1.5 Million MG's
|
|
Don't you love statistics and this month MGR
have excelled themselves by producing the 1.5 millionth MG ever made on
the 16th April. This breaks conveniently down to 1 million roadsters and
half a million saloons.
To celebrate this auspicious landmark in this Jubilee year MGR have built a unique MG TF . This vehicle is TF160 and is finished in a special paint under the Mongram programme, a range of 20 special colours. This one is called Monogram Jubilee Gold and has a "Supertalic" finish. The car will take place in a motoring cavalcade in Pall Mall on the 4th June as part of the jubilee celebrations following which it will be auctioned for charity. This car is strictly a one off although you should be able to get the same colour for an extra £800 on the cost of the basic TF. There was a similar project in 1977 when a blue MGBGT was built with special silver jubilee livery and sold for charity. Incidentally the 500,000th saloon was an anthracite ZT-T 190 although this seemed to get a bit lost in the general celebrations.

| To make this car extra special it has been fitted with seats
of Oxford Leather bolsters and black alcantra centres and headrests with a
special golden Jubilee monogram.
Each of the 162 alloys has a special "crown" centre insert and the words "The 1.5 millionth MG" are written above each side air intake. There is also a crown incorporated in the rear 160 gold ingot. |
