HISTORY FILE
Only 2,000 MG 75th Limited Editions were made for the global market of which the UK market was allocated just 500, this UK example being number 1171. This example was registered on the 1st September 1999 and supplied by MG Main Dealers, Evans Halshaw of Macclesfield. A new car order form, sales invoice and handover form made out to first owner, Mrs Amelia Tester, confirms the price paid of £19,995. Clearly cherished by the three owners from new, the fully verified mileage covered is a mere 12,056 miles. The large history folder contains a comprehensive collection of receipts, invoices and previous MOT certificates leaving in no doubt the fastidious care this car has enjoyed. The original handbooks, instruction pamphlets and code tags are contained in the leather MG wallet along with the original service book with 10 stamped entries. The most recent documented cambelt and water pump change was carried out in 2016 at 10,854 miles and the last service was in November 2018 at 11,909 miles. Two sets of keys with dealer fobs and a Limited-Edition Sales Pack including the rare sales brochure complete the history file.
An unspoiled, preserved and prized MGF with remarkably low mileage puts this car firmly in collector territory.
