They're certainly no slouch Dave, they perform well, even the 1.6. Reasonably light cars that handle like they're on rails

Possibly something too consider in the future.

Just watched this.

Time for some research on the car and the question I'd like too know what tuning options are averlaible for these cars.

Be brilliant too make a fast convertible.

What of curiosity are they any good in terms of performance?
I've never driven one ever they look part and what's like about them.

In the sports convertible category its easily the prettiest compare too the other mainstream motors like the Mazda MX5.

Mines is a 1.6 and can be quite nippy when pushed but to be honest i never push it Its a car meant for pootling down quite country roads taking in all the joy of being in an iconic 2 seater, mid engined MG

I nearly went to see one just like yours Simon, your TF is stunning by the way.

The roll hoops are an extra.......they look good and will have some for mine when I find some for less than what I paid for the car
There are genuine option ones about that are marked so but, most seem to be aftermarket. Mike Satur ones seem to be the ones to have........pricey though

Thanks for that Paul, Roll Hoops... love it.

I guess all the usual K Series tuning options are available Dave, remaps etc, etc.

There's one that has had a 2.5 KV6 fitted and if you trawl the FB pages, somebody is building a V8 powered one at the moment

No way - there is no walnut and chrome.

A V8 in one of these now this and I have too see.

Can chassis cope with the V8?

With it being at the back the weight distribution would be right for it.

Doesn't Brian also have a MGF/TF, what model does he have, does anyone know?

[Lordy]

Just watched a motor sport video and Jesus there's one MGF that fly like a at out of hell.

BHP 290 for something that lightweight that's pretty damn fast.

It's being built with a space frame at the rear Dave.....proper job. If I can find it, I'll post a link.

Not sure Wes, although he has advised me a couple of times on mine
