THE iconic MG sports car brand is celebrating its 80th anniversary in 2004 with specially-produced limited edition cars.
Derived from the UK's best-selling sports car, the TF 80th Anniversary LE (pictured) has a unique specification and limited production, of which only 500 will be made available for the UK market.
A debut for the limited edition MG car was held this week at the Retail Trust's Hollywood Ball at the Grosvenor House, Park Lane. The charity auction, conducted by fashion celebrity Jeff Banks, saw the bids reach £275,000.
Three 80th anniversary TF LEs are available with colour-co-ordinated hood and trim combinations, and features that include unique identity detailing, with a choice of 135, 120 Stepspeed or 160 power units.
Rod Ramsay, sales operations director of MG Rover Group, said: "It's appropriate that we celebrate 80 years of MG production with a special TF 80th anniversary LE - which most closely represents the icon that is the archetypal MG.
"If an auction can raise £275,000 for one, the other 499 hold great value!"
