Hi,
Wow Phil that picture is HUGE !
A good friend of mine and MASSIVE MG fan, managed years ago to get hold of chassis number 000002 MGF ( first was crash tested ), he worked for the company that dealt with the disposal of all MG /Rover experimental cars as well as there every day crash damaged car's. He managed to talk his way into saving shell no.2. It was a pure ' body in white car ' ie. was a fully assembled car but with no underseal, seam sealer ect and loads of very strange trim ect that never made production. As a MGF tech I gave him a hand stripping it for sealing, as was totally un-driveable in that condition, next time I get a chance to speak to him must ask what became of her, I was told he could only legally sell it back to MG, but not sure if that was the case.
The first hundred or so shells were recalled and scrapped as the dimensions were so far out we could not stop them pouring water in so anything early is a very very rare car, dam sounding like a MG anorak [:p], got launch packs, workshops manuals etc. all stuff I saved when left MG dealership I worked at.
On that note, a T shirt of mine -
The TF was a far better car BMW had breathed upon the MGF and this was the result, and to be honest a bargain of a sports cars, so nearly took a job a few years ago at Brown And Gammon working on them again.
Cheers John
