The latest media release from MG Rover:
RELEASE IMMEDIATE January 22, 2004
LIMITED EDITION TF INITIATES CELEBRATIONS FOR
MG's 80th ANNIVERSARY - ONE ALREADY SOLD FOR #275,000!
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 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 bid reach a
total
of #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 (CVT transmission) or 160 power
units.
Rod Ramsay, Sales Operations Director, MG Rover Group, says: "It's
appropriate that we celebrate 80 years of MG production with a special
TF
80th Anniversary LE - the product most closely representing the icon
that
is the archetypal MG sports car. If a charity auction can raise
#275,000
for one of the LEs, then the remaining 499 represent great value!"
