Info about this vehicle:

1998 ROVER MG F MY01 - Green - 95,975 km - British Mid-Engine Sports Car, Leather Interior, Manual, Project Opportunity
1998 Rover MG F MY01. Rear wheel drive (mid-engine layout). 1.8L Petrol. Manual. 95,975 km indicated. 2-Door Convertible. 2 seats.
Description
The MGF is one of those underrated British sports cars that tends to fly under the radar in Australia, and that is mostly to its benefit. Mid-engine, rear-wheel drive, two seats, manual gearbox, and a leather interior. It replaced the MGB as Rover's sporting flagship and used the K-Series 1.8 in a transverse mid-mount configuration behind the seats. Handling is genuinely fun and the platform has a strong following through specialist suppliers.
This one is honestly presented. The paint is the headline issue, with extensive clear coat failure concentrated on the bonnet, where delamination covers the majority of the surface. The rest of the body holds together better, the panels are straight with no obvious collision damage or major dents, and the soft top is structurally intact, though it shows the usual age-related fading and discolouration. The alloy wheels are the correct factory items and retain their shape, though they show mild oxidation consistent with age. Interior includes leather seating and an owner's manual.
The vendor has flagged cooling system concerns and recommends checking coolant levels before running. This is a well-known issue with the K-Series engine in the MGF. It needs to be taken seriously, investigated before driving, and factored into your budget. The price guide reflects the project nature of this car. If you want a sports car to drive tomorrow, keep looking. If you have the patience and the trade contacts to sort the cooling system and put a fresh coat of paint on it, there is a genuinely enjoyable little sports car here at budget money.
