Did You Know? Anecdotes and Curiosities about our Miniatures

What does the acronym MGF stand for in the name of this British roadster?

MGF stands for 'MG Fun' or according to some sources 'MG Future'. This car marked MG's return to the roadster market in 1995 after a 12-year absence, succeeding the legendary MGB.

What particular technical innovation distinguished FGM from its competitors?

The MGF was equipped with an interconnected Hydragas suspension, inherited from the Austin Metro and Rover. This system provided improved handling by linking the front and rear suspensions on each side of the vehicle.

Why did FGM production stop abruptly in 2002?

Production ceased with the closure of the MG Rover Longbridge plant and the liquidation of the MG Rover Group. However, the car was reborn in 2007 as the MG TF, produced by the new Chinese owners.

How many MGFs were produced during its 7 years of production?

Around 218,000 MGFs were produced between 1995 and 2002, making it one of the best-selling British roadsters of its era. It was particularly popular in the UK and Germany.

Which car celebrity was involved in the development of the MGF?

Former Lotus engineer Rob Oldaker oversaw the development of the MGF. His expertise in lightweight sports cars helped make the MGF a balanced roadster, despite Rover's budget constraints at the time.
