ended by a lorry in 2012 so I bought an MGTF Spark in sonic blue as the replacement. The ride is much harsher and doesn't seem to be as well made as the F.
We toured France twice in the TF and it's surprising how much you can get in it including using space under the bonnet. Both had head gaskets go but both have been very reliable over the years as I've done all servicing etc myself. As my Mrs is having back problems now I'm moving the TF on in the spring and replacing it with an MGZT 260 I've bought and getting back roadworthy, will be sorry to see it go. I've also had an MGF and TF myself, my eldest has an MGF, my youngest has had 2 MGF's and they are fun cars until cam belt change time, then no skin left on the wrist due to a very small space to work on

I think a R50/R56 MINI would be a great second car if an auto is required. The R53 Cooper S was available as an auto too later in its build.
