Available in two colours, Mulberry Red and Black, the MG F 75 LE comes with a contrasting hood colour; Black when specified Red and Grenadine Red when specified Black and featured 16" eight-spoke ‘Minilite’ style wheels. The interiors were all trimmed in Grenadine Red leather, with leather seats, door casings, handbrake, gear lever gaiter and steering wheel. The wood/alloy gear knob was matched with wood veneers on the centre console and air vent and the in-car entertainment was uprated by the addition of a single-disc CD player. Externally, a chrome theme is applied to the door handles, grille and bodyside air intakes. From the 2,000 production run, UK allocation was only 500.

Manufactured in 1999, ‘V248 FFG’ is a desirable VVC example and was supplied new by Crawley Down Group Ltd, being registered new on the 23rd September that year. Finished in Mulberry Red paintwork with Grenadine Red leather interior upholstery and a Black hood, the MG is entered into the sale along with two others from a small private collection of MG Rover cars. Offered with just c.78,000 recorded miles on the odometer, the MG F has had just three former keepers. Benefitting from renewed head gasket in 2010 at 63,000 miles, the 75th Anniversary has received an ignition service kit including a new coil earlier this year. Supplied with a history file that contains the book pack, including the owner's handbook and service book in the MG wallet, the history is documented across the service book and invoices, the most recent of the 10 services being last year 76,919 miles. Also on file, are a collection of MOTs, a large collection of previous invoices and a current V5C document. These 75th Anniversary LEs are highly collectable and this example is temptingly offered without reserve.
